Minnie’s Story:

My name is “Little Miss Minnie Moo” (or so my foster mom calls me…). I am SO HAPPY to have been rescued, and am loving life in my foster home with my fellow Cocker Spaniel wigglebutts! They are so much fun! At first I wasn’t sure because all I have ever known is living in a crate my entire three years of life. I am so happy to be free and happy now, to play in the backyard with my new friends and to be petted and have my ears scratched by my foster parents. The only thing better? The only thing better would be to have my very own home and be loved FOREVER and never be homeless again. 

I am only 3 years of age, a pretty black/white parti girl. I have been spayed, heartworm negative, I am housetrained, and all of my vaccinations are up-to-date thanks to the loving people at Rockin’ Paw Rescue. They tell me I am ready to meet potential adoptive families now! Please call and ask about me today.

Clarence

Clarence is a 5-6 year old Cocker Spaniel mix, most likely with a Springer Spaniel.  He is an owner surrender.

Clarence was adopted from the Denver Dumb Friends League and has been with his current family for around five years.  He was uncomfortable around men, but has been treated with Prozac and has been doing well.  Although he has been around small children with no incident, he recently snapped at the owner’s nine-month-old child.  Although he has never bitten anyone, they are concerned that he will bite the child and feel it best to find a new home for him.   He knows how to shake, give a high-five, and jump through a hoop!  He loves to follow his owners around, even the dog-sitters.

Clarence seems to be willing to please, but perhaps had some trauma in his earlier life.  He would do best in a home with experienced owners with no children.   

Clarence is up to date on his vaccines.  In addition to his Reconcile (Prozac for canines), he also take an inexpensive medicine for hypothyroidism on a daily basis.  He is neutered, crate trained, has had professional training and enjoys going on walks.  He is house trained and can be trusted to be left alone indoors for extended periods of time. 

If you are interested in meeting Clarence, please make sure you have completed an online adoption application.

Baby Bean is approximately 9-11 months of age, black with white chest, 18#, spayed, all vaccines current, and is heartworm negative.

Baby Bean is making great strides in her housetraining every day! She is crate trained (as long as she has a chewy or Kong to keep her busy and occupied until she falls asleep.) She is learning to walk on leash, and is FULL OF GO!! She will make a great energetic partner for power walks! She is a lovebug, and prefers nothing more than to be at your side and be petted and to have her ears rubbed. Baby Bean is fostering in a household that has three other Cocker kids and LOVES company. She also loves that fabulous “mommy and me” one-on-one time too…  An absolute dollbaby!

Shasta

Shasta is an adorable small black and white female Cocker Spaniel that was found as a stray with her best friend Pierre (a black and brown Cockapoo).  They traveled from eastern Kansas to Denver in hopes of finding a new home.  So far she is nothing but sweet and quiet.  She met her foster family’s cat and showed little interest and is good with their other dogs and kids.  Although she would like to have a home with Pierre, as long as there’s a loving person to keep her safe, she’ll be content.

Shasta is spayed and is up to date with her vaccinations.  RMCR will make sure that she is microchipped for you in case she ever decides to go on another adventure!  She is comfortable in a crate and does well on a leash.

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

Spritzer

Spritzer is around two years old and came to us from Utah.  He’s white and black.  He is up to date on his vaccinations, is neutered and will be microchipped before being adopted.  He is doing well on his house training and leash training.

Spritzer is good with other animals and kids.  He’s looking for a new home with kids and other animals to play with. 

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

Blue

Blue is a black and white merle Cocker Spaniel. His name is Blue because he has one beautiful blue eye and one brown eye. His markings are nothing short of phenomenal with gorgeous silver colors intermixed in with his black and white fur.

Blue is around three and a half years old and was surrendered to a local shelter by a breeder. Fortunately, he doesn’t exhibit any of the genetic defects possible with breeding merles. He’s friendly and easy to please. He loves car rides, other dogs and even cats. He has been suffering from a chronic upset tummy and the vet thinks that he may have a food allergy which means he would need to be on a diet that consists of proteins other than the typical chicken, beef or lamb. He’s also on probiotics to re-establish healthy bacteria in his stomach. He loves to be held and have his tummy scratched to which he responds with generous kisses.

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

Cupcake

Cupcake is approximately eight months old and is a Cocker Spaniel mix.  She came into rescue with her mother, Foxy, from Las Vegas NM.  They were surrendered to the animal shelter by their owner because they had more dogs than allowed by the county.  Cupcake is being spayed as we post this, is micro-chipped and is up to date on vaccinations.  Due to her age, she may need some reinforcing of house training skills.  She gets along with everyone and would be a wonderful addition to any family.

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

Charlie

Charlie is a six year old male black and white Cocker Spaniel that is being surrendered by his owner.  He actually belonged to the owners mother but sadly she contracted Alzheimer’s and had to go into a memory care facility.  The owner already has two dogs and her landlord won’t allow her to keep Charlie.

Charlie is neutered and weighs around 45 pounds, so he’s a little overweight.  He’s currently on a diet plan to help him reduce.  The vet would like to see him get down to 35 pounds.  He is house trained and is allowed to roam free in the home when no one is there.  He is not crate trained, but is leash trained.  He is up to date on his vaccinations and will be microchipped before being adopted.  He’s looking for a forever home with lots of love and attention.

Update from Charlie’s foster mom:

This is a real gentleman of a dog.  He has a beautiful friendly face and is black and white. His personality is wonderfully mellow and I would say submissive – he always defers to my 2 females aged 4 and 19 and has NEVER once been aggressive toward them. He likes to lounge around ; always cuddling up to or near his masters feet, but as he is only 4 he does need to be walked. He is a steady strider that you can have a “fast walk” with, but I would not call him an athletic “running type” of dog. He does not yank on the leash and stays with you. He has the distinctive English “high stepping” way of walking.
One thing that is important to him is he likes to spend his spare time outside soaking up the sun – he will go outside several times a day and just sit. Therefore he needs a home with a back yard. 
Other things: is not interested in toys or dog biscuits but LOVES peanut butter as a treat. He takes it in a gentle manner.He has a hearty appitite for dry food and drinks lots of water.  He seems to have been trained not to jump up on couches or people.(He doesnt do it) He knows Sit and Stay and DEFINITELY knows his name. All in all this is just the sweetest bundle of love that would work out great as a family or single persons pet. (PS I don’t have a cat and neither do any of my neighbors so I don’t know how he is with them)

Kesha

Kesha is a four year old black and white female Cocker Spaniel that is being surrendered by her owner.  Kesha has decided that she wants to be the boss and does not get along with the other dogs in the home – a toy Poodle and a Cockapoo.  Aside from her aggression towards these other dogs, she’s very sweet and loveable and enjoys cuddling with her owner.  Currently, Kesha is in a foster home with another Cocker Spaniel and they get along just fine.  Perhaps it’s just the smaller dogs that she wants to rule!

Kesha is spayed and up-to-date on her vaccines with the next round due in 2011 and the rabies towards the end of 2010.  She is house and crate trained.  She does cry for attention, but is satisfied when she’s acknowledged.  She’s had ear infections in the past, so care will need to be given to keep these under control.  She’s very gentle around children two and up, however we don’t know about cats.

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

Biscuit

Biscuit is a four year old who male black and white Cocker Spaniel that could be Sissy’s long lost brother since they look so much alike..  He will bark when he want out, or to play or to eat  He is full of life, wanting to be the center of attention.  He will do well in a home with a strong leader that will reinforce his training and let him know that people are his best friends. 

Biscuit is up-to-date on his vaccinations, is neutered and micro-chipped.  He is fine around other dogs and should be fine with children of all ages.  If you are interested in meeting Biscuit, please fill out an online adoption application.
