Story
Sparkler (Sparky to his friends) is an 8'ish-year old, 15-pound Bichon.  Sparky is looking for a forever home with his best girl, Starla.   Sparky is a charming little fellow who is adjusting quite well to life outside the puppy mill.  He loves to play with toys and other dogs.  He zips around the yard with such exuberance.  He will throw himself into his foster mom's lap for snuggles when the mood strikes.  Foster mom now understands why people love Bichons so much. Sparky and Starla clearly adore each other and enjoy playing together (Check out a cute video of them here)! They take a little bit to warm up to new people, but when they do, it is all goodness!  Their ideal home is in the suburbs with a securely fenced yard.  They both do well with other dogs.  Having another dog in their forever home would be a bonus!  Children make them nervous, so teenagers and older is preferred. Sparky is in good health!  He is missing all of his teeth, so his tongue hangs out to the left of his mouth.  No worries - he still eats kibble.  He is darling!!!  To learn more about Starla and Sparkler, please email adoptme@cockerspanielrescue.com.   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 1, 2024, 6:03 pm

Story
Starla is ready to be the star at YOUR home!  Starla is a 6'ish-year-old, 15-pound beautiful Bichon.  Starla is looking for a forever home with her best friend, Sparkler!   Starla is a sweet girl who is loving life outside of the puppy mill.  She enjoys napping in sunshine and rolling in grass.  She just recently learned how comfortable sofas can be, and she'll wait to be lifted onto to one.  She loves her treats, particularly chicken.  Starla has a fun, sweet personality, especially when she is with her bestie Sparkler.  They both clearly love each other and enjoy playing together (Check out a cute video of them here)! They can take a little bit to warm up to new people, but when they do they are super sweet and adorable. Their ideal home is in the suburbs with a securely fenced yard.  They both do very well with other dogs.  Having another dog in their forever home to show them the ropes would be a bonus!  Children make them nervous, so teenagers and older is preferred. Starla is in excellent health.  To learn more about Starla and Sparkler, please email adoptme@cockerspanielrescue.com.   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 1, 2024, 6:03 pm

Story
Tiffany was in pretty bad condition when we picked her up from the PG shelter in December. She weighed just 6 ½ pounds and had recently been shaved due to being matted. Her eyes were in AWFUL condition and as a result, she has had multiple eye surgeries. She had her left eye removed and can only see shadows and movement with her right eye. She will need to continue with eye drops multiple times a day for the rest of her life. She doesn’t mind getting the drops in but does not like to have her eye cleaned. She also has some allergies and is currently receiving a Cytopoint shot as needed and periodic medicated baths. She lives with 2 other small dogs and gets along well with them. I am not sure about cats and she would be best with kids over 12 years old. When the dogs start barking, she joins in and continues even after the “threat” is gone since she has no idea why she’s barking..lol. Tiffany adjusted to her surroundings quickly and has her own room where we feed her and have pee pads laid out for her. She LOVES to eat!! She will let you know when it is mealtime and we have not found any food she does not like!! She has free rein of the home and is non-destructive when left alone (on average about 6-7 hours a day). She sleeps in my bed at night along with the rest of the dogs! I have not crated her at all. She needs to be carried down the stairs but is able to go up the stairs on her own. If there are stairs in the home, there must be a gate to prevent her from falling. We use steps for her to get on and off the couch. She loves to be on the bed and will let you know when she needs to be lifted up. She has recently started playing with toys and tries to play with her doggie siblings every once in a while but she just keeps barking in their face and they don’t understand what she wants. She gets happy feet when she gets excited. She also greets us at the door when we get home! She walks well on leash but is rather slow because she loves to stop and sniff everything. She also has a doggie stroller that she likes to sit in and also likes to be carried. She wants to be in the same room as you and prefers to be laying on a pillow or on your lap. We think she should have an older doggie sibling so she is never alone. She definitely likes to be part of a pack. If you would like to add her to yours, apply today!

Story
Sweetie was adopted October 2024. Thanks to everyone who put in inquiries and applications for Sweetie. Due to the extremely high volume of emails and applications, we apologize that we were unable to respond to everyone individually. At this time, she has been adopted. My name is Sweetie. I am female and about 2 years old. I am a 10-pound Shih-Tzu-Havanese mix. My name should be Snuggles or Cuddles because I love to snuggle and cuddle and get ear scratches and tummy rubs. I get along well with the 3 dogs in the house—2 chihuahuas and a Yorkie. I even get along with other little dogs that come to visit. I am house trained: I follow the other dogs into the yard and back into the house. I love to run in the back yard to chase squirrels and deer, play tug-of-war with my stuffed animals and chew on my favorite bone. I am a little timid when meeting people for the first time, so I need to take my time to get to know you. But once I know you, I will smother you with kisses. My Profile Age: 2 years Weight: 10 lbs Good with kids: I’m good with kids over 14 years old Good with dogs: Yes, especially small (15lbs or smaller) Good with cats: Unknown Fenced yard: Preferred Suitable for townhouse and/or apartment: Yes House trained: Yes, she behaves with the pack Crate trained: No, but she sleeps in her crate Barks when left alone: No, but she gets anxious when left alone and will chew/eat anything left unattended Chews inappropriate items: No Training: I'm still working on it, but I know how to sit!
