| COCKERS IN NEED FAMILY TREE |
| Linda Ackerman ~ Director ~ Foster Mom Linda's been in love with dogs since she was a little girl. Recently, Linda's mom went thru some old family photos and noticed that pretty much EVERY picture of her was with dogs. Young Me Linda has been fostering Cockers (plus a few poo's) for 5 years. She's been a cocker mom for 12 years. She's also been studying Canine Nutrition for quite sometime. After 20 years in Accounting Management, Linda decided it would be more fun to groom cockers in her home. |

| Garry Ackerman ~ Treasurer ~ Yard Pickup Garry is our financial backer when the funds just aren't there. He's been involved since the very beginning, and always has a lap to share. He's also the poop flinger extroidinairre Sometimes he pretends to not get upset when one leaves, but we know better. |
 |
| Mike Kucharik ~ Shelter Coordinator ~ Foster Dad Mike has been a Cocker dad for a long time. He not only fosters for us, but has also adopted one or two :-) Mike keeps me alerted to the cockers in our local shelters. |
| Melinda Gordon ~ Shop Coordinator, Artist Melinda scours the internet, local shows and catalogs looking for just the right kinds of items for our shop. Melinda has also designed our note cards, special cocker trinket boxes, matted pictures and photo albums. She & her husband John adopted 3 of our rescue pups. Melinda is also a school teacher, and her class has donated to many of our needy pups. She's teaching them good values. |

| Sophia ~ My Niece ~ Vet in the making Fia has been KID testing all of our fosters for some time now. She knows TTouch and has a blast carrying the pups around and just plain spoiling them. Her sister Maggie is also part of this Puppy Massage Duo. Not one dog leaves here without them pampering and loving on them. |
| Mary Ellen Dunn ~ Transport Coordinator Mare has been bringing me sick little cockers in need for years now. Over 3 years ago, she adopted my very first foster cocker, Patrick. Since then, she's been a dedicated cocker mom and one of our transporters. Mare is a Project Manager for AAA |
 |
| Patti Berger ~ Transporter ~ Cocker Mom Patti fostered a rescue cocker for another group, but decided she just couldn't part with him. SO... since she can't be fostering (she has trouble giving them up), she goes and gets da-babies for us. Patti also comes up with lots of donations for the group too. |
