"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it"
-Matthew 13:45,46 As an animal lover can you imagine abandoning a senior dog at a shelter, setting loose a deaf dog to be hit by a car or a blind dog to be attacked by other dogs? Unfortunately we run across this scenario several times a month. We would love to accept more of these senior dogs but are limited by lack of foster spots and adoptive homes. Pearl was fortunate to wind up in one of the more compassionate shelters who allowed her to sit there for months. She was estimated at eight years old; had cherry eyes, was blind and hard of hearing. In short, not very adoptable. Clearly she would soon be put down. Yet there was something so endearing about Pearl that even though the Cocker Inn was full, we somehow made room for her.
In just a month Pearl has come to life. No longer does she sleep her life away. She wants to be in the middle of things. She actively explores her foster home inside and out. She is making friends with her foster siblings. She enjoys meeting people. Her tail wags so much it makes her whole back end move. She waits patiently for treats, enjoys walking on a leash and getting belly rubs. Pearl may be sensory deprived, but she is a typical cocker spaniel. Many people are reluctant to adopt or foster a senior dog primarily because they don't want to get emotionally involved with a dog that may not be with them long. But whether our cocker kids are old or young, with special needs or not, what they all have in common is the unconditional love they return to the human who offers it. Help us save more dogs like Pearl through adoption or becoming a "Forever Foster" home. If you can open your heart to one of our senior dogs, please e-mail cockerinfo@swbell.net or leave a message on our hotline, 713-208-1314. |
Cocker Spaniel Alumni Reunion ~ Sunday, September 12
Cocker Spaniel Rescue Spokespup, Trio, reminds CSR Alumni to circle Sunday, September 12, 2010, on their calendars. There's going to be a Cocker Kids reunion at Pet Paradise Resort on Monroe Road, near Hobby Airport. Trio is looking forward to catching up with his friends that have passed through the Cocker Inn. And another thing. . . Trio reminds us that it will really help the humans serve us if they have some idea how many to expect. So, if all the Cocker Kids who think they might be coming would send an email to lavenderbluedeux@aol.com it would help with the planning. And be sure to include how many humans each cocker kid will bring. The reunion will be from 1 to 4 pm and is bound to be great fun with lots to do. Of course Trio will be there, and we'll have games, food and door prizes. Not only will you get a chance to meet and mingle with Cocker Kid Alumni, but there will be several current residents of The Cocker Inn there to meet CSR Success Stories and learn what it takes to get adopted. And of course we'll be holding one of our fantastic raffles! Our Raffle Coordinator has pulled together a great collection of items including an iPod, a wine basket, some artwork and lots of other neat stuff. If you can't make it to the reunion, but still want a chance to win one of these cool items, you can send an email to the Raffle Coordinator at cockerkids10@aol.com. You don't even have to be present to win!
