Cocker Spaniel puppies and dogs in Louisiana

I was gifted Gizmo in September 2019 by my husband. He is currently 7 years old. He has been the joy of our family. However, with busy teenagers and traveling for work, I have not been able to love on him like he deserves. Gizmo is a happy, pampered pup. He enjoys his grooming appointment and playing catch. He is a great companion for your favorite TV shows. I would love for his new home to be as active as he is. Full of life and a yard where he could run until his heart is content. A home with children is a plus. He would love to run and play with your little ones.

Meet Sugar, the sweet senior canine queen, longing for companionship and a loving place to finish her years! This gentle and affectionate lady is your perfect cuddle buddy, always ready to settle in for a cozy movie night or a quiet afternoon on the couch, yet still spry enough for a short morning walk. Sugar’s friendly demeanor makes her a joy to be around, and she’s sure to bring a smile to your face with her loving nature. She's friendly with other dogs and potty trained too! Ready to give this lovely lady the retirement she deserves? Sugar's story... Her owner took very good care of her and sadly passed away. She was on her way to the shelter when no one in the family could take her in. No place for a sweet senior lady to be, so she was taken into the rescue.

(For more pics, visit nr2r.petfinder.com or www.RoadtoRescueLA.org) INSTRUCTIONS TO APPLY: PLEASE read profile thoroughly BEFORE applying: DOG APPLICATION LINK:     http://www.roadtorescuela.org/dog-application Zeppelin (male) Intake date:  9/27/2026 Cocker Spaniel 3 years old as of 2026 Intake weight:  27.2 pounds Adoption fee:  $200, which includes vetting, microchip Good with other dogs:  yes Cats:  yes Vetting and other:  altered (neutered), up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm negative, fecal negative, on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention, professional groom, microchipped Health issues:  none observed. Temperament:  very sweet, social, friendly, curious, innocence personified! Energy level:  medium Groom needs:  high maintenance;  requires regular professional grooming, along with intermittent brushing to avoid matting Biography:  Zeppelin came to us as an owner-surrender.  The owner took him in to help a friend who could not have the dog where he lived.  The original owner didn't want him back and the current owner wasn't home enough to take care of him.  He posted him on-line for free and got A LOT of people wanting him, but we we also tagged multiple times in the post.  We reached out and well, here he is!   Here's what we were told (and what we've learned about him since coming to us) about this handsome boy:   He is social and friendly and loves everyone.  He is curious and playful.  We were told he was housetrained but we can never guarantee that since he'll be transitioning from us to you.  He travels well and walks well on a leash.  He does fine during grooming.  He is responsive and knows some  commands although we weren't told what they are.  We do believe he knows "sit"... but may  know other commands as well.  He is responsive when called which is a great trait for a dog.  He does great in a kennel if needed... as he was in a kennel with us while he recovered from his neuter and when he first came to us.  He's a good boy looking for his Cocker Spaniel- loving family!   **WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW** *We do adopt out of state provided the adopter is willing and able to travel to us once approved.  We do not ship or transport our animals and there is no exception to this rule. *Most of our adoptable dogs are small, and they are never to be left outside alone, ever!  We only rehome our dogs to adopters that plan to have them as inside dogs and part of the family!   We do allow adopters with doggie doors, provided there is SECURE fencing and the dog is over 15 pounds.  There is no exception to this rule! *PREDATORS:    IF THIS DOG IS UNDER 10 POUNDS, the dog is to be monitored and protected when outside at all times!  PREDATOR-THREAT IS A REAL DANGER!  For example, a hawk tried to pick up a Chihuahua owned by a friend visiting Ninna’s house… RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE VISITOR.  Thankfully the visitor was watching the dog and the hawk was wrestled off of the Chihuahua but it did require an ER visit and she is was very lucky to survive.   TAKE IT SERIOUSLY!   *NO SMALL CHILDREN!!  As with almost all the dogs at NR2R, young children or a very active household is not recommended.   Many of our dogs come to us BECAUSE of small children, thus we do not rehome our dogs to homes with babies or young children.  KEEP THIS IN MIND IF YOU HAVE VISITING GRANDCHILDREN AS WELL!  Even if the children are older, it would depend on the child AND the parent or parents.  *HOUSETRAINING:  We do NOT guarantee that any of our adoptable dogs are housetrained.   While most should be easily trained, keep in mind that they live in a rescue where they have access to the outdoors all day and are inside at night.  Even if they were surrendered to us as housetrained, it doesn’t mean they will automatically be housetrained in your home.  Housetraining them should be easy in the right home with time, patience, and consistency.  *KENNELING:  We always recommend kenneling when you cannot supervise your dog.  This helps with housetraining and any destructive tendencies until you get to know your new addition. *We do not guarantee the age, health or temperament of any of the dogs we rehome.  Many of the dogs we take in come from animal control and rarely do we have histories and even when we do, many times the histories are inaccurate. *Only adopters with a responsible dog ownership history and excellent vet reference need apply.   If you bring this pet into your heart and home, you will receive in return many years of love, companionship, and loyalty.  That’s our guarantee.   Other notes:  This pet is available for adoption through Ninna’s Road to Rescue, Benton, La.  We are 501c3 non-profit organization.  Our mission is to rescue primarily small-breed dogs and to re-home them into RESPONSIBLE and CARING forever homes.    DOG APPLICATION LINK:   http://www.roadtorescuela.org/dog-application Time may be of the essence if you are looking to adopt a specific animal.  We do not reserve animals, unless and until we have approved your application, provided the animal is still available at the time we receive your application.  The first APPROVED application we receive will be considered.  We are NOT a first come, first serve rescue!! We adopt our rescues out to the RIGHT home, not just A home. Only responsible pet owners need apply. Applying to adopt does NOT commit you to the adoption NOR does it guarantee the adoption. CONTACT:  Our adoptable pets are updated regularly, but if you want to check the availability of a pet... OR still have questions AFTER reading this profile, message us via our Facebook page.   Please indicate the name when communicating with us. www.RoadtoRescueLA.org    “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”  ~ Gandhi Be responsible ~  Always spay/neuter, keep your dogs on heartworm prevention, vaccinate against disease... and if you bring a pet into your life, commit to that pet for life.  Blessings.
