Story
Kyrie is just the sweetest old gal!! She is 14 years old and going strong! I came across Kyrie when a friend of my daughter’s was an aide for an elderly woman who was being placed into a nursing home this past week (6/17). I didn’t want her to go into a shelter that would possibly euthanize her so I got her. I took her to the vet and she is in good health and up to date on shots. The only concern of the vet is that she would need some dental work. It appears she may have never had any done in the past. She is almost completely housebroken, considering when I got her she was having a couple accidents daily. She was with an elderly lady who was alone and not mobile enough to take her in and out as she needed. She is acclimating well and is a proper lady with all of my animals. Unfortunately, I am a more active person who is out a lot during the day. Kyrie needs someone who is home quite often that she can keep a routine and make her feel secure. She is the perfect companion and lap dog!

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 Bozeman, and I just arrived at CSAC from a shelter. I have had a tough journey. I was a stray dog brought to the shelter. I was starving, underweight, and my right eye was punctured. The shelter vet removed my right eye because I was in pain and it was not fixable. Even though I am having a lot of stress, everyone says that I am calm, curious, gentle and a sweet boy. I need a new home that can take proper care of me and give me the love and attention I deserve. Right now, I am in the caring hands of one of the great Vets that work with the CSAC. They are checking me out and making sure I am healthy. Hopefully, I will find my new family that will turn me into a happy, cherished pet. 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
Red & Rosie are 6 years old Shih Tzu/ Pug mixes. They are closely bonded & must be adopted together. Both are very friendly with people. They are both super affectionate & love attention. They are playful and love toys and they REALLY love treats! They are crate trained and will use a pee pad if left inside too long & not taken out to potty. Rosie and Red are best friends but that doesn’t mean they are always lovey-dovey. Nothing to fear! They work it out in a matter of seconds and go right back to being besties. They are two sweet, funny, affectionate and entertaining dogs! Because they are considered "seniors" the adoption fee for both is $350. FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN. The adoption fee Includes Age-Appropriate Vaccinations (DA2PPV, Bordetella, Rabies), Deworming, Spay/Neuter, Microchip, Flea/Tick/Heartworm Prevention, and Sheltering. Adult Dogs are Heartworm Tested and Treated as Needed. FOCCAS does not DNA test or guarantee breed. If transport is needed, there are additional fees to cover department of agriculture requirements and transport, the additional fee adds $300 to the adoption fee (out of state, East Coast, Great Lakes or New England regions)Thank You for Your Interest in Adopting a Canine Companion from Foccas-tn.org!To Apply Please Copy and Paste to Your Browser:https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=hb2428&method=online_form_html&formid=41LOCATED IN CROSSVILLE, CUMBERLAND COUNTY, TN.
