Rocky Mountain Cocker Rescue

Woody

Woody is one of our senior rescues. We don’t know his actual age, but we’re estimating him to be in the neighborhood of around 10 years old.

Woody came to us with several issues including a luxating cataract, dental disease, facial paralysis, dermatitis, chronic ear infections and several lumps that we thought were possible cancer masses. He’s had his ears and teeth cleaned and the lumps removed and fortunately, they were not cancerous. However, being an older gentleman, he has a hard time hearing and seeing. We’re hoping that a wheat-free diet will help maintain his ear health and also help with his skin condition. His facial paralysis is permanent and most likely was caused by ear infections that were not properly treated.  He is up to date on his vaccinations, neutered and house trained.  He gets along with kids, other dogs, and we assume cats.

With that being said, he’s still a loving fellow that hopes someone will want to give him a home where he can live the rest of his live in comfortable security. He gets along with his foster family’s other dog and follows him around. He is even sleeping in the teenage daughter’s bed. Woody’s favorite things to do are to go on a walk, ride in the car, chew on a bone, and sleep.

Since Cocker Spaniels have been known to live up to 17 years, Woody still has several years to go. If you are that special person that would like to give him a home for his golden years, please let us know. We’d love to introduce you to him.

Emma

Emma was found as a stray and is searching for her forever home. She is a sweet, chubby girl. She is about five years old, spayed, and up to date on her vaccines. She is house trained, good with children, cats and dogs.

She is a happy and wiggly dog and when you pet her she grunts and groans. She is so cute. She was so badly matted when she was discovered that she had to be completely shaved so you can grow her hair out into whatever haircut you like.

She does not get along with other dogs but is okay with cats, seems to just ignore them. She is afraid of stairs at first but after some time she will go up and down them. She is a real sweet dog. she likes to go on walks. This dog is very loveable.

Harry

Harry is another little boy who was a walking smelly mat when picked up.  The shelter shaved him, and he’ll look much better when we get him groomed and his teeth scaled!  Harry has been neutered and has all his shots and a microchip.  He is a very affectionate and lively two-year-old Cocker with a long tail.  He loves chasing balls, laying in laps, giving kisses, and playing with the other dogs.  He seems to be fully house-trained and chews only on his chewie toys.  The cats haven’t ventured near yet, but he’s shown appropriate interest when he catches sight of them.   Harry knows his name now, and knows “come”: he is working on sit, down, and off. Harry is an absolute joy to have around!  He has not needed to be crated and has free run of the den at all times.

Lexi

My name is Lexi! I am an approximately 3-4 year old female buff and white cocker spaniel, although I may have some mix involved -perhaps a little Schnauzer, but who knows?  I was found as a matted, dirty stray in Nebraska and brought to Colorado.  Once I was here, I got bathed and groomed, and had to be shaved, so I look a little scruffy right now, but my fur is growing back soft and clean.  I have the thickest, darkest eyelashes you’ve ever seen!  My foster parents say I am a good, smart dog, so don’t you want to be my family? 

Lexi is a GREAT dog! She knows her name, and knows sit, lay down and roll over!  She is working on heel and stop when on a leash.  She will go in a crate, but is fine left loose in the house during the day, with no accidents.  She learned the very first night that she sleeps on her own doggie bed, not on our bed.  She rides well in the car.  She likes nylabones and squeaky toys, and is good with adults, children, and other dogs, but LOVES men most of all! We don’t know about cats.  She is quiet and rarely barks in the house, but has a big dog bark when she does bark!  She loves to curl up next to you on the couch and give kisses and get pets.  Her only bad habit is that she gets very excited and will run away when off leash, so we are working on come and stay here.  She is very smart and learns quickly, and is very “well adjusted” for all she has been through.  You will not be disappointed with Lexi!!

Meet Cody – Adopted

Cody is a sweet, affectionate, buff-and-white, male American Cocker Spaniel. This little guy was found as a stray, so we do not know his history, but we believe he is between one- and two-years old. He is not excessively energetic; however, he loves romping in the yard with other dogs and tries to play with his foster mom’s cats. Cody plays well with children as young as 5-years-old. He’s a little shy at first and somewhat insecure until he gets to know someone new, but once he warms up he is just a lover who enjoys people’s attention. Cody loves to play with balls and squeaky toys and he is learning tug-of-war with the other dogs. As you can see by his pictures, he loves rawhide chewies, also!

Cody does have issues with men initially, he tried to attack a foster’s husband when they first met and he also tried to bite the vet during the exam, but he can be sweet talked with gentle voices, petting and yummy treats. The husband was able to pet him and Cody was not afraid of him after the first evening.

He is house-trained and crate-trained and uses the crate voluntarily. At night he is loose in the house and does not have any accidents. This very gentle boy is learning his basic commands such as ‘sit’ and ‘come’, but only ‘come’ is solid at this point. He has not shown any resource guarding issues; his foster mom can take away his food or chew toy without incident. Cody is neutered and up-to-date on his shots, so he’s ready for his new forever home! If you are willing to work with him and socialize him to strangers, Cody will be a wonderful best friend for you!

Aspen

Jim and Aspen

Aspen found a new forever home after she was found as a bedraggled stray full of mats a few weeks previously. She once was lost, but now forever found in a loving home where she will be with her beloved mom and dad at all times whether it’s going to the park, working on cars, visiting the grandchildren or just hanging out.

Dawn and Tionne

Dawn and Tionne

Jill, David and their children are providing the loving family and home that Dawn and Tionne never had. Dawn and Tionne were found together as strays in a neighboring state. They were horribly matted when taken in by a fellow rescue, but they accepted the hours of grooming needed to get them back in shape. After a few weeks in foster care, they found their way to this wonderful new forever home where they get daily walks and playtime with their family! We are so happy for all of them!

Meet Telly – adopted

Click to see Larger

Telly is a sweet, quiet and gentle 10-11 year-old male Cocker Spaniel who is smaller than a typical Cocker. Telly was found running as a stray so we do not know much about this fellow, but he is healthy, up-to-date on his vaccinations, neutered and ready for his new forever home.

Cockers generally live to be 15-18 years old, so this little guy has plenty of life and love left in him. If you would like to meet Telly, contact Susan at sblummanick@aol.com for an adoption application.
