We agree that Goodfellow is an odd name for a dog!  That’s why his foster parents call him Henry.  When you adopt him, you can call him whatever you want, but we’ll keep Goodfellow on the paperwork until he gets to your house!

He is around two years old and has a full tail.  He came to us from Salt Lake City where he’d ended up in a local animal shelter.  He has a beautiful shiny black coat and gorgeous white teeth.  You have to see him to appreciate his beauty – photos of black dogs do not always do them justice and that’s the case here!  He came to us with two cherry eyes which have been repaired.  His foster mom is working to house train him and he’s doing well but will probably require continued reinforcement.  He’s an active little boy that likes to go for walks and rides in the car.  He gets along well with other dogs and children, but we don’t know about cats.  He’s up to date on vaccinations, neutered and microchipped.

Anna and Alidza are a bonded pair of female Cocker Spaniel sisters that are looking for a new home.  They are Independence Day babies having been born on the 4th of July, 2005.

They are owner surrenders.  Their mom is remarrying and her husband-to-be is allergic to dogs.  Anna is the buff colored female and Alidza is the black one.  They are both house trained and social with other dogs and cats.  They are both up to date on vaccinations and are spayed.  They have been exposed to small children and have done fine.  These girls would make a wonderful addition to any home.

Hi, I’m Beatrice, a shiny black Cockapoo with a thin white stripe down my chest and a little white under my chin. I’m supposed to be 9 years old; however, my foster parents think I’m more like 5 years old due to my playful nature and energy level. I prance and dance and wiggle my little tail a lot when I’m happy. I seek out petting and loving from my people. I’m a little shy around strangers, but once I get to know you I’ll follow you everywhere. I sleep in an open crate at night (no need to lock me in) and when my people are not around. They trust me not to make a mess when they are out. I’m a quiet girl who is housetrained and I get along well other other dogs. My previous owners had a noisy, busy household that was a little overwhelming for me. I would prefer a quieter home without young children.

 I had my teeth cleaned recently and I’m microchipped and fully vaccinated.

Oliver is an adult male Cocker Spaniel mix of unknown age that is looking for a new home.  His current owner is member of our military and is preparing to deploy.  He was adopted from the Adams County Animal Shelter only around a year ago. 

Oliver is larger than most Cocker Spaniels, weighing in at a cool 50 pounds.  He has displayed aggressive behavior with the other dogs in the family home, so he would do best as an only pet.  He is protective of his food, so we will not adopt him to families with toddlers and we’re not sure about his behavior around cats.  He is neutered, house trained, and up to date on his rabies vaccination until June of this year.  RMCR will cover vaccinations for potential adopters and will ensure that he is microchipped.

He does well with adults, following his male owner around the house.  He can be trusted to be left alone indoors without threat of destruction.  He would really love to have a quiet home with someone that will play ball with him.  If you would be willing to give Oliver a chance at a forever home, we’d love to introduce you to him.

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

Kula and Marley are bonded Cockapoos that are looking for a new home.  The kids have grown up and have moved out and the owner is working a lot of hours, so these two are being left alone for longer than she would like.  Also, financial issues are making it hard to keep them.

Kula is a seven year old male black Cockapoo.  Marley is a six year old female black merle Cockapoo.  They would need to be adopted together as they have never been separated.  These two are both house trained.  Both dogs are crate trained but Kula hates to be crated and is usually allowed to roam free within the home with no incidents.  Both enjoy human companionship and enjoy going on walks.  They are both altered and are up to date on their vaccinations until 2013.  They know several trick, including how to shake.  Marley also knows how to give a high-five and understands “wait”.

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

Pepper is an eight year old black and white female Cocker Spaniel that was found on the side of the road in Logan County.  No one ever claimed her and the shelter felt she’d have a better chance of finding a good home if she were in rescue.

Pepper has a cherry eye that needed to be fixed, but she went into heat just about the time she arrived at her foster home.  The vet felt it would be best to let her run her cycle and then perform surgery on her eye and to spay her at the same time.  She is up to date on her vaccinations and will soon be ready for her new home.  RMCR will microchip her as well.

Pepper seems to be house trained and gets along with her Cocker companion in her foster home.  We’re not sure about cats!  Her foster mom says that she has completely adjusted to life in her home and is very loving and obedient.  She is very mild mannered, so she should be fine with children as well.

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!

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!
