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 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 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 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.

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.

- Shannon and Pixie
Shannon shared the following with us about finding Pixie:
I’ve known for years that I was interested in adopting a rescue dog and was looking forward to adopting early next year. However, while perusing rescue sites, I came across Pixie. She sounded too good to be true. I immediately had a strong feeling about her and knew that I would be making a huge mistake to pass her up. I figured that I would send in my application and hope that I had the opportunity to take this beautiful dog home. From the moment I met Pixie, I knew that she was meant to join my family. We bonded almos immediately and have been inseparable since. She has the playful personality of a puppy; ready to greet you with snuggles and kisses when you walk through the door. She also kows how to lounge and relax after a long day at the park. We are perfectly compatible. Thank you so much!!! She’s such a joy!

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 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!

Molly is a seven year old solid black female that currently lives in New Mexico. She is an owner surrender and would like very much to retire to the beautiful mountains of Colorado! She tells us that in her perfect new home, she would be the “only” dog and that there would be no other distractions like kids or cats. She says that she’s very nervous about the other dogs in her current home trying to take her food and her toys, not to mention the attention that she wants from her owner!
Molly is a sweet, submissive little girl. When she was younger, she had bladder stones and had to have surgery to remove them. Now she’s on a prescription diet to make sure this situation does not recur. Her owner says that she occasionally has accidents in the home, but when they go out of town and leave her with friends, she never soils their house, so they believe its the stress of her current home causing this behavior. She is spayed, and up to date on her vaccinations. She knows several commands such as sit, stay, come, and go to bed, which means go to her crate! She likes to go on walks, but gets excited and pulls a bit on the lead.
If you are interested in giving Molly a new forever home, please make sure you’ve completed an online adoption application.

Puck has an adoption application pending!!
Hi there, my name is Puck. I’m so glad you want to learn more about me – hopefully you’ll like what you see! I came to Rocky Mountain Cocker Rescue from a shelter in Pueblo. My previous owner couldn’t keep me anymore because of issues with his landlord. I didn’t understand much of that – all I knew was I really liked my person and my house and then I wound up in a cage in a scary place. A shelter is no place for a 5 years young, handsome boy like me! Luckily, some nice people came and got me out and they’ve been taking really good care of me. I got a haircut, my teeth cleaned and I’ve even lost a little weight! I’m all ready to go home with my new forever family and love them so much they’ll wonder how they ever lived without me.
You are probably wondering if I would be a good fit in your home. My foster parents tell me I’m a pretty amazing and easy-going guy. I already love you and I haven’t even met you. I love your kids, I love your cats and I love your dogs – basically, I’m a lover! If you would like to let me lie in your lap all day and pet me, that would be fantastic. If you’re a little more active, that’s okay by me too! I really enjoy my walks and I do just fine on a leash. Playing outside with you in the yard is really fun too. Swimming is another favorite pastime of mine. I like to swim with ducks in the lake at the park. Don’t worry, I would never hurt them, I just think they’re pretty cool! I am always happy when I am with my people so I will fit into a loving family and their lifestyle with no problem! As you can see, I’m a pretty perfect little guy. I am playful, I am friendly, I am loving, I am Puck! Come meet me today!
Please make sure you’ve completed an online adoption application if you are interested in Puck.
