Adopt a Homeless Cocker

Rescuing one dog may not change the world, but for that one dog, the world will be changed forever

About Me

The four of us have all been homeless cockers at one time in our lives, but now have a spoiled life with our furever momma.Pirate, Lexi and Jennings were all adopted from Carolina Cockers. Pirate and Lexi were lucky to be saved from the shelter, and Jennings was removed from a breeder's home due to neglect. That is really something considering that all is legally required in SC is food, water, and shelter...he didn't even have that. Jennings is a very sensitive and affectionate momma's boy! And he has a full tail.CoCo Chanel was adopted in 2006 from Creatures Comfort Rescue in OH. She had been thrown into the night drop at the pound and was a puppy mill breeder. A beautiful young cocker...THROWN AWAY TO DIE!!! She is a bundle of energy and gives her momma "quick kisses" in the face!

I'd like to meet:

3 senior cockers from GA death row to rescue! Now they need YOUR help!!!!! Make a donation at https://www.fundable.com/groupactions/groupaction.2008-05-28 .5252182955/groupaction_view Three senior cockers need your help to get to safety and start their new lives! They have warm beds waiting for them at Paws Forever Cocker Haven in Texas. Marnita is a lovely buff girl from the Clayton Co. shelter in Jonesboro GA. She is a love bug who is starting to feel much better after a nice bath and some antibiotics for her skin condition. She also has a skin growth which needs to be removed and must have her vaccinations before transport. Her traveling companion, Robin, was pulled from the Warner Robins GA shelter. Robin also needs basic vetting and help to cover her boarding costs at the vet's office where she is staying for the next few days. Cheezie is the latest addition to this weekend's transport! He barely escaped euthanasia by heartstick at the Clayton Co. shelter. Cheezie is being neutered this week and also needs quite a bit of dental work done. The poor boy has several loose teeth which need to come out and a large growth on his leg that will need removed and biopsied too. Any amount you can spare will be a huge help to these three furkids who deserve a second chance at a happy life! Please keep them in your prayers as they make their long journey to TX this weekend!MARNITA, buff girl from Clayton Co. GAROBIN, saved from Warner Robins GA shelter!CHEEZIE, barely escaped heartstick at Clayton Co GA
