Cockers & Friends, Incorporated

Our mission is to provide rescue, rehabilitation, counseling, transitional placement and supporting services for Spaniels & mixed breed dogs, while promoting a positive and professional rescue image through employing best practices used by successful businesses.

We offer a variety of services to meet the needs of an existing or potential dog owner. Our goal is to keep dogs from ending up in shelters. We provide temporary and long term fostering for people facing difficult situations that will allow them to keep their pets (military deployments, domestic abuse, owner illness, loss of home to foreclosure/fire/other disaster). We raise funds for the rescue by providing boarding services in our foster homes for dogs whose owners do not want them to be kenneled.

We also provide traditional rescue services for spaniels and spaniel mixes.

Additional adoption info

Once a potential adopter meets and identifies a dog he would like to adopt, he must complete an adoption applicaiton. If the application is approved, a home check is performed to ensure the home/family and dog are compatible. If the adoption is approved, the adopter completes an adoption contract and pays a $300 adoption fee. Once the dog is placed in the home, the adopter must take the dog to his own vet within 1 week. At the conclusion of a 2 week trial period, the adoption is marked "final."
