About Shorewood Cocker Rescue, Inc.
Shorewood Cocker Rescue, Inc. has been in existence since 1985 and we have rehomed hundreds of Cocker Spaniels since then. In 2001 SCR became a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a Board of Directors. Our organization is run by volunteers and all of the dog's taken into our program are placed in foster homes where they live as much loved family members until we can find an approved and appropriate forever home for each of them. We make a life time commitment to every dog taken into our program. We take as many cockers as we possibly can as private surrenders, from shelters, from places where dogs are just held for 7 days and then put down if not reclaimed, mill and commercial breeding operations. We do not turn a dog down based on it's age and are very successful with rehoming senior dogs as well as rehilabitating and shy mill dogs.
We do what we do out of love for the breed and wanting to help as many cockers needing help as we possibly can.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
