Cocker Spaniel puppies and dogs in Burbank, California

Meet Jackson! 13 years old, 25 pounds, and quite possibly the sweetest gentleman you’ll ever meet! This adorable cocker spaniel found himself at the West LA Shelter after his owner became homeless, and we were lucky enough to bring him into our rescue. Jackson is truly the PERFECT boy. He loves everyone, gets along beautifully with other dogs, is potty trained, and is just an absolute dream to have around. He does have a heart murmur, so we’re still working through his medical needs, but we’d love to find his forever family now so he can start enjoying his new life! Of course, we’ll cover ALL of his medical expenses, and his adoption won’t be finalized until his medical care is complete. Jackson deserves the happiest next chapter, and whoever gets to love this sweet boy is going to be incredibly lucky.     ##2864213##

Welcome to Camp Cocker Rescue, Doc! UPDATE (10/24/26): DOC HAS SOME VERY EXCITING NEWS TO SHARE!! 🎉 Doc has just had his four week post-op recheck, as well as x-rays of his left knee. The healing is going well and the extra good news is that because Doc is no longer putting additional strain on his right knee when he walks, his doctor does not believe he will need knee surgery on the right side. He will, of course, need continued physical therapy for awhile. He has a lot of atrophy in the rear left leg as a result of not using that leg properly since birth. With his current foster, he is getting daily physical therapy, but once he’s adopted, a reasonable P.T. schedule might go something like twice a week now, then as he gets stronger, go to once a week, then go to every other week, etc. Depending on how well his legs respond, it could be six more months of physical therapy. So much has to do with how his legs respond. IN CASE YOU’RE ONLY RECENTLY DISCOVERING DOC, HERE’S HIS STORY: We rescued this handsome tri-color Cocker Spaniel from the Harbor Shelter in San Pedro, CA. He had several medical issues that needed attention. He came to us emaciated, his hips and ribs prominent due to no fat and muscle loss. His rear legs with some ataxia (showing incoordination). His ears were infected, and his teeth showed heavy tartar. For the past 6 months, Doc has been getting “the works” to treat all of these conditions. Gold star treatment all the way! For starters, Doc had a cardiologist work up and was diagnosed with Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM). This disease weakens the heart muscles and can prevent them from effectively pumping blood. He’s been placed on heart medication called Pimobendan (aka Vetmedin) as well as Taurine supplements to support heart health. The good news is that he can now safely undergo anesthesia for surgery! Doc has required neuter, lip fold, and dental surgeries. He also required surgery for his left knee (that knee was completely out of the socket, with bone rubbing on bone) which would continue to need to be followed by physical therapy. It was anticipated that he would then need to have right knee surgery (that knee that was luxating in and out of the socket) followed by continued physical therapy. The good news in our update is that he will not need right knee surgery! Whew! We know, that’s a lot to go through, but we believe it’s worth it to give Doc the chance to have a pain-free life! In the mean time, he’s been thoroughly enjoying his foster home and siblings, and seems to understand that our whole community is sending love his way! *Age is always an estimate based on veterinary examination.

Welcome to Camp Cocker, Hero! *Hero is being fostered in San Luis Obispo, Ca. Hero was relinquished to us by his owners. Although his family loved him with all of their hearts, their life circumstances prevented them from being able to manage his healthcare needs. The owners truly loved them and struggled to do their best for this sweet dog. Hero is sweet with people he knows, but having missed out on socialization in the real world, he’s not used to walks, meeting strangers, going to the vet, groomer, or anywhere in public! Hero has led a very sheltered life so far and because he has been co-dependent on his littermates, his own confidence has been stunted. He will do best in a home with another confident dog so he can have someone to model how a dog handles real world experiences. It’s amazing to see how much happier and less-stressed littermates can become once they have a chance to fly on their own. We are so excited for Hero to experience this freedom and to find his self-assuredness. ›>› CAMP COCKER RECOMMENDS: For current status, updates, photos, videos & details about Hero, please visit her webpage at https://www.campcocker.com/dog/hero-2025 & also follow our social media. *Hero is being fostered in San Luis Obispo, Ca.

WELCOME TO CAMP COCKER RESCUE, NICOLE! *Nicole is being fostered in Los Angeles County Nicole, originally from Mongolia, joined Cocker Friends Korea in March 2026  to facilitate her arrival in America in October 2026. Nicole’s Personality & Daily Life 1. Does Nicole like people? Nicole absolutely loves people. She especially enjoys gentle head scratches and neck rubs. She does need a little time to build trust before she’s comfortable with someone touching sensitive areas like her paws or belly. If a stranger reaches for those areas too quickly, she may growl to communicate that she’s uncomfortable. Once she trusts you, she’ll happily roll over for belly rubs. 2. How is she with other dogs? Nicole can be uncomfortable when unfamiliar dogs approach her closely, especially on walks. She may growl if she notices another dog, even from a distance. Interestingly, in off-leash environments with several dogs, she tends to ignore them rather than interact. She also has a strong prey drive toward cats, so we do not recommend a home with cats. 3. How does she do when left alone? Nicole does very well on her own. She may whine briefly when she sees her person getting ready to leave, but she settles quickly. While alone, she is quiet, relaxed, and usually spends her time sleeping. 4. Does she enjoy walks? She loves going for walks! During her foster stay, she enjoyed three walks a day. She walks nicely on a leash and naturally matches her handler’s pace, making her a very pleasant walking companion. 5. Is she house-trained? Nicole is almost completely potty trained outdoors. During the four months in foster care, she only had two indoor accidents at the very beginning. Since then, she has consistently gone potty outside during her walks. 6. Favorite toys or games? She absolutely loves balls! She also enjoys plush toys, but balls are definitely her favorite. If she’s awake, there’s a good chance she’s carrying one around. Fetch is one of her favorite activities. 7. Is she afraid of anything? Nicole doesn’t like sudden handling, such as being picked up unexpectedly or touched without warning. She still needs a little time to build trust, so it’s best to let her approach at her own pace and allow the relationship to develop naturally. 8. How does she do with a crate? Nicole is comfortable using a crate or kennel. It’s not her favorite place, but with treats and positive reinforcement, she settles in without difficulty. 9. How is she for grooming and veterinary care? Nicole finds veterinary exams and ear cleaning very stressful and may try to bite if she feels frightened or restrained. Extra care and proper handling are important during these situations. Baths and having her paws washed after walks, however, are no problem. She stays calm and cooperative. 10. Has she ever bitten or shown guarding behavior? If Nicole feels uncomfortable, she may react defensively. The important thing is that she gives very clear warnings first by growling. She uses her growl to communicate that she’s uncomfortable rather than biting without warning. Respecting her signals and giving her space prevents most situations from escalating. She will do best with someone who understands dog body language and is willing to build trust patiently. 11. How is her appetite? Nicole has a great appetite and enjoys both kibble and treats. She even loves vegetables like carrots. Because she has liver disease, she is currently on a carefully managed diet and does not eat meat or high-protein foods. Her adopter should continue working with a veterinarian to maintain the appropriate diet. 12. Energy level Nicole enjoys playtime and can be playful and energetic, but once she’s had fun, she’s happy to relax. She’s very well-mannered in the house, doesn’t get into things, and settles easily. If she’s told “no,” she accepts it calmly instead of insisting. 13. What makes Nicole special? Nicole loves making eye contact and connecting with her people. Once she trusts someone, she forms a deep, loyal bond. She has wonderful house manners—she doesn’t destroy things, raid the trash, or create trouble around the house. She eats well, sleeps well, enjoys her walks and playtime, and has reliable potty habits. Nicole simply needs someone who will respect her boundaries, listen to her communication, and let trust grow at her own pace. In return, she’ll become an incredibly loving and devoted companion. ❤️🐾 Nicole has some medical issues that are currently being managed with liver and kidney supplements. She is not in liver failure, nor kidney failure, and she does not currently require medication or prescription food, but they may be in her future. She will need bloodwork every 3-4 months to keep an eye on her levels, and monitor her status. *Please note that any age provided is only an estimate, based on veterinary examination.  CAMP COCKER RECOMMENDS: For current status, updates, photos, videos & details about Nicole, please visit his webpage at https://www.campcocker.com/dog/Nicole-2026 & also follow our social media. *Nicole is being fostered in Los Angeles County APPLY TO ADOPT Nicole at www.campcocker.com/adoption-process #CampCockerNicole

Welcome to Camp Cocker, Dory! Sweet Dory (formerly known as DangDang) has spent her life in a South Korean puppy mill. She was rescued in April 2026 by our rescue partners, Cocker Rescue Korea, who have been providing her with medical care and a loving foster home for the months since her rescue. She will be traveling to the US sometime in the Fall. According to her South Korean fosters, Dory’s greatest charm is her small, sweet, affectionate personality. She has a baby-faced appearance and a gentle way of following her caregiver from place to place, quietly staying close and asking for affection. Because she is emotionally soft and sensitive, she is the kind of dog who responds best to reassurance, consistency, and a gentle household atmosphere. Overall, Dory is an exceptionally affectionate, low-energy, easy-to-handle Cocker who is loving, cooperative, quiet, and easy to live with. PERSONALITY & DAILY LIFE: People Dory absolutely loves people and has shown very little stranger anxiety in foster care. She appears especially drawn to men. For a Cocker Spaniel, she is exceptionally affectionate and physically cuddly: she likes sitting on a lap, pressing closely against her person, and staying right beside the caregiver. Physical closeness seems to give her a strong sense of comfort and security. Other Dogs Dory can be cautious when another dog suddenly approaches directly toward her face. (We believe this is because she only has one eye.) She showed this initially with the dog in her foster home as well. Once she decides that the other dog is not threatening, however, she can coexist comfortably and has even begun to rely on the resident dog for reassurance. In general, she is not highly interested in other dogs and prefers peaceful, low-pressure interactions. Separation / Alone Time No meaningful separation anxiety has been observed. When left alone, Dory is generally quiet and simply rests. She also sleeps separately without difficulty. She may bark once or twice if she hears dogs barking outside, but because of her prior vocal-cord surgery, little to no audible barking is heard. Walks Dory loves going for walks and may wait near the interior door when she wants to go outside. Her leash manners are generally good and she tends to follow the handler’s direction rather than pull strongly. She enjoys walking with her nose down and carefully sniffing the ground. Because she is extremely food motivated and may try to pick up edible items outdoors, close supervision is important. Potty Habits Dory primarily uses indoor potty areas, but she is also able to toilet outdoors. Her foster home has found her routine manageable. Toys and Play She has not shown strong interest in toys so far. Her enjoyment appears to come more from being near people, walking, sniffing, eating, and quietly moving around the home than from structured toy play. Fears / Sensitivities Dory may occasionally startle if a hand suddenly moves toward her face. This does not happen consistently, but it is understandable given that she has only one eye. Like many dogs, she can also be startled by loud sounds, although her reactions are generally mild and she appears relatively easygoing rather than highly sensitive. She may respond defensively toward dogs that rush into her face or bark aggressively at her, but otherwise she remains peaceful. Crate / Kennel Dory has not required formal crate training, but she is very cooperative and will generally enter a crate or carrier when guided. Her foster caregiver describes her as exceptionally easy to manage. Grooming, Veterinary Care, and Handling Routine care is very easy. Her foster describes the handling difficulty level as very low: during grooming, ear care, paw handling, and other basic care, Dory tends to relax and simply allow the caregiver to proceed. This makes day-to-day maintenance particularly manageable. Bite / Guarding History No bite incidents have been observed in foster care. Her only notable boundary is around direct face-to-face pressure from another dog or a dog that approaches her aggressively. Outside of those situations, she is calm and non-confrontational. No resource guarding has been reported. Appetite Dory is extremely food motivated. In her foster caregiver’s words, if it tastes good, she will eat almost anything. She enjoys regular food, treats, fruits, and vegetables, and even takes powdered medication easily when it is mixed into her meal. Because she may also try to scavenge food during walks, household and outdoor food management will be important. Energy Level and Home Behavior On a scale where 10 is very high energy, her foster estimates Dory at approximately 3–4. She is calm, does not run around excessively, and is comfortable quietly exploring the home or staying close to her person. She may be even quieter in a home without another dog. Adoption Considerations A family that enjoys a very affectionate dog who prefers close physical companionship. A calm household where correction is gentle and consistent. Thoughtful introductions to other dogs, especially avoiding sudden direct face-to-face approaches. Extra awareness around her blind/right side and sudden hand movements near the face because she has only one eye. Careful food management indoors and outdoors because of her very strong appetite and tendency to pick up food on walks. Routine monitoring of the remaining eye and periodic dental and senior wellness care. She may live with another compatible, calm dog after an appropriate introduction, but she does not require canine companionship to be content. Overall: Dory is a gentle, people-loving, low-energy Cocker with excellent home manners and an exceptionally affectionate nature. Her medical needs are currently manageable, and her foster experience suggests that she will thrive with a calm family who values close companionship, gentle handling, and steady routine. CURRENT MEDICAL STATUS / ONGOING CARE: October 3, 2026 – Initial Examination Dory received a comprehensive health examination at Dr. Pet Animal Hospital in South Korea. Her general condition was considered good. Dory is currently doing well in daily life. Her main long-term considerations are routine care of her remaining eye, dental maintenance after recent treatment, and standard senior-dog wellness monitoring. She has only one functional eye; the remaining eye should be monitored for discharge, redness, squinting, cloudiness, or any change in vision. Her ears were healthy at the most recent recheck, but routine Cocker Spaniel ear maintenance remains appropriate. Dental disease has been treated, but periodic oral examinations are recommended. Routine senior wellness examinations and repeat bloodwork can be considered based on the adopting veterinarian’s recommendations. *Dory appears to have had previous vocal-cord/debarking surgery before rescue; as a result, her bark is extremely quiet or nearly inaudible Stay tuned as more details, photos, and videos become available *Please note that any age provided is an estimate, based on veterinary examination.
