Below are pictures and bios of dogs that have recently gone to their Forever Homes. We keep their pictures on this page for about a month or so, to make sure that the adoption really works out. Plus, this gives the regular visitors to our web site a chance to follow the comings and goings of their favorite cocker kids.

Mary-Kate and Ashley are not identical twins, but we suspect these tightly bonded sisters are litter-mates. Found near an abandoned chemical plant on the Texas Gulf Coast these girls had spent several days expectantly waiting for their family to come back for them. They reluctantly came home with the rescue volunteers who wanted to bring them to safety before a coyote or gator had them for lunch. We would like to place these two year old girls together because they are so bonded - they sleep curled up together every night. Mary-Kate is finishing heartworm treatment but amazingly Ashley tested negative. They are crate trained and would make good use of a doggy door. Both are very sweet. They are laid-back and quiet dogs. In this case, caring for two dogs would be just as easy as one. Mary-Kate is more outgoing and Ashley can be a little shy.

Sugar and spice and everything nice...that's what little girls are made of. Heidi is a precious 1 year old female who came to us with two broken toes that hadn't completely healed. Now the toes have healed, but Heidi may have some nerve damage, so she continues to limp. Heidi loves to run and play, cuddle, and lie on the deck in the morning sun. Like the little girl in the book written over 100 years ago, Heidi is every mothers dream. She is an absolute sweetheart and doggy door trained. This little girl is a doll!

What's the Buzz? Tell me what's happening
- Andrew Lloyd Webber & Tim Rice

If you like being in the "Buzz" of things you will LOVE cocker Buzz. This 2-3 year old superstar is tall, dark and handsome. He can be a real charmer. Buzz would be tickled pick to find an "out of this world" family who would love him to infinity and beyond. He loves people but this chipper little guy would be happiest in a home with no other dogs.

Skip to my Lu Lu darling!

Lulu is an adorable 1 year old female Cockapoo. She may look like a poodle but she has the charming personality of a Cocker Spaniel. She loves to go for walks and enjoys running in the dog park but she's also content just curling up in a comfy spot and chewing on her nylabone or snuggling up next to her favorite human. This precious little girl appears to be totally housetrained and will skip her way into your heart in an instant.

Tucker was a lanky 2-3 year old chocolate and white male who came to us scraggy and malnourished and was merely skin-and-bones. But not anymore. This once scrawny little guy is eating well and thriving. He is getting stronger every day and filling out nicely. His personality is evolving too. He is no longer lethargic. He enjoys romping and playing with his foster brothers and sisters.

Lola was about six months old when we pulled her out of a shelter. She was diagnosed with a possible tumor near the eye socket which was displacing her eye. During the process of clearing Lola for surgery the doctors saw an enlarged heart on her chest x-ray. Fearing a serious heart problem, an anonymous donor paid for an ultrasound/echo test. To our amazement, it revealed that Lola's heart is normal and healthy. The enlargement was her liver and gall bladder protruding through a diaphragmatic hernia necessitating immediate surgery. To wait may cost her life. Lola had successful surgery on Friday, August 06, 2010. An out-of-state family who will take good care of Lola has adopted and taken her to a new forever home.

Little Miss Libby is about 2 - 3 yrs old and came to Cocker Inn in horrible shape. Suffering from the mange, she had bald spots all over her as you can see in her "before" picture. Now all of her dead hair has been trimmed so her new beautiful silky coat can all grow back even. Libby loves kitty cats (likes to groom them) and gets along with other dogs as well. She loves kids, too, so she would make an awesome family dog.

If you love snuggling up with a good book in the rain, then you'll LOVE a good book while snuggling up with Rayne. Rayne is a fabulous designer Cocker Spaniel/Bassett Hound blend who is as adorable as they come. She is 3-4 years old, knows how to "sit up" and appears to be housetrained. Her ears had to be shaved because they were matted, but when they grow back out, she will have the long curly ears of a Cocker Spaniel and the charming short legs of a Bassett Hound. Remember, life is like a rainbow and you need both the sun and the rain to make its color appear. Without rain, there would be no rainbow and Rayne is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Meet high jumping Brinkley. Brinkley is a vibrant 1-2 year old male with a natural tail that is always wagging. But because he is a natural athlete, he can jump and climb right over a chain link fence so he will require a home with a tall wood fence. This happy guy agrees with the H. W. Byles quote, "cheerfulness is what greases the axles of the world" and he has no intention of going through life creaking. This is one joyful little guy!

Why someone wasn't looking for this beautiful red sable puppy is a mystery to us! Of course, maybe it was because she had mange. Tara was just three months old and found wandering loose. No one came to the shelter to look for her. So she sat there. Waiting. Until her time was up. Cocker Rescue took in this stinky little puppy and nursed her back to health. She is a very sweet little girl. Tara is now four to five months old and quite a live wire. Her adult teeth are beginning to come in so be prepared for chewing if you adopt this little doll.

There was a farmer who had a dog,
And Bingo was his name-o.

B-I-N-G-O
B-I-N-G-O
And Bingo was his name-o.

We don't know how the farmer treated his dog, but we do know that Bingo's previous owner didn't take proper care of him. Because Bingo didn't get a dose of affordable, monthly heartworm medicine, he hadto go through dangerous heartworm treatment. He survived the treatment and now this precious 3-4 year old buff and white male is ready for his forever home.
