Rocky Mountain Cocker Rescue

Chrysy

Chrysy (short for Chrysanthemum) is almost eight years old and is finding herself looking for a new home. Her owner, who has had her since she was a puppy, has had to move into senior housing. The transition from a house with a big yard to a small apartment has been difficult on Chrysy. She’s black and white and weighs around 30 pounds.

Chrysy is spayed and fully vetted. She had a lumpectomy about five years ago, but has not had a recurrence. She is crate trained and leash trained. She’s initially wary of other dogs, but warms up quickly. She enjoys attention from humans and prefers to be close by, sometimes even resting her head on her owner’s feet. She loves playing with her stuffed toys, especially when someone with thrown them so that she can retrieve. She is a very gentle play pal.

Chrysy sounds like the perfect dog for a quiet home, preferably without young children. Chrysy’s temporary home before coming to us had 2 cats and she did very well with them, if anything, they teased her. She is a very sweet lady and would love to be your lap warmer. She is also adept at managing a dog door as well and barks very little.

If you are interested in meeting Chrysy, please make sure you’ve completed an online adoption application.

Chelsea

Chelsea is a senior female that is looking for a new home.  Although she is around eight years old, it’s hard to tell by looking at her.  She doesn’t have a speck of gray!  She’s active and very loving.

Chelsea is a small girl, only around 20-25 pounds.  She’s mostly black with a little brown here and there.  She is house trained and can be trusted off-leash, although we always recommend that dogs be on a lead in high traffic areas!  She does have a thyroid condition that requires her to have daily medication that is reasonably priced.  She is spayed and will be up to date on her vaccinations and microchipped for her new owners.  She is an owner surrender.  She is a darling girl that responds well to her name and knows basic commands.  She’s starved for love and hopes that you will be the one that will give it to her.

If you are interested in meeting Chelsea, please make sure you’ve completed an online adoption application.

Missy’s Happy Tale

Missy, a Cocker mix, arrived in the Rescue a scared, distrusting and defensive dog who had known life only as a too-small crate in the basement. After four months with RMCR, she had blossomed into a playful, happy, confident little girl who loved to be with her people. Nancy was looking for a new companion after losing her beloved Cocker, Copper, and expressed an interest in Missy. When Missy showed up to the adoption event, looking super cute after a trip to the groomer, Nancy fell in love! Missy’s foster mom knew it was a good match when Missy curled up next to Nancy after a few minutes with her, and then saw Missy trot off happily with Nancy to her new life. We wish Nancy and Missy all the best!!

Molly

Molly is a three year old black and tan female Cocker Spaniel that came to us from Arkansas.  A local rescue convinced the owner to surrender her because she was locked outside in a dog run full time.  It turns out that she has belonged to the owner’s daughter and was an indoor dog, but when she was given to the owner, she was banished outdoors.  She was free-fed and consequently, she’s put on a few additional pounds that will require diet and exercise to resolve.

Molly is a total sweetheart.  She loves to be petted, especially if it’s a tummy rub.  She would be perfect for any family as she gets along well with kids, cats and other dogs.   She is up to date on her vaccinations and is spayed.  RMCR will ensure that she is microchipped for you as well.

If you can look past her current size and know that you can help her get back to a healthy weight, and you are interested in meeting her, please make sure you’ve completed an online adoption application.

RMCR Goes to School

Rocky Mountain Cocker Rescue was invited to bring some of our rescued Cocker Spaniels to Cherry Hills Christian School on Wednesday, April 27th.  This event was a Carnival Day celebration that focused on 3-5 year old children that had vision impairments.  Transportation Coordinator Jim Majeres and Volunteer Coordinator Andrea Eucalano took several dogs to the event, including Chance.  In the photo above, one of the children gets to see what Chance “looks” like.  They were especially interested in meeting Chance because he, too, has a vision impairment.  Chance has cataracts.  The kids enjoyed visiting with the dogs and Jim and Andrea enjoyed being there with the kids.  Many thanks to Cherry Hills Christian School for inviting us to enjoy their carnival.

Chance is available for adoption as of this posting.  He is not totally blind, but rather suffers from a clouded vision.  He’s around 9 years old and is a total joy!  Although he sounds ancient, he still has many good years left!  Let us know if you are interested in meeting him.

Maggie

Maggie is currently being considered for adoption by fer foster family!

Maggie is a three year old black and brown spayed female.  She was surrendered to the animal shelter for being aggressive to other dogs, however she is in a foster home with three other Cocker Spaniels and they get along just fine.  Therefore, we don’t know what may have caused any aggression, if in fact there was any.  She does display protectiveness when it comes to her food, so a prospective owner may have to feed her separately from other dogs.

Her foster mom says that she is super sweet, cuddly, and gives lots of kisses.  She has a lot of energy and loves to play.  She sleeps in at night in her kennel with the door on it left open.  She seems to like having her own little sleeping area.  She is completely house trained and comes when called.   

Maggie would do best in a home without really small children and she would do ok with other dogs close to her breed. She would make a great pet to caring people. She seems to really like going on car rides.  She also does very well on a leash (no pulling)  and likes to go on walks!

If you are interested in Maggie, please complete an online adoption application.

Laser

Laser is a black and tan female Cocker Spaniel.  She is approximately six years old.  She came to us from Springfield MO.  She’s a friendly and has had puppies within the six months. Laser got along well with the foster mom’s resident Cocker and kept going over to the foster mom for pets and love. Her favorite pastime is rolling onto her back for belly rubs.

This wonderful adult is spayed, up to date on her vaccinations and will be microchipped for you.  She would be a wonderful addition to any home.  We’re not sure how she would react to hyperactive toddlers, so older kids might be best.  She should be fine around cats as well.

If you are interested in meeting Laser, please make sure you’ve completed an online adoption application.

Lyle

Hi Everyone. My name is Lyle and I am a 6-7 year old Cocker Spaniel.

I have had a tough life recently. I am underweight and have a bit of a problem with my housebreaking skills. My foster friends are working with me on the later and I am eating like a horse to help with the former.

Other than that I am a loving, affectionate boy who loves to be around people all the time. I love to snuggle up on the couch with my people, At night, I like to curl up at their legs while they sleep. I’m not much into toys but am energetic and run everywhere. And boy do I love going for car rides!! I am up to date on all vaccinations, am neutered and will be microchipped soon!

Please come and see me and give me a forever home!! You’ll need to fill out an online adoption application first!

Rex

Rex is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel mix that came to us from Arkansas.  He is very companion oriented.  He loves to be where you are and he loves riding in the car.  He loves being in the house and is house trained and has a favorite chair he sleeps on.  At night he likes to sleep in the bed with you.  He has a basket full of toys and when he wants a toy he goes and gets it out of his basket.  He also loves water – he loves to play in the water.  His current family bought a kids water toy that has little things that move around when the water is on and he loves jumping in/out and playing or just playing with the hose up in the air.  When he runs, he actually jumps.  He is so funny to see running because he is like Tigger – bong, bong, bong.

Rex needs to be in a home without cats or other small pets.  He is fine with other dogs and with kids.  He is up to date on his vaccinations and is neutered and microchipped.

If you are interested in meeting him, please complete an online adoption application.
