ADOPTED! ADOPTED! ADOPTED! ADOPTED! ADOPTED! ADOPTED! ADOPTED! 03/15/2024 - UPDATE - Daphne is a special rescue. She is very traumatized from her early life in a puppy mill. She has been in a foster home since August learning to live in a home and to trust people. Our foster has worked with her, and she has made some progress but still has some quirky behaviors. She will need a home that will work with her to continue her progress and understand her uniqueness. She does like being with other dogs and should go to a home with other dogs. She will follow them around and will bark when they bark, but she does not play. She does not play with toys, but she does have her favorite stuffed animal that the foster can put in the microwave to warm up. She will snuggle with it. You can put her on your lap, pet her and cuddle, but she will not seek that attention. If you stop, you may get a side-eye because she secretly likes it. She will explore the foster's home when she is not home or in the room, but as soon as the foster comes into the room, she will go to her corner. Daphne picked a corner in her foster's house that is her safe space, the foster placed a comfy bed there, and she will go there when scared or insecure. She also eats there. She does sleep in the foster's bedroom in a dog bed. House training for Daphne is unique. She will not walk out a door. You can carry her outside, and she will pee outside, but she runs right back in the house. She will poo on a pad, and she will bark to let you know the pad needs changed. Daphne needs an adopter who will love her for who she is, keep working on her training, and continue to teach her that people will love her and not hurt her. MY ORIGINAL INTAKE INFORMATION: Hi Everyone! My name is Daphne, and I just arrived at CSAC. I was rescued from a puppy mill. I am very scared because I have not been around a lot of people or lived in a home as a pet. I have spent my life in a barn, a shed or a cage. The best home for me has people who have dog experience who can help with my training and acclimating to the outside world. The people in my new home should be able to teach me the skills I need to be a great pet: walking on a lead, house training, and socializing. I will need time to trust people who want what is best for me and are not going to hurt me. That is something I have not experienced so far in my life. I should not be in a home with little children. Right now, I am in the caring hands of one of the great Vets that work with CSAC. They are checking me out and making sure I am healthy. Hopefully, I will find my new family that will help me to understand that I am a cherished family pet, not just an animal to be used to make money.

The medical and custodial care of the many Cockers in our care is tremendous. More and more dogs are abandoned with urgent and serious medical issues. We are committed to providing the best possible care for these forgotten friends. Unfortunately, the mounting high costs are beginning to limit the number of dogs we are able to take into our program. Even if you cannot adopt or foster one of our current adoptable dogs, please consider making a donation.
