Story
Located in Temecula, CA Jesse came to us as a stray from a shelter in the LA area. He is about 3 years old and we suspect he is a sprocker(cocker/springer mix). He was very afraid of his world when he arrived. He has been working with a trainer for many months as we fully believed in him and that he deserved a chance at a good life. His trainer has done wonders with Jesse and says he is a great dog.. Jesse will make a great hiking buddy and ball fetching companion. Yet he also enjoys just hanging out and chilling in the house. Jesse does have a prey drive so cats or other small animals in the house are a no. Jesse would do best in an adult only home or with teenagers that fully understand dog etiquette. He can live with a female dog that respects his space. He is about 35 pounds, up to date on his vaccinations and has a clean bill of health. Jesse is leash trained and house trained. Jesse will thrive in a home where he gets mental and physical stimulation, and a commitment to follow the transition plan from the trainer. There are two aftercare lessons included with Jesse's training program; one in-home and one at the facility that are required for Jesse to be successful. If you are interested in Jesse, please complete the CA adoption application. https://www.springerspanielrescue.org/california-adoption-application?fbclid=IwY2xjawGeMWRleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHUwmOdzvVLdWI0qElT2VHKrM_suqIBiSPofJMzbrEnXGCi6K-ZWUDPPxBw_aem_NUYyizgEqvL0UWU79FtWMQ

Story
Meet Brownie! A spirited four-and-a-half-year-old Cocker Spaniel/Siberian Husky mix from Los Angeles, CA, whose essence is a gentle blend of softness, playfulness, and a uniquely independent soul, all wrapped in a handsome tricolor coat. Brownie is the kind of pup who thrives in the company of someone who gets him—someone who understands that love sometimes looks like quiet companionship, not constant cuddles. Though he may be timid at first, once you earn his trust, you'll discover a loyal friend who sticks close and listens better than most humans. He knows an impressive list of commands—from "sit" to "patita"—and even perks up when you ask if he wants to go outside or for a walk. And yes, he’ll tilt his head adorably every time! This 40-pound adventurer is a natural explorer—he loves hiking, swimming, running, and even a good old-fashioned wrestling match with an oven mitt. Squeaky toys and tennis balls? Absolutely! Brownie is up for a game of catch, especially if you’re cheering him on. He enjoys being outdoors and feels more at ease in peaceful settings where the energy is calm and steady. Bath time and grooming? Well, let’s just say Brownie has his opinions. He’s not a fan of too much fuss, so a patient hand and positive reinforcement go a long way. He may not be the type to curl up in your lap, but he’s happiest lying at your feet, sleeping when you sleep, and watching the world go by with his soulful eyes. Brownie gets along well with cats and tends to be shy, though non-aggressive, around other dogs. He does best with a fenced yard, where he can roam safely and enjoy the breeze. He barks at strangers and howls at sirens, which just might make him your built-in neighborhood watch. With his sweet spirit, strong personality, and deep desire for a gentle, consistent routine, Brownie needs a family that can offer patience, understanding, and a calm environment to help him continue to blossom. Could your home be the place where Brownie’s next adventure begins? If you think Brownie might be your perfect hiking buddy and soulful sidekick, reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com! What special place could you and Brownie explore together next?

Story
HERSHEY'S story, since the day of his rescue, has captured the hearts of hundreds of loving fans on Facebook and other social media! Rescued as a hit-by-car dog with rear leg paralysis, he required spinal surgery, followed by months of specially targeted post-op therapies. He has recovered beautifully, and is now available for adoption! Thank you Hershey fans for supporting this "You Can Do Hard Things" boy! ❤️ >> FOR HERSHEY'S MOST CURRENT STATUS - availability, updates, photos, and videos - follow him at www.campcocker.com/hershey and Facebook & Instagram. #CampCockerHershey HERSHEY IS BEING FOSTERED IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA >> HERSHEY is: Affectionate, playful, smart, brave, curious, eager to please, leash-trained, house-trained, and loves toys. *Once he gets to know you* he’s also a lap dog & snuggle-bug, loves kisses (we call them Hershey's kisses!) >> TO SET HERSHEY UP TO THRIVE, STAY HEALTHY, AND BE THE BEST COMPANION EVER, HE WILL HAVE SOME SPECIAL NEEDS TO BE MET BY HIS FUTURE ADOPTERS: - Hershey will always have IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease) and will always be prone to re-injury. This will require an environment that will help to prevent activities that could lead to re-injury. - It will never be safe for Hershey to have access to stairways, or to furniture or beds that he can jump on or off. - Though he might enjoy the company of another dog, it's important that he not be subject to jumping, wrestling, and engaging in active play with other dogs. - Since he’s not a fan of loud or unexpected noises or interactions, Hershey should be in a quiet home with no children, and probably no cats. He interacts well with other dogs, but it will be best for him to be in a home without other dogs due to his specific environmental requirements. - Hershey's ideal home will be a house with a yard, in a quiet neighborhood. >> Before submitting your application, PLEASE VISIT HERSHEY'S WEB PAGE TO READ HIS *ENTIRE* BIO and learn about his history, his needs - and how Camp Cocker can help! His webpage at www.campcocker.com/hershey is where you’ll find the latest updates and all current information about Hershey.

ELSA IS BEING FOSTERED IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ELSA'S STORY: Elsa is a beautiful adult female Cocker Spaniel. Presumed to be a hit-by-car dog, she was rescued from the LA County Carson Shelter on 1/11/24, and taken directly to the VCA in anticipation of orthopedic surgery. Elsa was picked up by animal control with duct tape wrapped around a fractured leg. :( The shelter sent her to an outside vet for x-rays and removal of the duct-taped bandages, which were replaced with a soft cast while she awaited further treatment. Elsa saw a surgical specialist who repaired her radial ulna fracture, and she is now receiving post-op therapy in her foster home with Hershey & Violet. Elsa has been sweet and friendly with her foster siblings - as well as her care providers. What a good girl! Her age estimate* is about 7-9 years old, and she weighs about 22 pounds. Elsa exhibits some stranger danger (being disturbed by, and barking at people on the street, people she doesn't know) and also has separation anxiety. She'll need some focused training with a force-free trainer to help her with these issues. Don't miss the video of Elsa on her first pack walk in the park with her foster siblings Hershey and Violet (in her wheels)! *Please note that any age provided is only an estimate, based on veterinary examination. >> APPLY TO ADOPT ELSA at Camp Cocker Rescue: www.campcocker.com/elsa ELSA IS BEING FOSTERED IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Be sure to check out other available dogs at www.campcocker.com/available-dogs THANK YOU FOR GIVING RESCUE & SHELTER DOGS A CHANCE!

Welcome to Camp Cocker Rescue, Nikki! Nikki is being FOSTERED IN THE LOS ANGELES AREA >> FOR CURRENT STATUS, UPDATES, PHOTOS & VIDEOS, please visit Nikki's website at www.CampCocker.com/nikki and on Facebook & Instagram. #CampCockerNikki > APPLY TO ADOPT Nikki at Camp Cocker Rescue: www.campcocker.com/nikki Nikki is a cutie-pie female Cocker Spaniel rescued from the Riverside County Shelter. She’s estimated* to be 2-3 years old and weighs 22 pounds. Nikki is an energetic dog-friendly girl. She has some “stranger danger” to be mindful of, so new acquaintances must take their time when meeting her to earn her trust. She should not be in a home with young children. NIKKI'S FOSTER MOM TELLS US: - Nikki is the sweetest once you’ve earned her trust - and that may take a little time! Due to her “stranger danger,” it’s best to meet her outside, where she can sniff and investigate you first. She does better when people have treats—though they need to be high-value treats! - Her adopters will need to be ever-vigilant when meeting & interacting with people (children & adults) always keeping an eye on her body language. - Once she trusts you, Nikki will let you clean her paws, trim her hair, and more. She can get a bit playful & rambunctious, and sometimes “mouthy,” during playtime. Nikki loves to shake her toys, have you throw them, and then playfully tease you to chase her and steal the toy back. She is very friendly with other dogs, but she doesn’t always respect their personal space. - Nikki knows basic commands like “sit” and “give paw” and is working on “down.” She’s potty trained and will bark to let you know when she needs to go outside. She hasn’t exhibited separation anxiety and is crate-trained. - However, if she’s off-leash in the yard, it may take some time to catch her because she enjoys being chased. Nikki should never visit dog parks, as she might accidentally escape through the gate if other dogs are entering or exiting. We’re currently working on recall in hopes that learn to return when called, but she’s currently an escape risk! - With patience, continued training, high-value treats, and love, Nikki will make a fun, loyal, and loving companion! *Please note that any age provided is only an estimate, based on veterinary examination. > APPLY TO ADOPT Nikki at www.campcocker.com/nikki Nikki is being FOSTERED IN THE LOS ANGELES AREA SEE OTHER AVAILABLE DOGS at www.campcocker.com/available-dogs THANK YOU FOR GIVING RESCUE & SHELTER DOGS A CHANCE!

Adopting a Boykin Spaniel

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Boykin Spaniel - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

You can adopt a Boykin Spaniel at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. Adopting a Boykin Spaniel from a shelter or rescue typically costs $50 to $300. This adoption fee often includes a basic exam, preventatives, vaccines, spay/neuter, and microchipping. In contrast, buying Boykin Spaniels from breeders can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they can cost $800 to $1,800.

The easiest way to adopt a Boykin Spaniel is through a rescue that specializes in this breed. A great place to start is a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Boykin Spaniels in your area.

Boykin Spaniel fun facts

Fun Facts:

"Whit" Boykin developed the breed by crossing the original dog "Dumpy" with Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Springer Spaniels, Cocker Spaniels, and American Water Spaniels.

In 1985, the Boykin Spaniel became the official state dog of South Carolina. Through most of the 20th century, the Boykin Spaniel was completely unknown outside of South Carolina.

Smaller than other spaniels, the Boykin Spaniel was beloved for use in waterfowl and other bird hunting because their small size and behavior earned them the nickname, "the dog that doesn't rock the boat."
