Sadie is a one and one-half year old Cocker mix that came to us from New Mexico. She is a very sweet, loving dog that just says “love me” when she looks at you with those beautiful eyes. She is quite obedient, walks well on a leash, comes immediately when you call her name and is not food aggressive, but she does get so excited when it comes to treats that she can hardly contain herself. She was housetrained when we got her and now she is a pro at the doggy door as well. While she is slightly timid, she is quite friendly with everyone she meets and gets along well with her housemates, Blackjack and Pepper (though Pepper wasn’t the happiest when she arrived, she’s gotten used to and accepts her now). However, Sadie never batted a lash if Pepper growled at her to get off the same couch, she just jumped off and sat on the floor nearby. She is quite playful and likes chasing after plastic balls, tennis ones too except that she then chews those right up.
Sadie has a full tail and is white with black merle markings. She is up to date on all vaccinations and is spayed. RMCR will microchip her for you.

My name is Little Guy. My real name is Kalalau, but Little Guy was so much easier for my foster mom! I’m a lively little 12 year old. I recently lost my family when they had to move and were unable to take me. Since I am a senior I have a few health issues but they are all managed with low cost medication. I have low thyroid and a mild heart condition, neither of which slow me down. I also don’t hear very well, but my sense of smell is amazing! I live at 8,000 ft and am as active as the younger dogs in my foster home. I am good with dogs of all sizes and am not interested in cats. I am a great little companion who would love to be someone’s lap warmer. I ride well in the car and am good on a leash. I also know sit and down and can use a doggie door.

Dear Friends at Rocky Mountain Cocker Rescue,
In late summer-early fall of 2011, we adopted Toby. He is a wonderful and perfect addition to our home! Toby, now “Mr. Dude”, has bonded with each one of us in different ways. He and I hang out and play or just snuggle. Dad and Toby play ball, go for walks and play, play, play! He and our daughter are best friends. Toby loves “his girl”! Thank you RMCR aiding us in finding the best dog!
P.S. A note from Toby: Life here is great! I have lots of energy and a fun family. I’m such a good boy! (Mom tells me that all the time.) I’m learning new tricks and making friends wherever I go. Thank you for finding my forever family!

Bo is a lovely five year old neutered Cocker Spaniel. He has had chronic ear infections, but is in good health otherwise. He is house trained, good with dogs his size and smaller but is scared of dogs bigger than him. Here’s what his foster mom added:
Bo – is PERFECT! Sweet, loyal, cuddle bug. He will insist on cudding with his forever mommy/daddy! His little nub of a tail is a non stop wag! He will let you know when he needs to go potty – He will stand by the door and whine a little bit. He is such a happy boy and took to his foster family (dogs and humans) in under a second. He gets along great with other dogs. He was exposed for a short time to a cat and pretty much ignored him. So I think he would be fine in a family with cats. He was great with my older nieces and even my 2 1/2 year old nephew didn’t scare him. He does growl a little bit when chewing on a toy or bone if another dog comes close. I haven’t seen him react more then growling though. We currently have him on Avo-derm brand food and suggest that he stay on that food for the rest of his life. Bo has dry skin but since he has been on the Avo-derm he seems to be doing MUCH better! She also believes that is also helping with his cronic ear infections! Oh, and you should see what he does for treats! He turns in circles and rolls over! It’s so cute!
Bo is current on his vaccinations and RMCR will ensure that he is microchipped for you.

Bobbi Mae is a courtesy cross-post for another rescue. Please use the contact information below if you are interested in her.
Hello, my name is Miss Bobbi Mae, and I got very lucky when the animal control officer chose to call the rescue to come get me. He told me they would “put me down” immediately after my 72 hour hold because I had a bad eye… I don’t understand what he meant, but my foster mom was sure upset about it! She just loved on me and hugged me and told me “what a lucky girl” I was!! She is taking me to the ophthalmologist in Kansas City to have my eye looked at to see if it can get better. I am trying to be very good so I can make friends and find a loving home of my own very soon. I am already housetrained, my vaccines have been updated, and I am heartworm negative. I am approximately 6-7 years of age. AND, I’ve had my teeth cleaned up pearly white, and I am spayed too! I love to follow my foster mom and the other foster dogs around the house and the yard too. Call about me today or email the rescue at: rockinpaw@cableone.net (620) 340-2749. You may text this number too!

Husker is a delightful three year old neutered male that came to us from Wyoming. He was an owner surrender due to health issues of his previous owner. He is a black and white merle with two different colored eyes. He’s a bit larger than your typical Cocker Spaniel, weighing around 45 pounds.
Husker is a little timid around men but seems to be very comfortable around women. He does warm up to men with time. He would probably do best in a home older children. He can be a little leash aggressive so care should be taken on walks. We’re not sure how he would react to cats. He seems to be completely house trained, is crate trained and loves to play fetch.
Husker is up to date on all of his vaccinations with his rabies due in September of 2012 and is microchipped.
If you are interested in meeting Husker, please make sure you’ve submitted an online adoption application.

Poncho has a pending adoption application! You can still apply with the understanding that he may not be available.
Meet Poncho! Poncho is a two year old neutered black and white Cocker Spaniel that came to us from Arkansas. He looks to be at least part English Cocker Spaniel, if not full blood.
Poncho is great with other dogs and children of all ages, and we assume he would be fine with cats. He has a great personalty – he smiles and shows his front teeth and wiggles his little rump at the same time. He rides well in the car and is fine on a lead, although he does tend to pull a bit. He is up to date on all of his vaccinations and is heartworm and Lyme Disease negative. RMCR will make sure that he is microchipped for his new family.

- Dodie with Poppi
Dodie sent the following note to us about her new life with Zebie, who she now calls Poppi. We’re so happy to have been a part of this perfect fit!
I lost my 14 year old cocker last November 3rd. From January through April I fostered a cocker/terrier mix. Then I knew that I wanted/needed to have my own little girl again. I looked on-line at various sites, and found a pretty little dog I was interested in, but she was already in a foster to adopt situation. I kept watching, and Zebie (now Poppi) appeared, and I quickly sent an application in to adopt her.
Within a couple of weeks, John called, and asked if I wanted to meet Zebie. “YES! I DO!” I met her at her foster mom’s home on a Sunday afternoon, fell immediately in love with her and brought her home with me. She made herself right at home while I acquainted her with her ‘outhouse’ and various other things – like her bed, her crate, and her toy box — all those important things, and she just settled in. She was napping soundly 30 mins. after we got home.
She’s been here with me now, for a month. Its as though she’s been here all of her 6 years. She loves playing with the neighbor’s dogs through our shadow box fences, and occasionally we exchange ‘play dates’so they can all really play together for an hour or so. She loves her Kong treat ball – empty or full, having her ears scratched and her belly rubbed…and very big, very wet kisses if you happen to be within 6″ of her tongue!! Naps are also high on her list of things to do.
She doesn’t like to have me out of her sight for too long, but is o.k. when I have to run an errand or two. She’s still a little skittish when people/friends visit, if she’s not yet met them. They all know to approach her gently and let her make up her mind when she’s ready to befriend them – it doesn’t take all that long. She does have to check them out pretty thoroughly however.
She’s very, very good at making me laugh, its like having my own, personal, little clown around all the time.
I’m so thankful to the RMCR for getting us together. I am amazed at their professionalism and caring and effort – not only for the dogs, but for the new owner(s) as well. Just is very nice to know there are caring people like that, to find these little dogs new and happy homes. And I thank them for all their work and concern and thoroughness.

Hi, I am Charlie. I am a young male Cocker Spaniel, between one and two years old and I have my entire tail! I had a very tough start in life. I was mistreated by my previous owner. I was left outside and barely fed. Fortunately, someone took pity on my and I was rescued and brought to Rocky Mountain Cocker Rescue.
When I first got to my foster house, I didn’t want to come inside and had no idea what steps were. I quickly learned that I can do both and love it! Despite my tough upbringing, I am an incredibly loving little boy. I love to be with other dogs and play with them. I also love to have my person scratch me for hours.
As you can see from the pictures, Charlie is a gorgeous black and white Cocker. He is up to date ono his shots and will be getting neutered prior to adoption. He’s also microchipped. He is very excitable when on a leash and he sees other dogs. He wants to play with them all!

Meet Charley! He’s around eight years old , while with black markings, and is looking for a new home because his owners are relocating and cannot take him along. Shhh! – don’t tell his owners, but Charley told us he likes Colorado anyway.
Charley is around 40 pounds, is house trained and crate trained. He has a lot of energy and sticks close to home. Over the years he has become afraid of thunder but is happy to wait out the storm in his crate. He’s great with kids, cats and other dogs.. He is well trained as he has had both obedience and home training. Although he has been taught to perform well on a lead, he hasn’t been walked in awhile, so his new owners would need to work with him to remind him of these skills. He is completely up to date on his vaccinations (rabies due in 2013).
