Spaniel Rescue Dogs & Puppies for Adoption in and around Chichester

As of 8 November 2026, no spaniels are listed for adoption in and around Chichester on LocalPetFinder. Rescues add animals all the time, so this page fills as they list them.

It depends on the breed. The Royal Kennel Club lists the English Springer Spaniel as needing more than two hours a day and the Cocker Spaniel up to an hour a day. Dogs Trust calls both typically high-energy. Ask the rescue about this dog, as age, health and working background make a difference.

The Royal Kennel Club lists the Cocker as small and the English Springer as medium; the breed standards give a height of about 38 to 41 cm for a Cocker and about 51 cm for a Springer. The Springer needs more exercise and a larger garden, and the Cocker needs grooming more often. The Cocker was first bred to hunt woodcock, and the Springer got its name from "springing" forward to flush game.

Each rescue sets its own adoption fee. Dogs Trust charges £300 for a puppy or adult dog in England, Wales and Scotland, and Blue Cross fees start from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over and £335 for dogs aged 1 to 7. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.

No. We don't list animals for sale. Every spaniel on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. Rescues rehome animals rather than selling them, usually for an adoption fee: for example, Dogs Trust £300, and Blue Cross puppies under six months start from £525. The fee usually goes towards vet work already done, such as neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations. If you searched "spaniel puppies for sale Chichester", the spaniels here are the rescue route: you apply to the rescue and pay its adoption fee, not a sale price. In England, Lucy's Law has meant since 6 April 2020 that puppies under six months can't be sold by a third party such as a pet shop or dealer: you buy direct from the breeder or adopt from a rehoming centre.

Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. Many rescue fees are under £500: Dogs Trust charges £300, and Blue Cross from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue. All dogs in the UK must be microchipped by 8 weeks old, and in England, Wales and Scotland a dog can't pass to a new keeper until it is chipped, so ask to see the microchip details.

Not right now: no spaniels are listed in and around Chichester today, so there are no puppies either. Puppies do get listed, and rescues can tell you much more about an adult's character, so check back.
