Rocky Mountain Cocker Rescue

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.

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.

Clarence

Clarence is a 5-6 year old Cocker Spaniel mix, most likely with a Springer Spaniel.  He is an owner surrender.

Clarence was adopted from the Denver Dumb Friends League and has been with his current family for around five years.  He was uncomfortable around men, but has been treated with Prozac and has been doing well.  Although he has been around small children with no incident, he recently snapped at the owner’s nine-month-old child.  Although he has never bitten anyone, they are concerned that he will bite the child and feel it best to find a new home for him.   He knows how to shake, give a high-five, and jump through a hoop!  He loves to follow his owners around, even the dog-sitters.

Clarence seems to be willing to please, but perhaps had some trauma in his earlier life.  He would do best in a home with experienced owners with no children.   

Clarence is up to date on his vaccines.  In addition to his Reconcile (Prozac for canines), he also take an inexpensive medicine for hypothyroidism on a daily basis.  He is neutered, crate trained, has had professional training and enjoys going on walks.  He is house trained and can be trusted to be left alone indoors for extended periods of time. 

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

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!

Callie

Hi,

My name is Callie and I’m a 9 month old buff female Cocker Spaniel/Cavalier King Charles mix.

Since I’m just a pup, I’m still learning some things, but I’m a very fast learner! I am still working on being housebroken, but I am pretty good at waiting until I get outside to do those kinds of things! With some more practice, I will have that down too! I do like to chew on things, but if you give me some toys that I can play with, I will happily chew on those. I do really well walking on a lead  and I’m okay when I have to spend some time in my crate too.

I love getting attention – I follow my foster mom all around and love it when she pets me! My favorite spot  is right behind my ears. Pet me there and I am a very happy girl! I may be a little shy when I first meet you, but as soon as I learn that you are going to give me love, I will give you all the love I can!

I have been for a long walk at a dog park and I did really well with some dogs who were a little smaller than me; they said they were pugs and they were  fun to play with!  So, I will be ok with dogs about my size once I get to know them. I’m not so sure about big dogs though. There were some at the dog park and they made me feel a bit nervous. I’m not sure about kids and cats either; but I haven’t met either of them yet.

I can’t wait to find my forever home to get and give LOTS of love! If you’re interested in meeting me, please fill out an application.

Oh – I am up to date on my vaccinations and will be spayed and micro-chipped before I am adopted!
