EXTRAORDINARY TEAM OF PASSIONATE DOG LOVERS

Our experienced team of directors and dozens of reliable volunteers rescue Cocker Spaniels when they face euthanasia or from owners who cannot care for their pets regards of the reason, as well as those from neglect or abandonment situations. Rescued dogs are placed in a foster home of pre-screened volunteers until a suitable forever home is found. Before the dogs are available for adoption, they are spayed or neutered, seen by a veterinarian for a health exam to identify and treat any health care issues, and brought up-to-date on the most common vaccinations. Many of these health exams include a full blood test and a dental cleaning. Our dogs also undergo a behavior evaluation to help determine what type of permanent home environment would allow them to thrive and succeed.

KANSAS & MISSOURI BRANCH MANAGER

Mi'Chielle Cooper

MiChielle has been rescuing dogs and dodging shed fur since 2007, when she launched her own nonprofit dog rescue in Kansas. In 2019, her organization merged with RMCR (Rocky Mountain Cocker Rescue), combining forces for even greater impact in the world of floppy ears and wagging tails.

She and her husband Jim live in the scenic Flint Hills near Saffordville, KS, where they’re lovingly outnumbered by their five Cocker Spaniels: CocoaBirdie, Ollie, Cappuccino, Macchiato, and Rumchata—yes, they named their dogs after beverages, and no, they have no regrets.
