Rocky Mountain Cocker Rescue

Harley

Harley Henry Allen is an nine year old tan and white parti-colored male Cocker Spaniel. His owner is surrendering him due to health reasons and hopes that someone will give Harley the home he deserves!

Harley loves to run and, before his owner got sick, would go for walks with him every day. They went fishing together and even went hunting. Because of his hunting experience, he’s not scared of loud noises like firecrackers or thunder! He’s great with kids and other pets. He has been known to jump short fences, so his new owner will need to have at least a 6 foot fence. He’s not a big barker, but will join in if other dogs get him going. He’s good with the groomer, is neutered, house trained and up to date on his vaccinations.

If you would like to meet Harley, please complete an online adoption application.

Oreo

Oreo is around eight and a half years old and is a Cockapoo. She is looking for a new home. As she has aged, she’s become less tolerant of the kids in the home and has snapped at them. She’s hoping that her new home will be a comfortable place to relax and enjoy! She currently lives with a cat and says that’s OK – they are best friends! She should not go to a home with young children.

Oreo is black with a white chest and chin and is slightly more Poodle than Cocker. She’s spayed, house trained and crate trained although she doesn’t really care for the kennel. She has had obedience training and knows several commands as well as how to shake and roll over. RMCR will ensure that she is up to date on her vaccinations and that she is microchipped.

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

Buffy

Buffy has several applications in progress.  You may still submit an application with the understanding that he may not be available.

This precious little one year old came to us from Trinidad CO where he was surrendered to an animal control officer.  He was terrified to come out of his crate when he arrived in Denver, but was eventually coaxed out with a tasty hot dog!  Soon he was rolling over for tummy rubs as he traveled to his foster mom’s house.

Buffy is mostly white with a few tan spots and some freckles on his adorable nose.  He has perfect Cocker confirmations and seems to be house trained.  His foster mom said that so far there have been no accidents.  He gets along well with the two alpha females in the foster home and with the resident cat.  We can’t think of any reason he wouldn’t be the perfect addition to any home.

He is up to date on his vaccinations and is scheduled to be neutered shortly.  While he’s under anesthesia, we’ll take the opportunity to have the tartar that has accumulated on his teeth taken off.  Then we will microchip him for his future owner.

Buddy

Buddy has multiple applications pending which will most likely result in an adoption!

Howdy! My name is Buddy and I’m 7 years young with a soul of pure joy. I know what you’re thinking – “Oh geesh! Another dog named Buddy.” I know, I know. But if you met me, you’d understand. I’m just a good ol’ boy. If a man is humble and well thought of, he can be referred to as a “good old boy”, regardless of his age. That’s me! I’m loyal, loving, calm and definitely well thought of. I want nothing more in this life than to be your best friend.

So now you’re wondering, how does a seemingly perfect, mellow fellow like myself end up in rescue? It’s not a story I like to tell. I was a happy guy, spending my days in the lap of my former pop. We had quite a family with our dad, my brother dog, two cats and me. Well, my dad was elderly and his days were numbered. When he passed, the four of us were brought to a shelter. We were all lucky and were rescued by some really great places. They would like to have kept us together, but we were just happy to find safe places to go to mourn the loss of our lives as we knew them and discover all the things this world still has to offer us.

So I’m here in Denver now and I’m waiting for a family who has been searching for their perfect Buddy. I get along with all 4-legged creatures and am a very gentle boy. I’ll fit in with most lifestyles. I’m the best at being a lap dog, but don’t let that fool you. I love going on walks and runs and playing in the yard with my people. I know my basic commands and am an excellent listener – I only want to make you happy. I am also house-trained and do really well on a leash. I do have one requirement of my new family. It is really important that I be able to sleep with you. At the foot of the bed would be fine, as long as I have just a little room. I just want to make sure we are safe together. So what do you say? Are you ready for the best Buddy you ever had? Please fill out an application for me today – I’m so excited to meet my new family!

Buddy is a Cocker mix, neutered and up to date on all vaccinations.  He is also microchipped.  If you are interested in meeting Buddy, please make sure to complete an online adoption application.

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.

Aspen

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

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. 

 Her owner thinks she would be best with a couple or single person who can devote their undivided love and time to her.  She is a sweet gentle dog, in excellent health, is house trained, crate trained, has lots of energy, loves walks, and is good with other dogs and children.  She is very social, wags her tail constantly, does well at the kennel and loves to ride in car.  She is spayed, and up to date on her vaccinations until March of 2012.  She is quite athletic and loves to run in the back yard.

Guthrie

Guthrie has pending adoption applications!  You can still apply with the understanding that he may not be available.

My foster parents call me Guthrie the Wonder Dog. They told me that wonder means, “A feeling of surprise mingled with admiration, caused by something beautiful, unexpected, or inexplicable.” You see, when they first met me, I had no story to tell them so they wondered what kind of boy I would be. All they knew was that I ended up in a Salt Lake City shelter completely matted and very afraid. They were surprised after only one night with them, the fear was gone. They were overcome with a feeling of wonder as a beautiful soul came back to life in me.

You couldn’t ask for a better dog to join your family, really. I am loving and playful. I am young and handsome. I get along with all other four-legged friends whether feline or canine. Like most young and active pups, I probably shouldn’t be in a home with very young children quite yet, but I think I would enjoy playing with older kids. I love to play fetch and with balls in general. I really enjoy my toys and know the difference between your treasures and my own. Walks and playing outdoors are my favorite. Being outside with my people is the best time of day (well, besides meal time)! I am a good boy and I listen well. I’m very house-trained and know a few basic commands. My foster parents predict I will know more by the time you get me (I’m very smart, too!).

Although I can’t tell you about my past, it has had an impact on me. While I am a happy boy when I am with my family, I can still get scared around strangers (especially at the doctor’s office!). I really need to find a loving family that can help me feel secure for the rest of my life. I would do best in a home that has someone who knows how to be the pack leader and can show me the ropes in trusting all humankind again.

There’s this guy that shares my name. You may have heard of him – Woody Guthrie? Well, he said this really great thing that rings true to me. “All at once, no matter what has happened to you, you are building a brand new world again, based and built on the mistakes, the wreck, the hard luck and trouble of the old one.” I’ve definitely had some hard luck in my short life, but I know it was all just to get me here to this rescue so I could meet you. While I can’t tell you much about my past, I know I’m ready to start building my brand new world with a family that will love me forever. Are you ready to fill your life with some wonder? Then, hurry and fill out an online adoption application for Guthrie the Wonder Dog!

Guthrie is around two years old, up to date on his vaccinations, is neutered and will be microchipped for his new owner!

Rusty

Rusty has an active adoption application!

Rusty is another Kansas native that is here in Denver to find a new home.  He’s around four years old and is reddish colored with white markings.  He was a stray and his family chose not to pay the fines and veterinary fees, so he was sent to RMCR.

Rusty is neutered and up to date on all of his vaccinations.  He’s a friendly little guy.  He seems to be completely house trained and does well on a lead.  Rusty is a very good escape artist, so anyone wishing to adopt him should have a very high and secure fence and be monitored when left outdoors alone.  He gets along very well with other dogs, but should not be placed in a home with cats.  He seems fine with children as young as six.  RMCR will microchip Rusty for his new owners.

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

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.
