Celia, Dominique, Jasmine and Grant with Ian

Little Ian had been returned to the shelter twice – simply for being a puppy!  Some people just don’t understand the energy of a seven month old!  Celia saw him on our web site and knew he was the one for her family.  Here’s Celia, Dominique, Jasmine and Grant with Ian in his new home.  We hope they will be very happy together.  From the looks of it, they’re off to a good start.

Ian has an adoption application pending!

Ian is a healthy, beautiful black seven month old, neutered, purebred male Cocker Spaniel who is looking for a forever home. His coat is silky and shiny, and his eyes have a bright glow. He has a tiny white streak running down the front of his neck. Ian did not fit well into his prior home because it was said that he did not get along with other dogs and was nervous around children. However, in his foster home Ian is loving, sweet and gentle and gets along well with the other two dogs. He takes directions from the two year old male Alpha Cocker in the household and has even learned some manners from him. He plays well with the other two year old more subdued male Cocker and shows no apprehension, nervousness or aggression around children of all ages. He is friendly with strangers and adults. When hand feeding treats he takes them in his turn and with a soft mouth.

Ian is going to make that special family just the right companion. He is quiet, without excessive barking and is a very bright and happy little guy who loves attention, playing and cuddling. He will sit on command, corrects easily on leash, and is willing and ready to learn. He takes behavior corrections well. Ian loves being with his people, running around with soft toys in his mouth, playing fetch, and chewing on bones. He is housetrained and is used to sleeping in a crate in the bedroom at night, although he would love to sleep in bed with you, if you would allow it. He is used to free run of the house while the humans are home, and being crated for a few hours when they have to leave. He loves sitting on the window bench and watching the world go by or investigating things in the back yard. He would most likely be happiest in a home where he is not alone for long hours. He has gotten used to doggie companions while in foster care and would probably benefit from being adopted into a home with one other dog his size, and humans who are ready to receive all the love this little guy has to offer.

Ian is up to date on his vaccinations and RMCR will microchip him for you.

Ian has brought much joy and love to his foster family and is ready to do the same for his forever family. He is a bundle of love!

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

Micki has an adoption application pending!

Micki is approximately 2 years old. Micki is all black with the tiniest of white speckling on his legs and head. He is as sweet as you can imagine, he is a real Casanova with everyone he meets. He loves to be petted and thinks he is a big lap dog. Micki and gets along with other dogs (after an initial adjustment period) and he just loves older children. He has not been introduced to children under 10 or cats so his reaction to both is unsure at this time. He is neutered and up to date on his vaccinations and is micro chipped.

Micki came to Denver in November 2011 from Hiawatha, Kansas. He was matted quite badly, but after a bath and a groom he is a very handsome chap, so silky soft. He is not quite sure of the leash yet so he does have a tendency to pull and dart. Micki has learned about crating at night and figured out the dog door the first time he went through it. He is not an excessive barker and is very gentle when receiving treats. He is playful but still learning what a toy is.

He loves to run and investigate every little corner of the yard and can be outside for up to an hour at a time. Micki is highly alert to open doors and he has a tendency to try to escape. He would be very hard to catch if he not stopped or his behavior modified. We have recently learned that Micki likes to skooch under the frnce or try leaping it. Micki would do great with a companion about his age or a little older to help him learn the ropes and play with.  We have also recently found that Micki is food agressive, so we would urge his being fed away from other dogs. He also rides well in the car and loves watching the traffic lights.

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

Buddy is a stunning, purebred, male English Cocker Spaniel with a natural tail who is estimated to be 12-16 months old. His coat is solid black, silky and very shiny! This little guy loves to snuggle, give kisses and play! He is as sweet as they come, very easy going, but energetic like any normal juvenile. Buddy is still growing into his long, lean body, so we expect he will be around 28-30 pounds when he fills out. He is working on his house-training and is catching on fast. Buddy is also learning to stay in a crate; right now he whines a bit, but then settles down. 

Buddy will be great with a family with children and another playful dog to help him burn off his energy. He takes food gently from a human hand and has learned how to play gently with people. This adorable dog with an irresistable face was just neutered on Nov. 9, so he needs to go back to the vet just after Thanksgiving to get his rabies vaccination. He already has his DA2PP vaccination. We will microchip him for his new family, too. This beauty will have lots of applications for his adoption, so don’t wait to submit an online adoption application!

Molly is a seven year old solid black female that currently lives in New Mexico. She is an owner surrender and would like very much to retire to the beautiful mountains of Colorado! She tells us that in her perfect new home, she would be the “only” dog and that there would be no other distractions like kids or cats. She says that she’s very nervous about the other dogs in her current home trying to take her food and her toys, not to mention the attention that she wants from her owner! 

Molly is a sweet, submissive little girl. When she was younger, she had bladder stones and had to have surgery to remove them. Now she’s on a prescription diet to make sure this situation does not recur. Her owner says that she occasionally has accidents in the home, but when they go out of town and leave her with friends, she never soils their house, so they believe its the stress of her current home causing this behavior. She is spayed, and up to date on her vaccinations. She knows several commands such as sit, stay, come, and go to bed, which means go to her crate! She likes to go on walks, but gets excited and pulls a bit on the lead. 

If you are interested in giving Molly a new forever home, please make sure you’ve completed an online adoption application.

Puck has an adoption application pending!!

Hi there, my name is Puck. I’m so glad you want to learn more about me – hopefully you’ll like what you see! I came to Rocky Mountain Cocker Rescue from a shelter in Pueblo. My previous owner couldn’t keep me anymore because of issues with his landlord. I didn’t understand much of that – all I knew was I really liked my person and my house and then I wound up in a cage in a scary place. A shelter is no place for a 5 years young, handsome boy like me! Luckily, some nice people came and got me out and they’ve been taking really good care of me. I got a haircut, my teeth cleaned and I’ve even lost a little weight! I’m all ready to go home with my new forever family and love them so much they’ll wonder how they ever lived without me.

You are probably wondering if I would be a good fit in your home. My foster parents tell me I’m a pretty amazing and easy-going guy. I already love you and I haven’t even met you. I love your kids, I love your cats and I love your dogs – basically, I’m a lover! If you would like to let me lie in your lap all day and pet me, that would be fantastic. If you’re a little more active, that’s okay by me too! I really enjoy my walks and I do just fine on a leash. Playing outside with you in the yard is really fun too. Swimming is another favorite pastime of mine. I like to swim with ducks in the lake at the park. Don’t worry, I would never hurt them, I just think they’re pretty cool! I am always happy when I am with my people so I will fit into a loving family and their lifestyle with no problem! As you can see, I’m a pretty perfect little guy. I am playful, I am friendly, I am loving, I am Puck! Come meet me today!

Please make sure you’ve completed an online adoption application if you are interested in Puck.

DaVinic has an adoption application pending!

Hi, I am DaVinci. I am a black male Cocker Spaniel and I’m only around a year old.  Despite my heavy coat in these pictures, I am a very muscular boy. I’m getting a haircut soon!  I am, however, an absolute lover. I enjoy being with my people all the time and getting loving! I also get along well with other dogs and want to play with them all the time. I came in from Utah and am so happy to be back in a home with loving family. I have been neutered and am up to date on my shots. They even tell me they will chip me before I am adopted, whatever that means.

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

Zebie is a small six year old female Cocker Spaniel that came to us from Utah.  She weighs around 22 pounds.

Zebie is very shy, but is a total love.   She may have come from an abusive situation because she tends to cower a bit and tends to stay close to her kennel until she feels safe in her environment.  She would probably do best in a quiet home without young children or other energetic animals.  We ‘re told that she gets along with cats.  Her current foster home has a senior female Cocker Spaniel and they get along well.  She is house trained and kennel trained (she loves her kennel!)

Zebie is spayed, will be microchipped for her new owners and is up to date on all of her vaccinations. 

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

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!!
