Cocker Spaniel Rescue

Why Not Help To Make His
World A Better Place?

Loading

If you have a great story about a Cocker Spaniel rescue, why not share it with us?

A rescue center may house many abandoned cocker spaniels, so why not consider rescuing an abandoned Cocker Spaniel (or any other breed) from a dog shelter or rescue centre?

Unfortunately, there seems to be a stigma attached to pet adoption.

Many people believe that dogs which are sent to cocker spaniel rescue centres are vicious, have severe behavioural problem, or are just plain unlovable - why else would they be there and not with a loving family?

This is simply not true.

However, the stigma remains and many of these poor dogs are eventually put to sleep.

There are many reasons why a dog may end up in a cocker spaniel rescue shelter:

  • the family is unable to afford the dog,
  • poor training results in a 'badly behaved' dog which the owner is unable to control,
  • the family move abroad and don't want the hassle of taking the dog,
  • the owners are no longer able to exercise the dog,
  • the dog suffers from separation anxiety and the owner doesn't know how to handle the problem. Eventually, the owner gives up and puts the dog into a rescue centre,
  • increased work committments,
  • the owner dies.

These are just a few reasons, but, there are many more.


Dogs that suddenly find themselves in a rescue centre may become disorientated, frightened and confused and could begin to develop behavioural problems if not rescued and taken into a loving home.

This is so sad - most of these dogs are just ordinary, normal dogs - they're not 'bad' dogs - they simply need some love, affection, and a little understanding.

If you decide to explore the possibility of pet adoption, before you go ahead and adopt a cocker spaniel, we recommend you first visit the Dog Adoption and Training Guide .

This website offers lots of useful information about the need for adopting dogs and how to choose dogs and puppies from kennels, rescue groups and breeders, and much more.

It's a very informative site, with lots of lovely photographs of dogs.

We hope you enjoy it!




If you decide that you don't want to adopt a dog, but would rather buy a puppy from a breeder, then we recommend you read our pages on buying puppies to help you get the most out of the process.

Hi!

I rescued a partially blind Cocker Spaniel pup.

She is blind in her right eye, therefore she runs in circles.

She leads with her left eye and ...
