Rocky Mountain Cocker Rescue

Blackie

Blackie is approximately nine years old and is looking for a new home.  Her mom has to relocate and will be traveling with the relocation, so she felt it best to find Blackie a new home where she can be treated like a princess!  She is a little overweigh, but she gets along with kids and other dogs, so a home with more activity would help her get back into shape.  We’re not sure about cats.  She is house trained and can be trusted to be left free inside unattended.  She’s up to date on her vaccines (rabies vaccine is due in September).   We’re not sure if she is microchipped, but we can take care of that upon adoption. 

Nine years might seem fairly old, however Cockers typically live 15-16 years , so she still has a long life ahead of her.  She deserves the chance to live her golden years being spoiled! 

If you think you’re the one to receive the love of this wonderful girl, please make sure you have completed one of our online adoption applications.  Her mom has to move on July 10th, so don’t wait!

Missy

Meet Missy!  We believe Missy is a Cocker/Lhasa Apso mix, but don’t know for certain. Missy is an owner surrender who estimated her age at 8, but based on her teeth and very playful demeanor, we think she is closer to 5.  Since we can’t say for sure how old she is or what she is, we are setting Missy’s adoption fee at only $150.00.  Despite her uncertain pedigree, Missy is a good little dog.  She arrived in the Rescue an untrusting, scared, defensive creature who knew life only as a too-small crate in the basement.  Today, Missy is a happy, playful, and trusting little girl who continues to make improvements every day.  She LOVES toys, squeaking and chewing and chasing anything she is given.  But she knows what is hers and doesn’t bother anything else in the house.  She is house trained (no doggie door!) and is fine left loose in the house during the day. She sleeps on her dog bed at night.  She loves to go for walks, and prances along nicely on a leash, her feathery tail held high. She adores being outside—rolling in the grass, catching bubbles in the pond fountain and laying in the sunshine.  She gets along well with her foster Cocker brother.  Missy takes a treat very nicely from your hand, but does guard her food when eating.  She knows sit, and is starting to realize she won’t be hurt when told to come.  She is no longer terrified of being held and is happy to be near her people.  Missy had her ears and teeth cleaned under anesthesia, and has had her shots.  We would like to adopt Missy to a home without small children, and to someone who will not crate her.  Missy is becoming an even better dog every day with a bit of training and attention.  We hope you can help Missy reach her full potential in her forever home!

Chloe

Hi! My name is Chloe and I am your newest best friend. I think mornings are the best and I will greet you with a smile. My whole body wiggles with excitement, and all four feet dance. But first, please take me out. I am house broken and if it’s time, I’ll scratch at the door to let you know I need out! I am so affectionate and love to be with you. Once you gaze into my big, brown, loving, and adoring eyes, your heart will melt. I love being petted and playing with toys as long as I can be near you. I get along with my foster parent’s dog and I’m interested in meeting other dogs, but I will growl if I feel insecure. I love to chase rabbits, squirrels and geese, but I haven’t met a cat yet, and I don’t know how I would act around small children. My foster parents will not let me on the furniture or bed, but I am confident that if you give me a nano-second, I’ll quickly adapt to the furniture. I am a wonderful companion and would love to help fill your days with cheer.

Chloe is three years old, spayed, up-to-date on her vaccinations, and will be micro-chipped prior to adoption. If you are interested in meeting her, please complete an online adoption application.

Chico

This is Chico and he came to us all the way from Alamagordo NM.  He is around two years old and is as sweet as he can be.  He came to us a matted mess, however, we’ve included a “before” photograph so that you can see what he looks like when his coat grows out.  He was a little cross when getting his coat shaved down, mostly because the mats were so close to the skin.  We doubt he’d ever been groomed before.  He looks a little scrawny without any fur, but he’s just a joy!

Chico’s favorite thing in the world is to stand on his back legs, propped against you, and getting his sides scratched!  He has beautiful white teeth and is so happy to be in Colorado.  He does fairly well on the lead.  He is neutered and up to date on his vaccinations.  RMCR will make sure he is micro-chipped before he is adopted.  He loves to give puppy kisses.  He gets along with other dogs and would do best in a home with older children.  He’s fine around cats and will even play chase with the feisty ones!

Maddie

Meet Maddie!! She is a super sweet 5 year old black owner surrender. Maddie is housetrained and knows what “go potty” means. She sleeps in her crate at night and is fine left alone in the house during the day. This little girl has shown no food or toy aggression, she loves all toys and treats. She is gentle and tolerant of people of all ages. She does not dig or chew. She knows “get down” and sit, and is trying to learn lay down. She rides very well in the car and walks nicely on a leash. She does well with dogs her own size, but bigger dogs are still scary, and she does occasionally have some leash aggression. She was kept outside by herself by her former owners and so is new to socialization. She loves being outside but also loves to cuddle and snooze on the couch with her people. She is very food motivated and learns quickly with a treat reward. Maddie is about 28 lbs, and may actually be a cockapoo (she has large feet and her ungroomed coat is very thick with big soft curls, and she sheds less than her cocker foster brother!). Maddie is just as sweet and loving as she can be and will make a wonderful addition to any forever family.

Booker T

Booker T is a wonderful 2-3 year old black make Cocker Spaniel who came to us from Julesburg.  He’s such a friendly lad!   He’s fairly laid-back, is house trained, and does fairly well on a lead.  He is not currently crated.  Booker is neutered, up to date on his vaccinations and is micro-chipped.  He gets along with other dogs, cats and kids.  He would be a great fit for any family.

This little guy is a wonderful dog and will probably attract lots of attention, so if you are interested in meeting him, please complete an online adoption application.

Foxy

Foxy is a one and one-half to two year old black female that came to us from Las Vega NM.  Her owners surrendered her and her puppy, Cupcake, to the shelter there because they had more dogs than allowed by the county.  Foxy is a sweetheart that is house trained.  She is being spayed as we post this, is micro-chipped, and is up to date on all of her vaccinations.  We believe that she would be a wonderful addition to any family.

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

Coco

From Coco’s foster mom:

“CoCo Chanel”

This gorgeous female cocker is very qualified to be named after the elegant French fashion designer;  she is a beautiful lady in every way. She is SOLID black and very young – she was born 3/10/2009. Coco is VERY playful and is a dog that needs an owner who will walk her every day if possible – if you are looking for a jogging partner she’s up for it!  She gets along well with my two female cockers aged 4 1/2 and 19 (yes really); the 19 year old is dominant and CoCo was instantly submissive to her . She has a VERY gentle demeanor;  I can’t stress this enough. She even takes a dog treat in a dainty slow fashion! She gives kisses and will obviously be devoted to her lucky owner. I have no kids but I believe she would get along well with them .  As you can see by the duck photo she LOVES to play with toys and will fetch them back to you! She knows sit, stay and even heel commands and when I walk she is right behind on my side in a “calm-submissive” type of attitude. However, she LOVES to run if she can as I said. She is pretty smart and I do hope her future owner likes her name as she answers to it immediately.  Her ONLY drawback that I have found is she wants to jump up on couches. We are trying to make her stop this. Also she is fully housebroken and NOT a “submissive piddler” All in all a companion for a lifetime and just a great dog.

Coco is spayed, micro-chipped and up to date on vaccinations.

Buddy

Buddy is a five year old Cocker Spaniel mix (maybe Poodle if his face is any indicator)  that came to us from one of the Denver shelters.  He was an owner surrender.  The owner inherited Buddy from his father, but didn’t feel as if he could give him the attention that he deserves.
Buddy is a long-legged and big hearted Cocker Spaniel.    He is a gentle and loving dog that will blend with your family immediately.  He gets along fine with other animals and enjoys children.  He loves to romp in the yard and fetch balls and Frisbees.  While he is at a perfect weight now, Buddy has had weight problems in the past and needs a healthy diet and plenty of exercise.  He is house broken and spends much of his time indoors.  Buddy enjoys the short cut of his recent grooming but his fur will grow out into a beautiful mane covered with curls.  Buddy is neutered, up-to-date on his vaccinations and is microchipped, so all he needs if someone to love him for the rest of his life. 

 If you’re that person, please complete an online adoption application.

Baxter

Baxter is a darling five year old solid black mix breed.  We think he may be a mix of Cocker Spaniel and Pekingese. He is loyal and loving and came housetrained and willing to play. His favorite toy is a 16 inch rubber ball with 2 braided cords of rope that he can swing around and chase — by himself!!! For a little dog of no more than 15 pounds, he is a brave companion who rarely barks.

Baxter 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 Baxter, please fill out an online adoption application.
