Rocky Mountain Cocker Rescue

Cookie and Ginger

Ginger and Cookie are five year old white and copper sisters who love to be with each other.  They are an attractive pair with wonderful coloring and soft coats.  They enjoy playing indoors with their toys and romping in the yard.  They get along well with other dogs and with children.  These girls should adapt easily and quickly to their new home. 

These two came to us from southeast Missouri.  They are both spayed and up to date on their vaccinations.  RMCR will microchip both for a new owner.  These two girls are very closely bonded and have always been together.  Therefore, they will only be adopted as a pair. 

If you are interested in adopting this adorable pair, please make sure you’ve completed an online adoption application.

Sam

Oh, hi! I’m so excited you want to learn more about me. My name is Sam and I’m a young, happy boy with tons of love to give. You might wonder how a handsome, one-year old pup like myself ends up in rescue. Well, let me tell you my story. I was part of a wonderful family and had lots of kids to call my very own. Everyone loved me very much, but I am just a puppy and I didn’t understand that little kids couldn’t play like puppies can play. My family decided that they did not have the perfect forever home for me and wanted me to find a family who could give me everything I need.

What do I need, you ask? Great question! I need PLENTY of playtime and love. I want to spend lots of time wrestling, running, jumping, rolling and kissing! I also love to snuggle. I’m really good at snuggling. Please remember, I am still enjoying the glory days of my puppyhood and I must go home with a patient family that can lovingly help me become a shining canine citizen. I love to find treasures – socks, bottle caps, paper…. Everything is so fun! I need someone who can help me remember that my toys are for me and everything else is for you.

I probably shouldn’t live with young children quite yet, but if you have another dog that would be fantastic. And guess what? I love cats, too! Ready for the icing on the cake? I’ve had lots of obedience training and I know my doggy commands. I listen really well, too. I just want to make you happy. Want to know something really cool? I am bell trained. I ring a bell when I have to go potty so you can let me out. Don’t I sound like a dream? My foster parents don’t think I’ll be around long – they said I’m about as great as a dog can be. So you better hurry and fill out an application and set up a time to meet me! I’ll be waiting!

Sam is up to date on his vaccinations until February 2012 and is microchipped.  If you are interested in meeting him, please make sure you’ve completed an online adoption application.

Poncho

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

Meet Poncho!  Poncho is a two year old neutered black and white Cocker Spaniel that came to us from Arkansas.  He looks to be at least part English Cocker Spaniel, if not full blood.

Poncho is great with other dogs and children of all ages, and we assume he would be fine with cats.   He has a great personalty – he smiles and shows his front teeth and wiggles his little rump at the same time.  He rides well in the car and is fine on a lead, although he does tend to pull a bit.  He is up to date on all of his vaccinations and is heartworm and Lyme Disease negative.  RMCR will make sure that he is microchipped for his new family.

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

Buddy

Buddy is a stunning, purebred, male English Cocker Spaniel with a natural tail who is estimated to be 12-16 months old. His coat is solid black, silky and very shiny! This little guy loves to snuggle, give kisses and play! He is as sweet as they come, very easy going, but energetic like any normal juvenile. Buddy is still growing into his long, lean body, so we expect he will be around 28-30 pounds when he fills out. He is working on his house-training and is catching on fast. Buddy is also learning to stay in a crate; right now he whines a bit, but then settles down. 

Buddy will be great with a family with children and another playful dog to help him burn off his energy. He takes food gently from a human hand and has learned how to play gently with people. This adorable dog with an irresistable face was just neutered on Nov. 9, so he needs to go back to the vet just after Thanksgiving to get his rabies vaccination. He already has his DA2PP vaccination. We will microchip him for his new family, too. This beauty will have lots of applications for his adoption, so don’t wait to submit an online adoption application!

Sophia

Sophia is a seven year old cream colored female Cocker Spaniel that came to us as a stray from southern Colorado. 

Sophia is a bit of an alpha female.  She lives with other dogs and gets along well, but when she is initially introduced to other dogs, she needs to establish her place in the pack – which she feels should be top dog!  It seems intimidating to witness, but they are soon great pals.  We feel that she should be placed in a home without young children for this reason as well.

She is spayed, microchipped and up to date on all of her vaccinations.  Her teeth are worn, possibly due to chewing on a chain or a metal kennel, but RMCR is having them cleaned and any restorations deemed necessary.  She loves riding in the car and adores attention.  She would also do well as an only dog and would make a wonderful companion.

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

Muffin

Muffin was released when her owner moved into a senior living center that does not allow pets. This gentle four year old is a real cutie. She loves children, gets along well with other dogs and cats, and will follow you everywhere. Muffin loves to play outside or pass the time with her toys. She is house trained. She has a keen sense of hearing and even pays close attention to unusual sounds coming from the TV. She is used to spending time alone but enjoys being around people and loves to be the center of attention.

Muffin is up to date with all of her vaccinations. She is spayed and will be microchipped for you.  She is a mostly black and white tricolored pure bred Cocker Spaniel.

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

Chelsea

Chelsea is a senior female that is looking for a new home.  Although she is around eight years old, it’s hard to tell by looking at her.  She doesn’t have a speck of gray!  She’s active and very loving.

Chelsea is a small girl, only around 20-25 pounds.  She’s mostly black with a little brown here and there.  She is house trained and can be trusted off-leash, although we always recommend that dogs be on a lead in high traffic areas!  She does have a thyroid condition that requires her to have daily medication that is reasonably priced.  She is spayed and will be up to date on her vaccinations and microchipped for her new owners.  She is an owner surrender.  She is a darling girl that responds well to her name and knows basic commands.  She’s starved for love and hopes that you will be the one that will give it to her.

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

Max

Meet Max!  Max is a seven year old chocolate and tan male that came to us from a local shelter.  He was an owner surrender and is the sweetest guy you’ll ever meet!

Max is a bit larger than the typical Cocker Spaniel.  He has a coarser coat which was trimmed down while he was in the shelter.  The groomer stated that he was a joy to deal with and didn’t complain even when he went outside and got stickers in his foot and had to have them removed!  He is neutered,  house trained, microchipped and up to date on his vaccinations.  He has had obedience training and knows basic commands.  He can be timid at times and seems to be frightened of some moving objects.   He loves to go on walks, but can pull a bit and does lunge at other dogs while on walks.  He gets along well with other dogs and cats and we feel he would be fine around older children.  He doesn’t quite know what to think of babies.

Max bonds quickly with anyone that will show him affection.  He will make a wonderful addition to any home, but would do best in a home with a doggy door and someone to give him lots of attention.  If you are interested in meeting this love bug, please make sure you’ve filled out an online adoption application.

Brownie

Brownie has an application pending that will most likely turn into an adoption!

Hi – My name is Brownie. I had a really troubled life early on – I was rescued at four months old. My skin, ears and eye was so bad that I had to have immediate vet care. My eye was so bad that is had to be removed.

Now, after about six months, I am better than I have ever been. My foster parents went two weeks without even knowing I was without eye.

I am still a puppy with all the excitement and craziness that implies. I love to be around other dogs and have not shown any issues with kids. During adoption events, I haven’t had any issues with small children.  I haven’t met a cat yet!

I am a great dog with little issue with the missing eye. I need a strong family to keep me on the course I am on but will be s wonderful dog for someone.  I’m fully vetted, neutered, and microchipped and am waiting for you to take me home!

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