Rocky Mountain Cocker Rescue

Pixie

This is Pixie! And yup, she’s not a Cocker. Pixie came all the way from Sacramento as a favor to another rescue because she wasn’t in a no-kill shelter. Pixie is a 13 lb maltese/poodle/terrier mix. She is about 6 years old, and does well with other small dogs (and Cockers!). She LOVES to play ball, and has lots of energy for playing with toys and exploring the back yard. She sleeps in her crate or on a dog bed. She is housebroken, and is fine being left loose in the house (no doggie door!). We think she was a city apartment dog, because she tends to go potty on the concrete and is still figuring out what grass is for (so far, excellent for writhing on). She is a happy little doggy, and adjusted to her foster home almost immediately—hopping up on the couch to sit in our laps and get love. Her prior owners stated she is afraid of thunder and fireworks, and she’s not been afraid of anything in the house. Her coat is short and curly with touches of tan, and her little tail wags constantly. She responds well to being told no, and is not a barker. She walks nicely on a leash. She’s had all her vaccinations, is microchipped, and will be spayed shortly. Pixie is perfectly named—she is a happy, lively little girl who will bring joy and laughter to a forever home—hopefully yours!

Cockapoo Puppies

These darling 10 week old Cockapoo puppies are looking for a new home

The small one in the middle is a female and is named Gin.  The two on either side are males and are named Tonic and Boo.  All three have had their vaccinations.

These cuties were surrendered to a Colorado shelter because the owner had too many dogs and was unable to place them on his own.  Of course, they will need your care and patience to provide house- and obedience training as they mature.  At this age, they would adjust to any home and age group and should be able to socialize well with other dogs and cats.

If you are interested in meeting these puppies, please make sure you have completed an online adoption application.

Cooper

Cooper is a six year old white male Cocker Spaniel.  He has a full tail and weighs around 29 pounds.  Cooper is hearing-impaired and may be totally deaf, although he gets along just fine.  He was badly matted when he was found so we don’t know how long he had been stray or what his living conditions were prior to being picked up.  Cooper traveled all the way to Denver to find a new home.  He is neutered and up to date on all of his vaccinations.  RMCR will microchip him for his new owners.

He is a real lover. The only thing he desires is attention and love of his person. He doesn’t want just a little scratching; he wants long term attention! He is good with the other dogs and doesn’t display any aggression at all. So far, he seems to be housebroken and knows that the outside is where you do your business.  Cooper would make a fabulous addition to any home looking for a devoted pet.

Benji’s Happy Tale

Allen and Elaine with Benji

 When we first saw little Benji as his previous owner relinquished him due to her allergies we knew that he would not be in foster care for long. Cockapoos in general are very popular dogs, let alone a 14 month old cutie like this one. Allen and Elaine took no time at all in deciding that Benji belonged with them. Likewise, Benji made himself right at home by wandering into their bathroom and grabbing the toilet paper off the roll. Manners aside, he won their hearts immediately and now has a wonderful country home and parents who are home much of the time.

Travi

Travi has an adoption application pending!!

Travi is a four year old spayed female Cocker Spaniel that spent her life up until now in a puppy mill outside of Independence MO.  Luckily, the breeder decided to get out of the business of Cocker Spaniels, which is how she came to Colorado.  As with so many puppy mill dogs, Travi is a little shy and not very confident when it comes to new situations. 

She is a very sweet, gentle dog who loves to watch TV and chimes in with the sounds on the doggie TV shows.  She plays with the other dogs in her foster home and is learning to interact with them now that she’s no longer caged.  She’s a little timid when it comes to quick movements or loud noises.  She likes to sleep on her foster mom’s bed.  She is coming along nicely with her house training, however she will need patient and consistent reinforcement as she learns these new behaviors.

Travi has been recently spayed, micro-chipped and is up to date on all of her vaccinations.  Her beautiful white coat has a couple of tan spots and is quite silky as opposed to some fluffy Cocker Spaniel coats.  She would do best in a quiet environment without young children who might tend to scare her.  She would be fine in a home with other dogs and cats.

If you are interested in meeting Travi, please complete an online adoption application.

Sophie

Sophie has an adoption application pending!!

Sophie is a beautiful sweet white female Cockapoo.  Most dogs think they’re lap dogs: Sophie is pretty sure she’s either a parrot or a headrest!  Her favorite spot is on top of the back of the sofa where she can snuggle against your head and give you the occasional little kiss.  Sophie is fully house trained and a very loving little girl.  She gets along with the other dogs, does great in a car, and walks well on a leash.  She comes when called and knows: sit, off, lie down, shake hands, and cookie.  Sophie is two and one-half years old, spayed, and has all her shots.  This little lover will find a forever home very quickly.  

Sophie needs a home with older children.  She mistakes toddlers as competition and exhibits resource guarding around them.  She growls when they come too close to her toys and food.   She was very tolerant with older children at a recent adoption event.  We also do not know how she reacts to cats, so a cat-free home is recommended.  

If you are interested in meeting Sophie, please complete an online adoption application.

Benji

Benji already has an adoption application pending!!

Benji is an adorable 14 month old white male Cockapoo that is looking for a new home.  His former owner started exhibiting signs of asthma after Benji came to live with her, and although it broke her heart, she had to find a new home for him.

Benji is very friendly and energetic.  He’s house trained, crate trained, up to date on his vaccination and micro chipped.  He craves attention and loves to play with his toys.  Benji is good on a leash and is friendly with people and other dogs.

Mr Big and Prince

 

 Mr. Big and Prince are two five-month old male Cockapoos that came to us when their owner was forced to surrender them or be evicted from her home.  These cuties are from the same litter and have never been apart, so we would like to see them adopted together.  Mr. Big got his name because he is slightly larger than Prince. 

These little guys are up to date on the vaccinations that they can have at their age and have not yet been neutered, although hopefully we can take care of that before they are adopted.  They are not fully house trained, but are learning.  They also do well with kids, cats and other dogs, although young kids will need to be taught to be gentle with them.

Their former owner described them as gentle, playful, curious, very active, and friendly to visitors.  They like playing with toys, especially ones that squeek.  These little guys are still puppies and are still in a chewing stage, so their new owners will need to monitor them and take away anything that they are chewing that they are not supposed to.

If you are interested in meeting these two handsome lads, please fill out one of our online adoption forms.
