Story
Current Location: Manchester, MD Hi, I'm Larry — a petite 7-year-old white Maltese ready for my forever home! 🐕 At just 10 pounds, I'm the perfect lap-sized companion, already neutered and set to join your family. I do great with other dogs, so if you've got a furry friend at home, we'll get along just fine! Come meet me and discover why this little guy has so much love to give. 💕 This dog tested positive for heartworm disease before arriving to the rescue. Heartworm disease is transmitted to a dog through a bite from an infected mosquito producing a positive test in six months. OPH will treat the dog and provide two weeks of recovery time prior to adoption. Potential adopters will receive detailed information on the disease and their role in completing the recovery process from OPH’s heartworm coordinator. With monthly preventatives, the disease is completely preventable.

Story
If you are interested in adopting or fostering this dog. Please visit our website - www.cockeradoptions.org   There, you will find the current status of the dog, the links to our adoption and foster applications, and detailed information about our adopting and fostering procedures.   MY ORIGINAL INTAKE INFORMATION: Hi Everyone! My name is Rocky, and I just arrived at CSAC. I was rescued from a puppy mill. I am a little timid 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 CSAC volunteer says that I am happy and friendly. 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. 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. For more information about this dog, email our Adoption Coordinator. Our adoption process starts with an application. If you are interested in adopting this pup, please click the Adopt menu at the top of the screen, read about our process, and click the application link. 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. The Cocker Spaniel Adoption Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization, and your donations are entirely tax deductible. Click the Donate menu at the top of the screen.

Story
Meet Taffy!Taffy is a sweet little lady who has been through more than her fair share, and she's decided it's about time life started treating her like the princess she is!This precious girl was found abandoned on a rural back road, painfully matted, with fur so tangled it covered her eyes. Thankfully, after a much-needed spa day and plenty of love, Taffy is ready for her next chapter, preferably one filled with soft beds, tasty treats, and humans who adore her.Taffy is a gentle, low-energy girl who enjoys leisurely walks, sniffing around the yard, and spending time with her favorite people. She gets along beautifully with the small dogs and cats in her foster home and has a hilarious habit of pushing her big donut bed around until it's arranged *just right*. A girl knows what she likes!Taffy has some medical needs, she had bilateral enucleations that are making her feel so much better. She has a grade 5 heart murmur that currently requires monitoring rather than medication. She also needs a renal diet. Despite being blind and deaf, Taffy is quite the communicator. She rarely barks but will let you know when she's finished outside or needs a potty break. She's making great progress with house-training and does well with regular outings, although potty pads are helpful. She also rides well in the car when safely tucked into a carrier and needs a little help navigating stairs.After being abandoned, Taffy understandably struggled with separation anxiety, but she's become much more secure in her foster home. She'd thrive in a quiet, predictable household where her people are around most of the time and she can enjoy a consistent routine.Taffy has had a hard life, but she hasn't let it stop her from being an incredibly sweet companion. All she wants is a cozy bed, plenty of treats, and a family who will never leave her behind again.Taffy has spent enough time waiting for the good things in life. Could you be the one to give them to her? Apply today!Taffy is approx 12 yrs old and 10 lbs.Fostered in Berkeley Springs, WVPlease apply at MirisHaven.org

Story
Meet Bo, a loyal little shadow with a big personality and some very firm opinions! Bo is sweet, affectionate, house trained, and dog friendly. He’ll happily follow you from room to room, supervise whatever you’re doing, and make sure you never have to go to the bathroom alone again. Personal space? He’s not really familiar with the concept. 😂 When he loves you, he wants to be wherever you are, and he makes a pretty great little sidekick. Now, for the fine print. The vet? Absolutely not. Grooming? For losers. And trust? Bo doesn’t hand that out to just anyone. He has some pretty strong boundaries and does best with people who understand and respect them. He isn’t a dog who needs to be pushed into doing something he’s uncomfortable with. Instead, he needs a family who can provide structure, set clear rules, and calmly stick to them. Bo is a whole lot of personality wrapped up in one little package, and he’s looking for a family who appreciates all of it. Give him consistency, respect his boundaries, and enjoy the loyalty, affection, and ridiculous little shadow who wants to be part of everything you do. Bo’s adoption fee is $300 and includes vaccinations, neuter, parasite prevention, and a microchip. If you think you can be the right fit for Bo, please complete an adoption application on our website at www.fullcirclerescueandsanctuary.com.

Story
🐾 Meet Sammy! 🐾 Sammy is an adorable 2-year-old Maltese/Yorkie mix who is neutered and ready to find the loving, stable home he deserves. Sammy has not had the benefit of living in a consistent, stable environment, so he will need a family willing to give him patience, grace, and lots of love while he settles in and learns what it means to truly be home. 🏡 A few things to know about Sammy: • 2 years old • Male & neutered • Maltese/Yorkie mix • Needs some grace and consistency with house training • Does not do well with larger dogs • No cats, please • A home with smaller dogs may be a better fit • Needs a patient, loving family who will give him time to adjust Sammy isn’t looking for perfection—he’s looking for stability, kindness, and someone who won’t give up on him. With a predictable routine, positive reinforcement, and plenty of love, we believe this sweet little guy can blossom. ❤️ Sammy is ready for a fresh start and a family to call his own. Could that be you? He’s available for adoption through Blues City Animal rescue🙌🐾❤️ Application in the comments below

Story
Meet Chip! This adorable two-year-old Maltese/Chihuahua mix is a little guy with plenty of personality and energy to spare. Chip is playful, curious, and always ready to see what’s going on. He’s still learning the ropes and working hard on his manners and house training, so he’ll need a family who understands that those things take consistency, patience, and a little time. He’s a fun little dog who is learning every day what it means to be a well-mannered companion. We’re excited to watch him continue to grow and settle into the routine of being someone’s very loved dog. Chip’s adoption fee is $300 and includes his vaccinations, spay/neuter, parasite prevention, and microchip. If you think you can be the right fit for Chip, please complete an adoption application on our website at www.fullcirclerescueandsanctuary.com.
