Rocky Mountain Cocker Rescue

Sadie

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.

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

Puppies

UPDATE:  All of the female puppies have been taken.  If you are interested in one of the remaining males, please feel free to apply!

Here they are!  The six puppies that are still available for adoption.

Last month we took in Josie, a heartworm positive stray from Missouri who had just given birth to nine puppies.  Since she was a stray, we have no idea with what breed these puppies may be mixed, but they are Cocker mixes.  There are five males and one female left (previous applicants have already spoken for three of the puppies).  The vet tells us that there is almost no chance that they would have inherited heartworm from their mother and they will be put on heartworm preventative as soon as they are old enough to ensure their safety.

These kids will be ready to go at around ten weeks.  They will not yet be spayed and neutered.  Therefore anyone intereseted in adopting will have one of two options:  they may foster the dog until they reach the age at which they can be altered and RMCR will cover the cost of the surgery, or they may adopt and opt to pay a $300 security deposit IN ADDITION to the $300 adoption fee.  The deposit is fully refundable when proof of spay or neuter is received.

Their foster mom is working diligently to instill house training skills.  They are very active and a lot of fun.

If you are interested in one of these puppies, please make sure you have completed an online adoption form.  We expect the female to go quickly, and the others almost as fast.  We will have to honor the “first come, first served” system in this situation.

Little Guy

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.

Beatrice

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

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

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.

Lilly

Lilly is a three year old Cocker Spaniel mix.  She looks as if she may have some Golden Retriever genes going on.  She is slightly larger than your typical Cocker Spaniel and does have a full tail.

She was left behind, chained in the back yard, when her owners moved out of their house.  Good Samaritan neighbors took her in and fed her and called RMCR to see if we could help find her a new home.  They made sure she had a new groom before we moved her into foster care.  She is a super sweet girl, however she’s a little timid. She doesn’t quite know what’s going on yet.  She tends to shy away from attention until she gets to know you and she is especially timid around men.  She does, however, warm up in short time!

She seems to be house trained, is up to date on her vaccinations, and RMCR will make sure she’s microchipped.  She gets along well with other dogs, but we’re not sure about cats, but we feel that she would be fine.  She does well with older kids, however toddlers may be too active for her.

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

Toby’s Happy Tale Letter to RMCR

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!

Buddy

Howdy! My name is Buddy and I’m 7 years young with a soul of pure joy. I know what you’re thinking – “Oh geesh! Another dog named Buddy.” I know, I know. But if you met me, you’d understand. I’m just a good ol’ boy. If a man is humble and well thought of, he can be referred to as a “good old boy”, regardless of his age. That’s me! I’m loyal, loving, calm and definitely well thought of. I want nothing more in this life than to be your best friend.

So now you’re wondering, how does a seemingly perfect, mellow fellow like myself end up in rescue? It’s not a story I like to tell. I was a happy guy, spending my days in the lap of my former pop. We had quite a family with our dad, my brother dog, two cats and me. Well, my dad was elderly and his days were numbered. When he passed, the four of us were brought to a shelter. We were all lucky and were rescued by some really great places. They would like to have kept us together, but we were just happy to find safe places to go to mourn the loss of our lives as we knew them and discover all the things this world still has to offer us.

So I’m here in Denver now and I’m waiting for a family who has been searching for their perfect Buddy. I get along with all 4-legged creatures and am a very gentle boy. I’ll fit in with most lifestyles. I’m the best at being a lap dog, but don’t let that fool you. I love going on walks and runs and playing in the yard with my people. I know my basic commands and am an excellent listener – I only want to make you happy. I am also house-trained and do really well on a leash. I do have one requirement of my new family. It is really important that I be able to sleep with you. At the foot of the bed would be fine, as long as I have just a little room. I just want to make sure we are safe together. So what do you say? Are you ready for the best Buddy you ever had? Please fill out an application for me today – I’m so excited to meet my new family!

Buddy is a Cocker mix, neutered and up to date on all vaccinations.  He is also microchipped.  If you are interested in meeting Buddy, please make sure to complete an online adoption application.

Aspen

Aspen has a pending adoption application!  You can still apply with the understanding that she may not be available.

This little cutie’s name is Aspen.  She’s a Cockapoo and is around four and a half years old and weighs around 20 pounds.  She is an owner surrender due to the fact that there have been changes in family dynamics and she’s not getting the attention she deserves. 

 Her owner thinks she would be best with a couple or single person who can devote their undivided love and time to her.  She is a sweet gentle dog, in excellent health, is house trained, crate trained, has lots of energy, loves walks, and is good with other dogs and children.  She is very social, wags her tail constantly, does well at the kennel and loves to ride in car.  She is spayed, and up to date on her vaccinations until March of 2012.  She is quite athletic and loves to run in the back yard. 

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