Rocky Mountain Cocker Rescue

Sassy

Sassy is a four year old black and brown female Cocker Spaniel that was a puppy mill mother that her current owners adopted from the Humane Society last February.  She displays some typical traits of puppy mill mothers that will take patience and training to overcome.  Along with the fact that there’s a new baby on the way, the owners feel that this new obligation will take time away from working with Sassy’s training and is looking for someone willing to give her the attention she deserves.

Sassy is crate trained and enjoys nesting in her crate.  Due to her history, she has some house training issues that are resolved by using the crate.  She is doing well on the lead, especially with the help of a gentle leader.  She absolutely LOVES to play ball and is awesome at bringing it back and never seems to tire of the game.  She gets along with other dogs, but we don’t know about cats.  She should be fine  with older children, but we would caution aginst toddlers just in case.

Sassy is spayed and up to date on her vaccinations.  She’s super sweet and healthy, so if you are interested in meeting her or would like additional information, please complete an online adoption application.

Bailey

Hurry!  This the sweetest,funniest, cuddliest dog!!!!   If you want the good humor and love of a puppy that is housebroken and friendly with other pets and people, Bailey is your dog.  He is Peter Pan at his best.  He plays with balls and stuffed toys with happy energy and sleeps as if he turned off a switch.   His heart is in anything he does.  With long agile legs, he often walks across the floor on his back feet, head held high with the grace of Fred Astaire.  His tail is long and very fancy.  Like a boa, It swings and curls up and wags furiously.  He is definitely one of a kind and you’ll wish that wasn’t so because so many people will want one just like him as you introduce him to your friends.  He is Just barely house broken so you will have to follow through and if you want, He happily sleeps in a crate, except you will want to be near him constantly!  Hard not to spoil this one!   We recommend a home without toddlers as Bailey tends to jump up for affection and may knock them down.  He’s great with kids eight and older.

Bailey is up to date on his vaccinations and is microchipped.  If you are interested in meeting Bailey, please complete an online adoption application.

Charlie Brown

Charlie Brown is approximately seven years old and is being surrendered by his owner due to a change in family dynamics.

Charlie’s owners have had him since he was a puppy. He is a wonderful dog in almost every respect but he does not like children. They just had our first child one year ago and feel that they cannot allow them to be together without worrying that he might act aggressively towards her now that she has become more mobile. Charlie loves to give and get attention and is generally very sweet. He is smart, has had obedience training and is completely housebroken.

Charlie is up to date on all of his vaccination and is neutered.  He is currently on a small dose of medication due to a recent thyroid issue and is responding well.  Charlie is crate trained, but prefers not to be crated when his people are home,although he will occasionally go into his kennel to sleep.  He has been known to be protective of his food.  He likes to play with his toys, especially his rubber chicken and squeaky soccer ball.  He likes to nap on the couch and go to the dog park.

Penny

We’re pleased to introduce you to Penny!  Penny is five years old and is being surrendered by her owner due to divorce and relocation.

Penny is house trained and kennel trained, although her owner lets her have free reign of the house when she’s not at home.  The best home for Penny would be with an active single person or couple. She loves going on walks. She would do best with someone who is very patient, loving and kind and would let her sleep with them or sit with them on the couch. She loves to be held and cuddled. She is sweet and loving and likes to be around you all the time, so it would need to be a home where she can be with them in the kitchen, etc.

Penny does get along with other dogs, but would prefer to be the only dog in your life.  She is jealous of babies and toddlers, so any children should be older.  She’s never been around cats, so we recommend a cat-free home.  She’s not a barker – she only barks when someone rings the doorbell to let you know you have visitors.  She’s also a great runner. She can run alongside a bike on a leash. She loves to play outside, chase birds and squirrels in the yard. She loves to chew on toys and chew sticks.  She’s spayed and up to date on her vaccinations.

Remington

Remington is a wonderful white and tan male Cocker Spaniel. He’s approximately six years old and was surrendered by his owner.  His owner found him as a stray and owned him for the last three and a half years.

Remington needs a home with adults who understand Cocker Spaniels. He is jealous of his toys and his bed and tries to protect them.  Young children may not understand to leave his toys alone and he may try to snap at them, although he has never bitten anyone.  He is very loving and does well on the leash and riding in the car.  He is a very devoted dog that simply needs someone to give him more attention than his previous owner was able to provide.  He is very intelligent and willing to learn if someone is willing to provide the consistency and praise necessary for him to remember his training.

Remington knows how to use the doggie door, is up-to-date on his vaccinations, is neutered and has a brand new haircut.  He knows several commands such as down, come, sit, stay and wait.  He likes stuffed toys, in particular monkeys and birds, and he likes balls.  He likes to hold them and keep them close by.  He likes to play fetch, loves walks and loves to cuddle.  He is sensitive when people touch his rear, so care should be taken to slowly desensitize him to this trait.  We also recommend a home with no cats.

Bailey

Bailey is a small, 5.5 year old, neutered male Cockapoo who was surrendered by his owner due to her health challenges. This cutie pie is a little intimidated by new dogs, especially bigger dogs, but once he gets to know the dog he is fine and would love to have a buddy. Bailey would also love to have school age children to play with in his new home. 

Bailey is house trained, and would probably do alright in a crate.  He may have a little separation anxiety since his owner reported that he sometimes marked the baseboards (nothing else, just the baseboards) in some rooms when he was left alone. This behavior can be eliminated through training.   He would love squeaky toys, balls and chew toys.   No little Cockapoo’s life would be complete without lots of toys to carry around and call his own. 

Bailey would love a home with a fenced yard and doggie door so he can come and go as he pleases. A privacy fence would be best so he isn’t tempted to bark at the passers-by. He would be a very happy dog if he could have another playful dog and/or children aged 7 years and older to play with every day. 

Bailey is up to date on all his vaccinations and ready for his new forever home!  Just fill out this online application form.

Flag

Flag is a nine year old Cocker Spaniel that recently lost his owner and is looking for a new home.  He is a black and white male with a full tail and came into rescue with his best pal, Maddie.  He would like to be adopted with Maddie, but it is not necessary.

Flag is neutered and is up to date on his vaccinations which will be due in June 2010 except for rabies which will not be due until June of 2011.  Flag has issues with some other males and would prefer all of your attention if possible!  He seems to do fine with other females.  He is house trained and is in good health.

Flag’s former owner had her own home-based business and was at home with him a lot, so he is used to having someone around.  Currently he spends 5-6 hours unsupervised and is fine.  The best home situation for him would be with owners that either work part-time, have a home-based business, or are retired.  He would really like a nice fenced yard so that he can get out and investigate.  We recommend a home without young children since he’s never lived in that environment.  He has done fine with children at adoption events.
