Hello there! My name is Aton, and I’m a 4-year-old, 34-pound cocker spaniel with a story to tell. I was found wandering as a stray in rural Georgia and ended up in the county shelter, but the wonderful people there worked with Florida Coastal Cocker Rescue to give me a second chance at a great life. I arrived terribly matted, but after a fabulous spa day at Green Dog Spa in Jacksonville, I feel and look pawtastic!
Let me tell you about my personality: I’m super sweet, incredibly smart, and I LOVE people. I’m a certified velcro cocker, which means I will follow you absolutely everywhere—and I mean it! After being abandoned once, I just don’t like being left alone (I cry and bark), and I need someone who understands that and can be home with me most of the time (no condos or apartments for me). I adore being petted and I’m happiest when I’m snuggled up in a cozy dog bed, nesting in blankets on the couch, or yes, sneaking into your bed for some quality human time.
I’m mostly housebroken and will even go to the door to let you know when I need to go out, but I do need a refresher and a regular potty schedule to keep me on track. I’m good on the leash, great on walks, and I love car rides. I get along wonderfully with other dogs, and I might be ok with older, dog-savvy kids who know how to interact respectfully with pups like me. I also have a fun quirky side—I love to play fetch with a tennis ball (though I might hold onto it for a bit before giving it back), and I get VERY excited when I see delivery trucks and love to follow (chase) them.
Now, a few things my forever family should know: I’m a treasure hunter and will get into trash cans if they’re not secured, and I can be a bit protective of my “finds,” so I need someone who can redirect me gently and keep temptation out of reach. I’m currently being treated for ear infections, and this is important—I need a cocker-savvy adopter who understands the breed and will commit to regular ear cleaning and grooming. I don’t like my ears being touched and will let you know it (I can get grumbly), so I need someone patient and experienced who knows how to handle me with care and understanding.
If you’re an experienced cocker spaniel adopter who’s home most of the time, ready to give me structure, love, and the medical care I need, I promise to be your loyal shadow and bring so much joy into your life. Please take a chance on me…I’m ready to give you my whole heart.
