Rocky Mountain Cocker Rescue

Emma

Emma is a beautiful two year old black female Cocker Spaniel that came to Denver all the way from South Dakota in hopes of finding her new forever home.  Her foster mom describes her as a “go along” dog.  Time to eat? OK.  Time for bed?  OK.  Don’t potty in the house, use the pet door or ask to go out.  OK.  Just a sweet, nice, gentle girl.   She loves the back yard and doesn’t hesitate if you beckon her to your chair for petting. She gets along with everyone and should be good with children.  Emma is housetrained and is comfortable with a crate.

Emma is up to date on her vaccinations and is spayed.  She’s just waiting for you to make her your very own.

If you want to meet Emma, please fill out an online adoption application.

Boots

Boots is a picture perfect, black American Cocker Spaniel with a white streak that starts under his chin and ends on his chest. He also has a tiny bit of white on each foot, thus the name “Boots”. His adorable little face and head and big brown eyes are absolutely irresistable. Boots turned 3 years old at the end of December. His elderly owner found he had too much energy for her, so she surrendered him for a new home. 

He is very friendly and loves people, but he does not like cats and he can be “amorous” with small children, so he will be placed in a home without either cats or young children. 

Boots is house trained and crate trained, although he does not like the crate if his people are around and will fuss for awhile before settling down. He loves to sleep on the bed with his people and snuggle with them whenever possible. He also likes to sit on the driver’s lap while in the car. Boots wants to be the center of attention for his people and will growl a bit at other dogs who also want attention. This resource guarding behavior can be fixed through training, which his foster parents are working on. 

Boots has been neutered and had his teeth cleaned. He is up to date on vaccinations and microchipped. This fantastic little guy will not last long, so please submit your online adoption application immediately if you are interested in this boy.

Jovi

Jovi had an adoption application pending.

Jovi is 1-1/2 and loves to spend as much time as possible with his people. He likes long walks on the treadmill and outside. He loves toys but stuffed ones are quickly destuffed in minutes. Jovi prefers that all of his people be in the same room, if they are not he will go from room to room to check them all and make sure no one is missing. He bonds quickly with people although he is scared at first and needs his people to hold him and introduce him to new people but he quickly becomes friends. Jovi is strong enough when playing tug of war to pull a 150lb person half off of a leather couch, but when around a 3 year old will not tug hard enough to knock them down. 

Jovi shakes with either paw, high fives with either paw, rolls over, and jumps 3-4 feet in the air while clicking his heels. He likes to sleep more during the day than at night. His favorite place is on the bed but he sleeps in a crate too. Jovi loves the animal planet channel and often looks behind the tv to find the animals. He loves jumping and trying to attack the hair dryer, vacuum, and carpet shampooer. Chasing laserlights are his specialty and he will jump 3-4 feet in the air to try to catch one. He loves to chase birds, and wants to play with cats but most won’t let him. He makes friends with most dogs easily and quickly. His groomer says he always picks a favorite dog of the day and that becomes his best friend for duration of his time at the groomer. He is submissive to other dogs and is always looking for approval both from his people and other animal. He loves to lay on his back with his legs in the air when on a bed. He naps often in the evening on a bed and dreams almost every night running and barking in his dreams. 

Jovi loves car rides with the windows down, and his long ears flowing in the breeze. He does have some intolerances for venison and beef in his foods. After many foods and antibiotics to overcome a colon infection he does well with Rachel Ray’s Chicken dog food and needs a heaping tablespoon of plain yogurt every morning no matter what food he has. Everyone who meets Jovi loves him; he is beautiful and a true joy. He will add many moments of entertainment to any family. He loves to be chased and will try to get people and dogs alike to chase him. 

Jovi does not like black hats, coats, or black bags. Once Jovi gets barking, it is hard to get him to stop, he is OCD and has a hard time getting off task.  A gentle leader collar works best when walking. Jovi is best corrected using the nape of the neck as his mother would to remind him who is alpha.

Jovi would prefer a companion pet but if he can not have that he wants a lot of time and attention. He is very affectionate and returns the attention.

Hubble

Hubble is a beautiful, young American Cocker Spaniel male who would thrive in a home with a woman and other dogs. He is a little shy around men and children and has not been exposed to cats, so his new mom will do him a world of good if she could take him everywhere and socialize him as much as possible. As with most young dogs who have not had consistent training, Hubble sometimes struggles with his house training; however, with consistent positive reinforcement he will catch on quickly.
 
Hubble has been neutered and is current on his vaccinations and is crate trained. His pearly whites are sparkling from a recent dental cleaning, so he is ready for his new home.

If you are interested in meeting Hubble, please complete one of our cnline adoption applications.

Scooter

Scooter is tri-color male Cocker Spaniel who is approximately three years old.  He is coming into rescue because his family is moving and can’t take him with them.

Scooter had a recent bout with autoimmune hemolytic anemia and was treated and is now on a maintenance plan that consists of a half a pill every other week.  He seems to be doing very well.  Scooter has not been left in the house to roam freely, so he will need a patient owner that will work patiently with him to learn how to behave in the house.  He sleeps in his crate at night and is quite comfortable with this set-up.  He has never been around small children or cats, so we recommend a home that is cat and toddler-free.  He likes playing with squeeky toys and knows some basic commands.  He will need to be neutered and checked out by a vet before he is adopted, but we will take care of those costs.

If you are interested in meeting Scooter, please complete one of our online adoption applications.

Nixie

This is Nixie.  He is a two year old black male Cocker Spaniel.

Nixie was dumped at a church on a cold December evening in Missouri.  He somehow found his way to the local shelter where a kind-hearted woman saw him and got in touch with us.  We made arrangements to bring him to Denver where he now has a warm foster home, a handsome new haircut and is getting regular meals.  Nixie is a little shy, but is very curious and is starved for attention.  He loves to sit in your lap and lean in very close to be near you.  He gets along well with other animals and children.

Nixie is up to date on his vaccinations, is scheduled for a neuter, and is micro-chipped.  He’s comfortable in a crate, but would rather be near you.  He is working on his house training skills, but is very smart and will catch on with consistent reinforcement and lots of praise.  This little guy is looking for a loving forever home.

Molly

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.

Ulysses

Ulyses is a wonderful dog! He is happy and wiggly all the time. He came to us with pneumonia and was very sick. Now he is doing so much better and ready for his forever home. He is a fun loving 18 month old red/white parti-colored neutererd male Cocker Spaniel. He is great with other dogs and children. He is potty trained and crate trained and he has freckles to die for! He is still taking his antibiotics and the vet wants to give him a chest x-ray in another month but feels he is ready for adoption. He is up to date on his vaccines and heart worm negative. You will fall in love with this bouncy puppy dog!

Oliver

Oliver is a very well-behaved, sweet and affectionate four year old Cocker boy.  He is completely house-broken and crate-trained, and sincerely believes himself to be a lap dog.  Oliver is mellow and low-key, but loves to chase the occasional squirrel.  He knows sit, come, down, off, and cookie, and walks well on a leash  He has shown no aggression toward people or other dogs, and gets along well with cats.  He is loose in the house all day and night without incident.

Oliver is neutered, microchipped and up to date on all of his vaccinations.  If you are interested in meeting Oliver, please complete one of our online adoption applications.

Callie

I’m Callie, a gorgeous, petite, red three year old American Cocker Spaniel with a bleach blonde tuft on my head. My previous owner turned me in to a shelter because of personal problems, so I’m looking for my new forever home. I am about 3 years old, house trained and crate trained (although I prefer not to be in a crate; I fuss a little when I first go into a crate, but then I will settle down and be quiet). I LOVE to play with dogs and cats. I give my love and kisses freely, ride nicely in cars and am friendly with everyone, although I am a little shy of strangers at first. I know some basic commands and am constantly wagging my little tail showing everyone how happy I am in general.
 
My pictures just don’t do me justice. When you see how dainty and small I am (about 20 pounds) and see my long eyelashes and beautiful brown eyes, you’ll fall in love with me immediately. Of course, I am spayed, freshly groomed and up to date on all my vaccinations, so I am ready for you!
