Story
Are you looking for a devoted companion who will brighten your days with a wagging nub? Let us introduce you to Poshey, a charming senior Cocker Spaniel who still has plenty of love—and fetch—left in her!
Okay, let’s be real. Poshey is as sweet and sour as a margarita. Most of the time, Poshey is a happy girl with a wagging nub to prove it. Occasionally, her inner cray-cray makes its way to the surface and she becomes slightly unhinged. No, she does not have a bite history. She has, however, looked and sounded like the velociraptors on Jurassic Park. Her foster mama can clue you in to what triggers her capricious mood swings.
While she is a senior, Poshey acts much younger, especially when there is a plush toy involved! She absolutely loves fetch and will happily chase a toy in a secure yard or a long hallway. She will literally toss it at your feet when she is ready for the next throw. Poshey also enjoys walks, exploring the neighborhood, and taking in all the smells. She finds them energizing. All walks must be topped off by a quick session of fetch. It’s her rule. We don’t argue.
After her adventures, she is a lovely companion to have sitting nearby while you read or watch TV. Need a sous chef? Poshey will stay close to the drop zone, ever at your heels, in the event you drop a morsel of something she finds palatable. Poshey has been through a lot recently and is ready to put her past behind her and enjoy her golden years.
Poshey has had a comprehensive "makeover" to ensure she is comfortable, including a dental with multiple extractions and successful bladder stone removal. She also had cherry eye surgery. She is now feeling much better, though she requires a loving home that will keep up with her necessary care.
Though she is a Spaniel, Poshey doesn't understand the necessities essential for her luxurious double coat—she hates grooming! Brushing and grooming sessions are scary and very stressful for her. She will need an adopter who is patient and understanding with her aversion to being groomed and who is comfortable taking her to a professional groomer who specializes in handling "challenging" seniors.
Poshey requires a calm, patient, adult-only home. She deserves a stable environment to thrive in. Because she has had surgery for bladder stones, she may need a specialized diet to prevent future issues. Poshey would love a home with a secure yard, as nothing quite tops rolling around in the grass.
Poshey is house trained and crate trained. She is trustworthy to roam free in the house. She coexists beautifully but does not engage with the other dogs in her foster home.
If you are looking for a sweet, slightly salty, but entirely devoted senior girl to take on walks and play fetch with, Poshey is your match!
