| Cockers in Need |
| We are a small group of volunteers dedicated to saving Cockers in Need & give them a new start at the good life. All of our dogs are up to date on shots, vetted, neutered or spayed, and on heartworm preventative. We are located in the Southeastern part of Pennsylvania. |

| Butternut's Almond Joy My reason for Rescue |
| This is what could have happened to ANY of the dogs on this page FATE |
| Cockers in Need is not a shelter. We do all fostering in our homes, and don't put our rescues down because of space or time limits. We are in desperate need of more foster homes. Currently, we only have 4 homes that can foster for us and they are full. If you are interested in helping us, please send me an email. THANK YOU |
| GROOMING |
| Cocker Spaniels are a high maintenance breed. It's very important to brush your pet daily, or at least a few times a week. You'll also need to have him or her groomed. You can find a decent groomer by going into the shops and asking questions and looking around. OR, you can buy the tools to do it yourself. OR, you can have the cat do it :-) |

| 1. We prefer a fenced in yard. 2. No children under 10 years old. 3. We would also like to see the dogs eat a natural diet, as opposed to dog foods found in a grocery store. 4. Yes, we are strict. We do it for the dogs. 5. Vet references and a home check should be expected. 6. We also reserve the right to check up on the dog after he/she has been adopted. 7. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF COCKERS IN NEED: WHEN YOU APPLY FOR A PUPPY, PLEASE BE PREPARED TO BRING IN YOUR PUP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. WE WILL NOT HOLD YOUR DOG AND LET THAT DOG POSSIBLY MISS AN OPPORTUNITY AT A GOOD HOME WHILE YOU HEM AND HAW AROUND. THERE IS NO TIME FOR THAT IN RESCUE, AS WE DON'T WANT OTHERS TO DIE WHILE YOU'RE WAITING TO DECIDE. IF YOU SEND IN AN APP, PLEASE BE COMMITTED. Thanks for understanding, "it's about the dogs" Garry Ackerman |
