Boots is a young Cocker mix – possiblya Cockapoo. He’s black with white markings.
His foster mom says he cuts a rakish figure with his spats and crooked grin. After the excitement wore down when he first got to her home, the other dogs decided to take a nap on the sofa. Boots sat in the middle of the room and looked at each of them, walked over to each one and looked them in the face before giving a play bow and tried to get them excited. When no one stirred, he bounced out of the room through the kitchen to the back yard then out the pet door to find maybe some opportunities there. He is a determined lap sitter but he’ll squeeze between the back of the chair and your back if you already have an occupied lap. He is learning “Come” and potties outdoors but he needs help with “Stay’. He is sure that that is for dogs that are less imaginative than him.
Boots is around 25 pounds and has a curly tail and infectious humor. He loves everybody. H’e’s neutered, up to date on vaccinations and micro-chipped. He settles into a crate after a few minutes, but prefers to be free!

Allen and Elaine with Benji
When we first saw little Benji as his previous owner relinquished him due to her allergies we knew that he would not be in foster care for long. Cockapoos in general are very popular dogs, let alone a 14 month old cutie like this one. Allen and Elaine took no time at all in deciding that Benji belonged with them. Likewise, Benji made himself right at home by wandering into their bathroom and grabbing the toilet paper off the roll. Manners aside, he won their hearts immediately and now has a wonderful country home and parents who are home much of the time.

Princess with Janet and Helen
Helen and her children have had dogs nearly all their lives, so they know a good dog when she walks through the door! When Princess, who was found as a stray in another state, walked in Helen’s front door and immediately came over to Helen to sit by her side, it was clear that this adoption was meant to be. Helen and her daughter, Janet, just rave about how quickly and easily Princess settled into her new home as if she knew she belonged there from the start. Princess has bonded with Helen and stays by her side day and night, watching over her and snuggling with her just as a beloved Cocker should!

Sophie has an adoption application pending!!
Sophie is a beautiful sweet white female Cockapoo. Most dogs think they’re lap dogs: Sophie is pretty sure she’s either a parrot or a headrest! Her favorite spot is on top of the back of the sofa where she can snuggle against your head and give you the occasional little kiss. Sophie is fully house trained and a very loving little girl. She gets along with the other dogs, does great in a car, and walks well on a leash. She comes when called and knows: sit, off, lie down, shake hands, and cookie. Sophie is two and one-half years old, spayed, and has all her shots. This little lover will find a forever home very quickly.
Sophie needs a home with older children. She mistakes toddlers as competition and exhibits resource guarding around them. She growls when they come too close to her toys and food. She was very tolerant with older children at a recent adoption event. We also do not know how she reacts to cats, so a cat-free home is recommended.
If you are interested in meeting Sophie, please complete an online adoption application.

Barcelona has an adoption application pending!!
Barcelona (we call him Bart for short) is a lively Cocker mix –we think he might have a little Australian Cattle Dog in him based on his coloring and coat texture.
His story is one of the reasons we do rescue: he was seen being thrown from a moving car in Missouri! Despite that, he seems to be in great health and not traumatized at all. He is very affectionate, sweet and friendly. Bart knows about chasing balls, comes when called, and knows sit, down, and cookie. This little cutie is fully house-trained and gets along well with the other dogs, rides great in the car and only tugs a little on a leash–we’re working on that. Bart did great with children at a recent adoption event. This three year old little boy has been neutered and has all his shots. We’re not sure how he is around cats, so a cat-free home would be a good suggestion.
If you are interested in meeting Bart, please complete an online adoption application.

They tell me that my mama was a Cocker Spaniel, but nobody knows who my daddy is… I am black and white with my natural tail. My foster mom tells me I’m very special, and very smart. I’m already on a fast start to being completely house trained! I love snuggle on the couch and watch TV with my foster family, and I love to play with kids.

Princess, we have to admit, doesn’t look much like a Cocker Spaniel, but she’s a wonderful dog anyway! She has a swishy tail, floppy ears, and a beautiful long brown and black coat. Princess is a seven year old spayed female. She is very friendly and loves to sleep on laps and beds. She is crate trained and completely house trained. Princess gets along very well with cats and has had full run of her foster home since the first day. She loves balls and squeaky toys. Princess is a very affectionate and lively little girl who knows sit, come, down, off, and (of course!) cookie. She has sometimes shown some guarding behavior toward other dogs, but gets along well with those in her foster home. Princess is micro-chipped and is up to date on all of her vaccinations.
If you are interested in meeting Princess, please complete one of our online adoption applications.

Molly is a courtesy cross-post. For information about her, please call Norma at (970) 580-3750.
Molly is a 2-1/2 year old female Cocker Spaniel mix. We don’t know her full pedigree, but she’s awfully cute.
Molly was surrendered by her owners for unknown reasons. She is spayed and weighs between 30-35 pounds. She is house trained and crate trained. She loves to romp and play with other dogs. She enjoys walks and has not lunged or barked at other dogs while on the lead.
Molly is bit shy at first, but warms up quickly. She’s hoping to find a forever home with loving parents and other dog friends. Unfortunately we do not know how she would react to young children or cats, so perhaps a cat-free home with older children might be best, however we would be happy to introduce Molly to any family to see how she reacts.
Molly is up to date on her vaccinations.

Bob, Pat and Lexi
Lexi got her Christmas present a week early in the form of her new parents Bob and Pat! Lexi came to us from Nebraska where she was found as a stray so badly matted that the shelter didn’t know her breed until they shaved her down. Underneath all that fur was a sweet, gentle Cocker/Schnauzer mix. Bob and Pat were looking for a Cocker/Terrier mix when along came Lexi, so their Christmas wish was fulfilled as well. It was definitely love at first sight for everyone. Lexi will spend her life pampered and loved by her new family and, in return, giving them her unconditional love.

Bonnie is probably a Cocker Spaniel/Golden Retriever mix and she seems to be just perfect! She’s been recently spayed and has all her shots. Bonnie’s friendly, affectionate, playful, house-trained, crate-trained, gets along great with the other dogs, and is very pretty. We’re guessing her age at maybe three or so. She walks well on a leash and knows sit, down, ball, cookie, and fetch. (Boy, does she know fetch!) She seems to be fine with cats and kids, although she still gets excited and wants to jump up, so we’d prefer not to adopt her to a home with small toddlers.
Bonnie came to us from Kansas where she was picked up as a stray. She was in a high-kill shelter and we were able to save her just in time. Wouldn’t you like to provide her with a forever home?
If you are interested in meeting Bonnie, please complete our online adoption application.
