About the ESSFTA Foundation
The Foundation began its activities in 1996, focused on education for breeders, owners, and the public as well as health and genetic research. The ESSFTA Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit [501(c)(3)] charitable corporation formed to promote and provide financial and other support for individuals and organizations focusing charitable, educational and research efforts on dogs in general and the English Springer Spaniel in particular. Contributions to the ESSFTA Foundation are being put to work on Springer health challenges, such as epilepsy and inherited eye defects. The Foundation also seeks to provide meaningful educational experiences and materials for parent club members and the public.
The generosity of contributors to the ESSFTA Foundation makes it possible to include our breed in studies such as the two seizure research projects we are undertaking along with the AKC Canine Health Foundation. If you would like to support the foundation, donations may be sent to:
