Rocky Mountain Cocker Rescue

Oreo

Oreo is around eight and a half years old and is a Cockapoo. She is looking for a new home. As she has aged, she’s become less tolerant of the kids in the home and has snapped at them. She’s hoping that her new home will be a comfortable place to relax and enjoy! She currently lives with a cat and says that’s OK – they are best friends! She should not go to a home with young children.

Oreo is black with a white chest and chin and is slightly more Poodle than Cocker. She’s spayed, house trained and crate trained although she doesn’t really care for the kennel. She has had obedience training and knows several commands as well as how to shake and roll over. RMCR will ensure that she is up to date on her vaccinations and that she is microchipped.

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

Buddy

Buddy has multiple applications pending which will most likely result in an adoption!

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.

Bear

Bear is a three and one-half year old male Cockapoo.  He’s looking for a new home with a more quiet environment.  He would do best in a home without children, or at least with children over the age of twelve.

Bear likes to help “parent” the children when they are misbehaving and tries to nip at them.  The owners are concerned that he might eventually bite one of them.  Most of the time, he is very loving and wants to cuddle with them, but it seems as if he gets a little over excited when they they do!  Bear is an indoor dog who is house trained, crate trained but loves to go on walks and to go camping with the family.  He goes to the dog park and gets along well with the other dogs there.  He’s lived with a cat and it worked out well!  Bear is neutered and up to date on his vaccinations.

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

Ginger

Ginger is a sweet, lovey-dovey little 10 year old Cockapoo who loves sitting by your side or snoozing next to you in bed.  She loves to investigate under things and she is cuddly soft and doesn’t seem to shed any.

Ginger was an owner surrender to a local shelter due to traveling issues. Her previous owner loved her but was unable to continue caring for Ginger. She is a very sweet, gentle girl, she is house trained, somewhat crate trained but doesn’t like it.

She does well on a leash when it is accompanied by a harness.  Ginger is a bit over weight, but her foster Mom is working on that with weight management food and short walks. She appears to have no other health or vision issues.  She is a soft puffy white with buff markings around her tummy. She would be the perfect addition to a laid back family. Ginger has spent a few night sleeping with an 11 yr old so she is fine with older children, younger children are we are unsure of as yet.  She does very well with other dogs, unless they go after her food, then she gets sassy. She has a sensitive tummy so she should not be fed-on-demand.  Ginger is definitely an indoor dog. She is micro-chipped and current on all  immunizations.

Think about this little lady as a forever addition to your family.  If you are interested in Ginger, please fill out an online adoption application.

ADOPTION PENDING

Pixie’s Happy Tale

Tonic’s Happy Tale

Today truly was a lucky day for a little boy named Tonic.  Dumped at a shelter with his brother and sister at barely eight weeks of age, his future could have been very grim.  Instead, he came to Denver.  His sister caught the eye of Becca, but it was Tonic who would go home with them in the end.  Wrapped in loving arms, their vehicle filled with everything he would need to grow up happy and loved, including the perfect little brown collar and lead, they took off to start their new lives together.  Before leaving, however, they allowed us to capture the moment that will remain in our hearts for a long time to come.  Have a good life, Tonic!  And blessings be upon John and Becca!  Because of you, Tonic is one lucky boy!

Cockapoo Puppies

These darling 10 week old Cockapoo puppies are looking for a new home

The small one in the middle is a female and is named Gin.  The two on either side are males and are named Tonic and Boo.  All three have had their vaccinations.

These cuties were surrendered to a Colorado shelter because the owner had too many dogs and was unable to place them on his own.  Of course, they will need your care and patience to provide house- and obedience training as they mature.  At this age, they would adjust to any home and age group and should be able to socialize well with other dogs and cats.

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

Missy’s Happy Tale

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!!

Toby

Toby is a three and one-half year old Cocker Spaniel/Cavalier King Charles mix who is being surrendered by his owner.  They have a seven-month old child that is becoming more mobile and Toby is a bit jealous, although he gets along well with the older children and another dog in the house.  Toby is neutered, is house trained (although he has a rare occasional accident in the house) and is up to date on his vaccinations (due February 2012). 

Toby knows basic commands, knows how to use his doggy door, is very playful and loves his squeaky balls and his bones.  He would be a wonderful addition to a home with older kids and other dogs.  We’re not sure about cats.  Toby has small siezures that have been diagnosed as not serious during which he seems to be snapping at flies.  These seizures are not harmful to him or anyone else, however a potential adopter would want to share this information with their vet so that it can be watched in the future.

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