Rocky Mountain Cocker Rescue

Chrysy

Chrysy (short for Chrysanthemum) is almost eight years old and is finding herself looking for a new home. Her owner, who has had her since she was a puppy, has had to move into senior housing. The transition from a house with a big yard to a small apartment has been difficult on Chrysy. She’s black and white and weighs around 30 pounds.

Chrysy is spayed and fully vetted. She had a lumpectomy about five years ago, but has not had a recurrence. She is crate trained and leash trained. She’s initially wary of other dogs, but warms up quickly. She enjoys attention from humans and prefers to be close by, sometimes even resting her head on her owner’s feet. She loves playing with her stuffed toys, especially when someone with thrown them so that she can retrieve. She is a very gentle play pal.

Chrysy sounds like the perfect dog for a quiet home, preferably without young children. Chrysy’s temporary home before coming to us had 2 cats and she did very well with them, if anything, they teased her. She is a very sweet lady and would love to be your lap warmer. She is also adept at managing a dog door as well and barks very little.

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

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.

Chloe

Chloe has a pending adoption application.  You can still apply with the understanding that she may not be available.

Announcing, Chloe, 4 yr old tri color from KS. Chloe is about 22-24 lbs and very fit.
She is very shy and timid, being a mill mama kept her secluded from all that is a puppy and dog.
She knows very few commands as yet, but we are working on that.
She is learning what toys are, treats and playing. We are working on her people skills as she is quite nervous around them.
She does not seem to be a barker as originally thought nor a piddler.
She does very well with other dogs, shows no agressions,  is house and crate trained. We do not know at this time of her disposition around cats. She is working on leash training and is still wary of leashes.

Chloe is doing well getting a bit more socialized, but has quite a way to go.
She has finally got the hang of the electronic dog door and she is now eating all of her food and drinking plenty of water.
She is still very spooked with people moving around but is trying to come closer each time her foster Mom sits still and calls her name.
She finally accepting treats from hand. And her lil’wiggle tail does go prety fast when her and her foster sister “play”. She is not sure of the toys other than she likes herding them all into one room for safe keeping!!

She is a quiet, sweet and very timid little girl who needs time and patience with her to learn what life can be like.
She will be an Amazing family member for some lucky family one day soon.
Oh and did we mention, she is beautiful!!
All immunizations are up to date and she is micro-chipped.

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.

May

May has an adoption application pending!

Meet May!  In the couple weeks she has been in foster care, this two-to-three year old has seemed to adjust pretty quickly. She is very sweet and eager to please her people. She gets along well with other dogs and she doesn’t seem to care about cats once she knows they are part of the house. She is very attentive and responds to every sound in the house but will settle down when the house is calm. She is not a big barker but will let out a yap if she hears something out of the ordinary in the middle of the night. She is somewhat crate trained, meaning she will not go in on command but she will go in and stay in with very little protest. At night she sleeps with another dog in a confined area, and only whines a little at first and then quiets down until morning.

She seems to be house trained but her people need to pay attention to her actions when she is wanting to go out or she will have an accident near the door. May walks well on a leash so long as you don’t give her too much lead. She will walk beside you only pulling a bit when she smells something interesting. She seems to have a healthy appetite but it seems she was spoiled previously with people food.  She doesn’t like to eat dry food by itself, so her fosters have had to mix in wet food in order for her to eat which has worked quite well. She is starting to learn commands but is definitely determined to find her own way of doing things. We have not seen her around children, so a home without toddlers is probably best. Overall she is a good dog that needs a good home with strong pack leaders and she will be happy.

May is spayed and up to date on her vaccinations.  She will be microchipped for her new owner.  She’s quite small at only around 20 pounds or so.

Ian

Ian has an adoption application pending!

Ian is a healthy, beautiful black seven month old, neutered, purebred male Cocker Spaniel who is looking for a forever home. His coat is silky and shiny, and his eyes have a bright glow. He has a tiny white streak running down the front of his neck. Ian did not fit well into his prior home because it was said that he did not get along with other dogs and was nervous around children. However, in his foster home Ian is loving, sweet and gentle and gets along well with the other two dogs. He takes directions from the two year old male Alpha Cocker in the household and has even learned some manners from him. He plays well with the other two year old more subdued male Cocker and shows no apprehension, nervousness or aggression around children of all ages. He is friendly with strangers and adults. When hand feeding treats he takes them in his turn and with a soft mouth.

Ian is going to make that special family just the right companion. He is quiet, without excessive barking and is a very bright and happy little guy who loves attention, playing and cuddling. He will sit on command, corrects easily on leash, and is willing and ready to learn. He takes behavior corrections well. Ian loves being with his people, running around with soft toys in his mouth, playing fetch, and chewing on bones. He is housetrained and is used to sleeping in a crate in the bedroom at night, although he would love to sleep in bed with you, if you would allow it. He is used to free run of the house while the humans are home, and being crated for a few hours when they have to leave. He loves sitting on the window bench and watching the world go by or investigating things in the back yard. He would most likely be happiest in a home where he is not alone for long hours. He has gotten used to doggie companions while in foster care and would probably benefit from being adopted into a home with one other dog his size, and humans who are ready to receive all the love this little guy has to offer.

Ian is up to date on his vaccinations and RMCR will microchip him for you.

Ian has brought much joy and love to his foster family and is ready to do the same for his forever family. He is a bundle of love!

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

Husker

Husker is a delightful three year old neutered male that came to us from Wyoming.  He was an owner surrender due to health issues of his previous owner.  He is a black and white merle with two different colored eyes.  He’s a bit larger than your typical Cocker Spaniel, weighing around 45 pounds.

Husker is a little timid around men but seems to be very comfortable around women.  He does warm up to men with time.  He would probably do best in a home older children.  He can be a little leash aggressive so care should be taken on walks.  We’re not sure how he would react to cats.  He seems to be completely house trained, is crate trained and loves to play fetch. 

Husker is up to date on all of his vaccinations with his rabies due in September of 2012 and is microchipped. 

If you are interested in meeting Husker, please make sure you’ve submitted 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.

Micki

Micki has an adoption application pending!

Micki is approximately 2 years old. Micki is all black with the tiniest of white speckling on his legs and head. He is as sweet as you can imagine, he is a real Casanova with everyone he meets. He loves to be petted and thinks he is a big lap dog. Micki and gets along with other dogs (after an initial adjustment period) and he just loves older children. He has not been introduced to children under 10 or cats so his reaction to both is unsure at this time. He is neutered and up to date on his vaccinations and is micro chipped.

Micki came to Denver in November 2011 from Hiawatha, Kansas. He was matted quite badly, but after a bath and a groom he is a very handsome chap, so silky soft. He is not quite sure of the leash yet so he does have a tendency to pull and dart. Micki has learned about crating at night and figured out the dog door the first time he went through it. He is not an excessive barker and is very gentle when receiving treats. He is playful but still learning what a toy is.

He loves to run and investigate every little corner of the yard and can be outside for up to an hour at a time. Micki is highly alert to open doors and he has a tendency to try to escape. He would be very hard to catch if he not stopped or his behavior modified. We have recently learned that Micki likes to skooch under the frnce or try leaping it. Micki would do great with a companion about his age or a little older to help him learn the ropes and play with.  We have also recently found that Micki is food agressive, so we would urge his being fed away from other dogs. He also rides well in the car and loves watching the traffic lights.

If you are interested in meeting Micki, please make sure you have completed 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!
