a little bye-bye, a little thanks and some HELLO gorgeous!

bye bye cherry eye, bye bye!

Katie is one of the five cherry eye cockers we rescued. Her eyes look amazing and she is now ready to leave the vet. Anyone out there want to adopt a gorgeous tri-color gal like Katie? If so, please fill out the online adoption application. Katie needs a nice forever home now as a much loved pet. No more baby making for her, those working days are behind her, she deserves a life of being pampered.

Does anyone remember this little overweight girl with the bad skin?

This was Peggy Sue back in February when Camp Cocker volunteer, Jill, pulled her from a shelter and gave her first try at fostering a dog. Well, get ready because you are not going to believe your eyes . . . the pictures below are of Peggy Sue today.

Jill works hard every day to keep up the Cockers in LA Shelters blog and spends hours upon hours of searching the shelter websites for new cocker spaniels as they enter the shelter system. Camp Cocker can never save them all but Jill's blog has gotten some dogs adopted by the general public who saw a dog and fell in love and went directly to a shelter to adopt. Thank you Jill for all of your great efforts, you are making a difference one dog at a time!

Peggy Sue got prettied!

Thank you to the Dulalia family and to Tobyto and Sandy!

Sorry folks, these two cutie pies are already spoken for! This is Tobyto on the left and Sandy on the right. Tobyto is a Camp Cocker alumni (we knew him as Buddy when he was here). Their parents, Robert and Mary have been such huge supporters of our rescue group and we call Robert our unoffical Camp Cocker publicist because he is so good at thinking of marketing ideas and networking to spread the love and spread the woof about Camp Cocker!

Happy Birthday Macy!

This just makes us laugh. Our friend Marla, from the English Cocker Spaniel Rescue, dresses up her dogs to celebrate Macy's fifth birthday. Macy was rescued from Lebanon and was adopted from the Best Friends Society in Utah. Those other cutie pies are Macy's roomies, Doc and Zevon. There is a birthday hat on the floor that is empty, that is in honor of Marla's Ella-Bella whom just passed away. Bye-bye Ella, we will all miss your pretty English face! What a much loved family of English Cockers.

we wore silly hats to wish you a happy doggie mother's day!

Okay, we admit it . . . none of these cutie pies needs homes. We just laughed so hard when our friend Marla, from the English Cocker Spaniel Rescue Club sent this to us that we had to share. How do you get so many cockers and friends to line up in a row, wear silly hats and then pose for a picture? Food of course!
ADOPTIONS ON THE HORIZON!
Shaggy and Sampson are getting adopted on Tuesday by Darla and Mike of Reno, NV. Thank you to volunteer, Lolly, for doing the home safety check today. Thank you to Darla who flew down to Los Angeles a week ago to meet these two wonderful dogs in person. And we are all looking forward to Tuesday when Darla will be coming back to Los Angeles to take Shaggy and Sampson back to their new forever home. Waiting for the right home for these two bonded dogs really paid off. Thank you to Suzanne and Rena and all of the countless volunteers who rallied to help Shaggy and Sampson after their owner, John passed away. We hope John is looking down right now and very happy with whom we picked to give his beloved dogs a wonderful home.

Josie is getting adopted on the 23rd by Susan of Redwood Shores, CA. Thank you to Monica and Stuart for doing the home safety check and thank you to Susan for coming to Los Angeles to adopt Josie and drive her back to her new forever home . . . we can't wait for Josie to begin her new life with you! Pictured on the left is Susan with Stuart the Camp Cocker alumni - if you live in the bay area, you might be lucky enough to have Stuart show up for your home safety check - once Stuart gives you the paws of approval, you are ready for adoption. Stuart even got dressed up in his little home checking outfit, good boy Stuart!

One of the puppies are getting adopted on May 18th by Jane and Peter of Piedmont, CA. Thank you to Monica and Stuart for doing their home safety check last month and thank you to Jane for driving down to Los Angeles to meet Brady and Kramer and open up your nice home to adopt one of them. They are such lovely puppies and we know you are going to have a difficult time choosing between the two of them, so no matter whom you pick, you are going to have a great puppy!

And Cosmo has an adoption pending a home safety check with Diane and Mike in Alameda, CA. Thank you to Monica and Stuart who will be doing the home check next weekend and we can't wait to see if Cosmo has finally found his perfect match!
