Our ultimate goal is to rehabilitate cocker spaniels and find them a loving home. In order to achieve our goal, we ask many questions to make sure the dog and the adopter are the best match. Please understand that when you fill out our adoption application questionnaire. We require a home visit, a vet reference and an adoption fee. The fee is used to help pay the vet bills we incur when getting our cockers up-to-date on shots, heartworm tested, teeth cleaned, neutered/spayed, and any other surgeries required.

Many of the cockers in our rescue come from homes that were not prepared to own a dog. Because the dogs are not properly socialized and trained, they end up in shelters where they will be put down if rescues dont take them in.

We use crate training and positive reinforcement. It takes time but the rewards are unbelievable once a dog is taught what is expected of them. Patience and a regular schedule are two very important parts of training. We encourage all of our new moms and dads to continue with the same type of training we use.

We also believe in a good diet. This means no grocery store food, and preferably a food that doesnt contain wheat, corn, yeast, soy, BHA, BHT, and chemical preservatives. Our foster dogs are fed Nutro Natural unless they have special needs.
