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.

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"

Carly
5 year old buff & white parti cocker with adorable little freckles all over her nose.
She is now spayed and ready for her new home.  She would do best as an only dog as she loves to be spoiled and hog all the toys.  Doggy door trained, loves to be hugged.
Dilly
4-5 year old male black miniature poodle.  He's neutered, up to date on all vetting and ready for his new home.  He's shy, but learning how to trust.  Is a great little guy.  He's about 14 pounds.  Needs a fenced yard, doggy door trained.  Sleeps with us in bed and loves it. 
Update:  Dilly learned how to take french fries from my lips..   yip!!!!

Poor little Boo Boo Baby

We were notified this 5-6 month old pup was in dire need.  He was hit by a car and has a mid-shaft fracture of the femur.  The owners surrendered him to the vet office, they couldn't afford the surgery we suspect.
