Beverly is a lively and affectionate little black and white Cocker with striking markings. She is a rescued puppy mill mama, and has recently been spayed. Beverly is fully house-trained and can be left loose alone in the house without incident.
Beverly has shown absolutely no aggression toward people or other animals, even under trying circumstances. She has all her shots, her teeth have been cleaned, and she is almost fully recovered from the ear mite infestation she arrived with.
Because she is blind, Beverly is timid at first, but that doesn’t slow her down for long! She immediately memorized the layout of the house and yard, and now runs around with great confidence. She loves romping with the other dogs, being petted, held in a lap, and exploring the yard. She’s a loving little darling, looking for her forever home.
Because of her sight limitations, we will not adopt Beverly to a home with toddlers. She won’t be able to dodge them and they won’t be able to remember that she can’t see.

This is Blanche. She is one of three special girls that came to us from Kansas in early November. Blanche is approximately a year and a half old and spent those years in a mill producing puppies. Blanche, along with her sisters, has unique markings and the breeder was attempting to take advantage of these unusual and striking patterns. Unfortunately, this type of inbreeding often leads to other genetic defects. You see, Blanche is sight impaired (but please don’t tell her -she doesn’t know she’s different).
Since Blanche arrived in foster care in Colorado, she has blossomed from a scared, withdrawn dog into a happy and confident one and is beginning to enjoy life. She even seemed to enjoy the recent snowfall, wagging her tail and almost smiling! She finds her way around using other senses such as scent and feel. She’s learned quickly where stationary objects are located and remembers to avoid them. Unfortunately, moving targets, such as people and other animals still present a small issue, but at least the other dogs are tolerant of minor indiscretions. She has even learned to go to the door to be let out. She gets along with the other dogs in the foster home and has no interest in cats.
Blanche has learned to go up and down the stairs to the second floor of her foster home. She senses when the rest have done that and will not be left behind. She is eager to wag her tail when she senses a person in order to get a pat and jumps on them to make sure that the person doesn’t miss her need. She is just a happy, adventurous delight. And no trouble at all.
Blanche will receive dental care to compensate for the neglect that she endured as a breeder dog. She will also be spayed and will be up to date on her vaccinations. She will be a stellar companion for someone who is willing to overlook her sight issue. All she wants is for someone to love and take care of her.
