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.

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.

RMCR has received multiple applications for Maxwell. You may still appy with the understanding that he may not be available for adoption.
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.

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.

Kula and Marley are bonded Cockapoos that are looking for a new home. The kids have grown up and have moved out and the owner is working a lot of hours, so these two are being left alone for longer than she would like. Also, financial issues are making it hard to keep them.
Kula is a seven year old male black Cockapoo. Marley is a six year old female black merle Cockapoo. They would need to be adopted together as they have never been separated. These two are both house trained. Both dogs are crate trained but Kula hates to be crated and is usually allowed to roam free within the home with no incidents. Both enjoy human companionship and enjoy going on walks. They are both altered and are up to date on their vaccinations until 2013. They know several trick, including how to shake. Marley also knows how to give a high-five and understands “wait”.
If you are interested in meeting these two, please make sure you’ve completed an online adoption application.

Pedro is a beautiful six year old neutered chocolate male Cocker Spaniel. He’s fairly small, weighing only 22 pounds.
He is an owner surrender. The parents have three children and work full time and don’t have time to train Pedro. He has learned to jump a five foot fence and therefore has to be chained when in the yard. The family is worried that he will get hurt if he continues to escape the yard, so they are looking for a family that can give him more attention and provide a safer environment for him.
He is up to date on his vaccinations. He is also crate trained and house trained. He gets along well with other dogs and has even been around cats. We feel that he would do best in a home with older children or in an adults-only environment. RMCR will make sure he is microchipped as well.

Cooper is a beautiful golden colored male Cocker Spaniel. He’s only 14 months old and is looking for a new home. His current owner is surrendering him because she feels she’s too old to give him the attention he deserves at his age.
Cooper is neutered and will be up to date on his vaccinations and microchipped for you. He knows how to use a doggy door but still may need a little reinforcement on his house training. Even without the doggy door, he seems to know to do his business outside. He’s still young and will learn quickly. He loves squeaky toys, chews, and going for walks outside. He gets excited when people come to meet him and wants to be everyones friend. He has beautiful white teeth. He’s very confident and bonds quickly.

Bo is a lovely five year old neutered Cocker Spaniel. He has had chronic ear infections, but is in good health otherwise. He is house trained, good with dogs his size and smaller but is scared of dogs bigger than him. Here’s what his foster mom added:
Bo – is PERFECT! Sweet, loyal, cuddle bug. He will insist on cudding with his forever mommy/daddy! His little nub of a tail is a non stop wag! He will let you know when he needs to go potty – He will stand by the door and whine a little bit. He is such a happy boy and took to his foster family (dogs and humans) in under a second. He gets along great with other dogs. He was exposed for a short time to a cat and pretty much ignored him. So I think he would be fine in a family with cats. He was great with my older nieces and even my 2 1/2 year old nephew didn’t scare him. He does growl a little bit when chewing on a toy or bone if another dog comes close. I haven’t seen him react more then growling though. We currently have him on Avo-derm brand food and suggest that he stay on that food for the rest of his life. Bo has dry skin but since he has been on the Avo-derm he seems to be doing MUCH better! She also believes that is also helping with his cronic ear infections! Oh, and you should see what he does for treats! He turns in circles and rolls over! It’s so cute!
Bo is current on his vaccinations and RMCR will ensure that he is microchipped for you.
