Cocker Spaniel puppies and dogs in Georgetown, Ontario

🐶 Looking for a New Family for Lego 📍 Location: New York Lego was adopted as a young puppy but was sadly surrendered by his owner after three years. He grew up in an unstable environment with frequent travel back and forth to Boston, which made it difficult for him to form a secure attachment with his guardian. Because of this instability, in moments of fear, panic, or overwhelming stress, he has shown a few defensive or warning bites Lego needs a family who can meet him in person, understand his behavior clearly, and provide the consistent, reassuring environment he needs. City life is simply too overwhelming for him. With a quiet environment and a patient, steady guardian, Lego has every chance to continue improving and becoming more stable. The greatest hope is for Lego to find a peaceful home where he can finally rest. 📌 Basic Information Name: Lego Age: 4 years Gender: Male Weight: 25 lbs Breed: Jindo × Cocker Spaniel mix Color: Brown & White 🐾 Personality & Behavior People: Very fearful/reactive toward new people, warms up more easily to shorter women Children: Not recommended Other Dogs: Best as the only dog Shows resource guarding around food; must be fed separately Cats: Unknown Potty Trained: Yes Crate Trained: No Energy Level: High Touch/Handling: Uncomfortable with physical contact Barking: Quiet when alone; barks at doorbells or hallway noises when someone is home Escape Tendencies: None — manageable with “sit” and “wait” Walking: Martingale collar recommended; pulls with a harness Car Rides: Nervous initially, settles on longer rides Yard: Ideal, but a quiet neighborhood is also fine Living with Other Dogs: Not suitable 🔎 What Lego Needs Lego has fear-based reactivity. His current guardian has invested significant time, training, and management, and he has shown meaningful progress. However, Lego needs: A guardian experienced with reactive or anxious dogs A consistent daily routine A calm environment with low stimulation 🧡 Please Consider Becoming Lego’s Family Once he bonds, Lego is goofy, affectionate, and deeply loyal. He is waiting for a forever family who can provide the quiet suburban environment where he can truly thrive.

Zinnia-American Cocker Spaniel female's Story Meet Zinnia: Your Future Shadow, Cuddle Bug, and Best Friend. If you are looking for a gentle soul who will fill your home with quiet devotion, look no further than Zinnia (lovingly called Zinni). This 6-years-young American Cocker Spaniel has the most soulful eyes that will absolutely melt your heart! Zinni was recently rescued from a commercial breeding facility, where she spent her life as a commercial breeding dog and is now celebrating her "rebirthday" as a beloved indoor dog enjoying all of the comforts of beds and gentle TLC Zinni is learning what it means to be a cherished family pet, and she is embracing her new life with incredible resilience and grace. View Zinnia's full album of photos and videos here https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.927363186580975&type=3 Fully Vetted & Ready for Her Forever Home Zinni is completely healthy and ready to go! She has completed all of her vetting, including: Up-to-date vaccinations Bloodwork excellent and heartworm/tick disease tested Negative Heartworm/flea/tick preventatives Microchip implant Spay surgery Full dental surgery Gaining Confidence Every Day Because of her past, Zinni is very shy and timid around new people. However, in just a few short weeks in her foster home, she has been steadily gaining confidence, thanks to having another dog in her foster home who is teaching her how wonderful life can be. She has officially discovered that love, safety, and pampering are wonderful things! Here is a glimpse into her sweet personality: Morning Rituals: When the morning alarm goes off, she happily wags her tail and waits patiently for her morning neck massage. She has even recently trusted her fosters enough to roll over for belly rubs! The Ultimate Cuddle Bug: It took some time, but Zinni is now comfortable jumping up on the sofa to enjoy evening cuddle time while her foster family watches TV. Cozy Bedtime Partner: While she loves the security of her crate and will happily go in and out of it throughout the day for naps, night-time is a different story. She has discovered that jumping up into bed with her foster is the best thing ever, sleeping contently all night. Quiet as a mouse: Zinni has not yet made a single peep! She does not bark or whine, making her a truly peaceful presence. This may change of course as her confidence grows. House-Training Superstar: She was quickly house-trained! She only has occasional accidents inside if she is feeling particularly nervous or stressed. Things We Are Working On: Zinni is trying her best and learning new things every day! Her perfect adopter will need to help her continue working on: Hand-Feeding Confidence: She loves tasty treats, but she is still too timid to take them directly from your hand. For now, she will happily enjoy them if you gently toss them in her direction. Leash Training: Zinni has not yet learned to go for walks on a leash as she is still too timid. It will take her some time to get familiar with the hustle and bustle of the outside world and unfamiliar street noises. She thrives in a fully fenced yard for exploring. Her Ideal Forever Home: Because the big wide world can still be intimidating to her, Zinni is looking for a patient, quiet environment where she can continue to blossom at her own pace. Her ideal home: People Home Often: Because she loves her humans and is still learning to settle into domestic life, she would thrive in a home where people are home often to continue working on her socialization and training. A suitable canine companion: She requires a home with a gentle companion dog. Having a canine sibling for companionship and confidence, to watch and mimic, will continue to help her build confidence and learn how to navigate the world. No Young Children: Due to her timid nature, a home without young children is necessary to keep her environment safe, peaceful and stress-free. Zinni is a nervous flight risk and children coming and going through doors pose a serious escape risk as well Cats: Zinnia is very respectful of cats. Understanding Transitions: Her new family should be prepared to give her grace during her first week or two in a new environment, as stress can cause temporary potty accidents. Watching a resilient dog like Zinni discover the joy of a soft bed, a belly rub, and the gentle touch of a loving hand is the most rewarding experience in the world. She is so ready for her true happily-ever-after. Does Zinni sound like your new best friend?

Meet Madelyn a sweet, gentle and resilient little Cocker Spaniel. Madelyn has a cute stubby little tail that when she wags it her whole little butt end wiggles. Madelyn is a beautiful mostly black and white girl. She has lovely silky ears and the uniqueness of two different colour eyes, known as heterochromia. This is because there is some blue merle in her, which can be seen in her face and legs. She is estimated to be about 5 years old. She weighs approximately 9.5kg (21 lbs). She has reached an ideal weight after coming to our rescue underweight. Madelyn came to us as a retired mill momma. We realized immediately that she was not well when she came to our home and within 24 hours she was at the vets having emergency spay surgery to remove an infected uterus. This condition is known as pyometra and is life threatening. She spent the weekend at the emergency clinic. Thankfully she rallied and made a full recovery after a couple weeks. Once she was on the road to recovery it was time to try and get her to put on some weight. Her appetite rallied and she became a typical cocker spaniel that loves her food and treats. She will try and steal food from your plate if she could. We have been working with her to teach her she can’t just help herself to whatever she wants. This is something her forever family will need to continue working on. Madelyn also had the typical trust issues of a mill momma around people since interactions with people were not always the most positive in her former situation. She was very frightened of loud noises and quick movements. Since her time with us in foster care she has become less skittish and not as easily startled. However loud noises and quick movements still cause a reaction from Madelyn though she recovers quicker now. Despite Madelyn’s trust issues she loves people and will seek out affection and petting. Madelyn has shown no interest in toys of any kind. Although she will occasionally pick up a chew bone and chew on it. Due to Madelyn’s start in life she will need a quiet home without young children or young children visiting regularly. The noise and chaos would not be good for her. Quiet respectful teenagers would be ok but an adult only home would be best. Madelyn is a very quiet dog who rarely barks and when she does it is not very loud so any type of home situation would be fine as long as it isn’t a busy high rise apartment building. She should live in a quiet neighbourhood because a lot of traffic noise and the hustle and bustle of a busy downtown would be too much for her to cope with. A rural setting or quiet suburb would suit her best. Madelyn enjoys a short walk once or twice a day of about 20 minutes. She is very good on the leash and is not a puller. If she lags or moves ahead she will check herself as soon as she feels the leash tighten and will speed up or slow down to get back to a loose leash situation. Madelyn is a low to medium energy dog. It has taken her some time to build up stamina after her health issues. Madelyn also likes to wander around our securely fenced yard at a leisurely pace. Due to her being easily startled and therefore a flight risk, Madelyn needs to be securely leashed when outdoors or in a securely fenced yard. Madelyn is fully house trained with no accidents in quite a while. She is not great at signalling that she needs to go out although she will go to the back door and look at you. We let her out regularly and she always does her business outside. Madelyn is crate trained. She sleeps in her crate at night and is quiet all night. She is also crated when we need to leave the house. She will go into her crate with some coaxing but does not go in of her own accord. Her meals are also provided to her in her crate. This is mainly because she feels more secure eating away from the other dogs. She prefers the quiet and safety of eating in her crate. At mealtime she runs into her crate and waits for her food. Madelyn is a very good car rider. She normally rides seat belted in with a harness. Once she is securely fastened in she will lay down and sleep for the car ride. She has been on numerous car rides of up to 1.5 hours and has had no issues with car sickness. Madelyn has travelled to go camping and has adapted well to her camping trips. She loves camping and the numerous walks and chilling on the campsite watching the activity around her. Madelyn is a very curious dog who prefers to observe until she is comfortable enough to participate. Currently Madelyn lives with three male dogs, a couple cats and a couple parrots. She shows no interest in the parrots. She will sniff the cats but shows no prey drive to chase them. She lives peacefully with the dogs but has no interest in interacting with them. My mothers female dog stayed with us for a while and Madelyn was not thrilled with having another girl around the house. For this reason Madelyn would do best as the only dog in the house or a quiet, gentle, mature male dog that she can learn dog behaviour from. On our walks Madelyn shows no interest in people or other dogs. Squirrels will occasionally peek her interest and she will move towards them but is easily brought back to walking calmly beside you. To this point Madelyn has not learned any formal commands. We have been working on getting her comfortable with the household routine. She does however come into the house when her name is called and she has mastered the routine of the house. She knows when it is time to go out, time to go for a walk, time to go to bed and of course time to eat. She loves the evening routine of jumping on the couch and snoozing next to you while you watch TV. She will also roll around on the couch and loves when you give her a nice belly rub. Madelyn’s grooming needs consist of weekly brushings and a groom every 6 weeks or so to keep her fur neatly trimmed. Her fur does not grow very quickly. She will also need to have her ears cleaned regularly as she has the typical cocker ears that are prone to infection. As noted earlier Madelyn had to have an emergency spay due to pyometra. She is up to date on her vaccinations, has been tested for heartworm and internal parasites both of which were negative. She has been treated for external parasites as well. Madelyn has also been treated for an ear infection. Madelyn also had a dental and a couple masses removed from her mammary glands. The masses were tested and the majority were benign. However one was an adenocarcinoma (grade1). This means that it did not involve the lymph nodes nor had it spread and it’s removal was curative. YAY! After recovery from her surgery a couple additional lumps were discovered in her mammary tissue and in an abundance of caution the rear two mammaries were removed. At this time Madelyn has had all her medical needs addressed and she is ready to find her forever home. Madelyn is a sweet and lovely dog that is very easy to live with. She enjoys being around her people without being clingy. If you are looking for a sweet, gentle, smaller cocker spaniel to fill your home with love and affection Madelyn may just be your girl.
