Kodiak is an eight year old neutered male Cocker Spaniel that was dropped off at the shelter because his owners “didn’t want him anymore”.  He is a sweet dog who gets along with other dogs. He can be a little bossy at times, but isn’t a classic alpha. He gets along with people, although he does seem to be more comfortable around women. He is pretty good with house training, although he has had a couple of accidents, so he will need some reinforcement in his house training skills.

Kodiak is up to date with his vaccinations and is microchipped.  If you are interested in meeting him, please make sure you’ve completed an online adoption application.

Please welcome Gabriel!

Visitors to our Facebook page may recall seeing a YouTube video of Gabriel.  If you missed it, here’s the link:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6a5WvgGXSQ&feature=youtu.be.

You can see that he has indeed been rescued and is once again a beautiful boy.  He had to have some surgeries to remove quite a few teeth, cherry eyes fixed and a neuter.  He also had all of that matted hair cut off.  He is much happier now that those abcessed teeth have been removed.  He is still experiencing some tearing in his eyes and may benefit from regular eye drops.

Here is what his foster mom has to say:

He is very sweet and affectionate. Loves to go outside and sniff around in the backyard, and enjoys laying in the sun. He has learned to use the doggie door and loves his freedom. He is cuddly and sweet and has a NON-stop tail/butt wiggle. He loves toys-squeaky, shiny, or soft and furry. He likes to chew on rawhide bones.  

Does occasionally bark/howl when he sees birds or other wildlife animals in trees. Not a huge bark, and usually stops when I tell him to stop. He gets along well with other dogs large and small and has not shown any aggressive behaviors around people or animals. He has not been around children yet.  

Likes his food, and finishes his half cup portions in one sitting. He is getting one cup total per day. He sits before getting treats and takes treats very gently. He is a gentle little guy all around. We are working on the weight loss. He is at 35 lbs now. He likes to sleep on the couch or the bed, so we are working on getting him comfortable enough to sleep in a dog bed or on a blanket on the floor. He does not go into his crate at all and doesn’t seem to care for it. He is good roaming free when we are gone from the house, no accidents, no chewing, no getting into the garbage.  

Great dog! Follows me around the house, likes car rides and likes walks.

Anna and Alidza are a bonded pair of female Cocker Spaniel sisters that are looking for a new home.  They are Independence Day babies having been born on the 4th of July, 2005.

They are owner surrenders.  Their mom is remarrying and her husband-to-be is allergic to dogs.  Anna is the buff colored female and Alidza is the black one.  They are both house trained and social with other dogs and cats.  They are both up to date on vaccinations and are spayed.  They have been exposed to small children and have done fine.  These girls would make a wonderful addition to any home.

Sadie is a one and one-half year old Cocker mix that came to us from New Mexico.  She is a very sweet, loving dog that just says “love me” when she looks at you with those beautiful eyes. She is quite obedient, walks well on a leash, comes immediately when you call her name and is not food aggressive, but she does get so excited when it comes to treats that she can hardly contain herself. She was housetrained when we got her and now she is a pro at the doggy door as well. While she is slightly timid, she is quite friendly with everyone she meets and gets along well with her housemates, Blackjack and Pepper (though Pepper wasn’t the happiest when she arrived, she’s gotten used to and accepts her now). However, Sadie never batted a lash if Pepper growled at her to get off the same couch, she just jumped off and sat on the floor nearby. She is quite playful and likes chasing after plastic balls, tennis ones too except that she then chews those right up.

Sadie has a full tail and is white with black merle markings.  She is up to date on all vaccinations and is spayed.  RMCR will microchip her for you.

 Hi!  My name is Prince.  That’s just what I am – a Prince.  This is the second time I’ve been at Rocky Mountain Cocker Rescue and I’m looking for someone that will love me for the rest of my life.  See, this time I’m back because my owner had some family difficulties and understood that I wasn’t getting the attention that I deserved!  I’m in a wonderful foster home right now with some other fun dogs, but I really want a home of my own.

I love kids and I love to play!  I’ll chase the ball if you throw it.  If you’re busy, I can even toss it myself and chase after it.  I’m really no problem at all.  I’m a love bug too!  I like to sit next to you and give you lots of attention and puppy kisses!  I’ve had a few problems with my ears and with the skin on my tummy, but they think they’ve got that under control.  If you feed me good food and clean my ears regularly, I promise not to be a problem!   So, please call soon!  I’ll be waiting to meet you.

Prince is four years old,  up to date on all of his vaccinations, is neutered and microchipped. If you are interested in meeting him, please complete an online adoption application.

 This is what Iris’s foster mom has to say about her:

Beats me how this sweet, intelligent, lovable little girl wound up as an unclaimed stray in a local animal shelter.  Did I mention she is beautiful?  At her checkup last week, she weighed in at a petite 15 pounds.  She is white with buff spots, light buff ears, a little kissing spot on the top of her head, a few freckles on her nose, and large, soulful eyes.  The shelter named her Iris, which is her legal name for now, but I call her Sugar, because everyone who meets her comments on her sweetness.  People also think she looks like a puppy.  The shelter estimated her age at eleven years.  The veterinarian who cleaned her teeth last week thinks she could be as young as eight years.  Iris has just been given all her vaccinations including a series of two canine flu vaccinations, and has been tested negative for heartworm.  She had been spayed in her previous life.  

She loves to go for walks, does a dance when she knows she gets to go, and is friendly with everyone she meets, whether they have two legs or four.  She is house trained and sleeps in my bedroom on her dog bed.  She sleeps through the night, and I have to wake her in the morning.  I do not crate her when I leave the house, but so far I have only left her for a couple of hours at a time.  She stays off the furniture unless invited, and she has not been destructive.  She is very quiet.  I have only heard one little woof out of her to the dog on the other side of the fence.  Her voice is as tiny and cute as she is.  It is obvious she has been loved by someone, and she should become a beloved companion for her lucky new owner.

Hi there, my name is Maxwell. You may not know it yet, but you’ve been waiting your whole life to find a dog like me. I’m a young, handsome guy who’s on the small side – only three years old and barely weighing in at 20 pounds. You know what that means? I’m the perfect size for your lap, which, if I had it my way, is where I would spend most of my time. I arrived in Denver on a transport from Kansas. It was a long ride, but I hear folks in Colorado are real nice and I’m hoping I might get a chance at a life where I’m safe and loved forever.

My foster family doesn’t really know how I’ve gotten this far in life without finding a family who wouldn’t dream of parting with me. First of all, they tell me I’m cute as a button with my fabulous markings, soft coat and tiny stature (not to mention eyes that will melt your heart). Secondly, I’m about as sweet as they come. I love to cuddle and sit in laps and have my belly rubbed. It is my purpose in life to love you unconditionally. Third, I’m still full of puppy spunk without the hassle of needing to be trained. Playing ball is probably the most fun thing in the world, don’t you think? If you don’t have a ball, I love to wrestle and play with my people – it’s such a good time! Walks are good, too. My foster parents says I still need some work on my walking manners, but they say for a pup that probably hasn’t had any experience, I’m learning pretty darn fast. I would never dream of doing my outside business in the house and I certainly know not to destroy my home as well. I’m not a barker (for a while, my foster mom wondered if I even had a voice!) and I mind very well. Disappointing you probably upsets me more than it does you. I know what “no” means and you can bet that if you tell me once, I won’t do it again. All I want is for us to be happy together.

Are you ready for the icing on the cake? I get along with anyone and anything. Big dogs, small dogs, fluffy cats, hairless cats, tiny humans, big humans… You name it, I’ll adapt! So what do you say? I have been waiting a long time for a warm lap and someone who loves me as much as I love them. Do you have room in your heart and your home for the love of your life?

Maxwell is up to date on all vaccinations, is neutered and will be microchipped for you. If you are interested in meeting Maxwell, please complete an online adoption application.

My name is Little Guy.  My real name is Kalalau, but Little Guy was so much easier for my foster mom!  I’m a lively little 12 year old.  I recently lost my family when they had to move and were unable to take me.  Since I am a senior I have a few health issues but they are all managed with low cost medication.  I have low thyroid and a mild heart condition, neither of which slow me down.   I also don’t hear very well, but my sense of smell is amazing!  I live at 8,000 ft and am as active as the younger dogs in my foster home.  I am good with dogs of all sizes and am not interested in cats.  I am a great little companion who would love to be someone’s lap warmer.  I ride well in the car and am good on a leash.  I also know sit and down and can use a doggie door.

Hi, I’m Beatrice, a shiny black Cockapoo with a thin white stripe down my chest and a little white under my chin. I’m supposed to be 9 years old; however, my foster parents think I’m more like 5 years old due to my playful nature and energy level. I prance and dance and wiggle my little tail a lot when I’m happy. I seek out petting and loving from my people. I’m a little shy around strangers, but once I get to know you I’ll follow you everywhere. I sleep in an open crate at night (no need to lock me in) and when my people are not around. They trust me not to make a mess when they are out. I’m a quiet girl who is housetrained and I get along well other other dogs. My previous owners had a noisy, busy household that was a little overwhelming for me. I would prefer a quieter home without young children.

 I had my teeth cleaned recently and I’m microchipped and fully vaccinated.

Oliver is an adult male Cocker Spaniel mix of unknown age that is looking for a new home.  His current owner is member of our military and is preparing to deploy.  He was adopted from the Adams County Animal Shelter only around a year ago. 

Oliver is larger than most Cocker Spaniels, weighing in at a cool 50 pounds.  He has displayed aggressive behavior with the other dogs in the family home, so he would do best as an only pet.  He is protective of his food, so we will not adopt him to families with toddlers and we’re not sure about his behavior around cats.  He is neutered, house trained, and up to date on his rabies vaccination until June of this year.  RMCR will cover vaccinations for potential adopters and will ensure that he is microchipped.

He does well with adults, following his male owner around the house.  He can be trusted to be left alone indoors without threat of destruction.  He would really love to have a quiet home with someone that will play ball with him.  If you would be willing to give Oliver a chance at a forever home, we’d love to introduce you to him.
