Below are pictures and bios of dogs that have recently gone to their Forever Homes. We keep their pictures on this page for about a month or so, to make sure that the adoption really works out. Plus, this gives the regular visitors to our web site a chance to follow the comings and goings of their favorite cocker kids.

We can usually count on taking a holiday from rescue on Christmas Day. Not so this year. New to the Cocker Inn is an injured three month old puppy who had to have a trip to the ER. This little five pound baby, named Lacy, was stepped on hard enough to completely break the bone connecting the shoulder to the knee. The day after Christmas she underwent surgery. There was some bone fragmentation but they were able to put a pin in the leg, putting it back together. This kind of break can cause nerve damage and if so, the leg could still end up needing to be amputated. She has feeling in the foot, which is good, but she started "knuckling" it which means that she is turning the foot under when she walks. The knuckling has gotten better, but the bone is still healing so she still has to be kept still for several weeks. When it's warm, she goes outside several times a day so she can lay in the grass and chew on leaves. She seems to feel pretty snazzy with her new cocker cut and her blingy new pink collar. This is going to be one spoiled little girl but we wouldn't have it any other way. She's been through so much in her little life and she deserves to be spoiled.

Just where the river seeks to hide
Itself by plunging o'er the falls,
Is where the great Creator tried
His colors on the canyon walls.
Ernest Adolphus Sturge (1856-1934)

This gorgeous 18 month old male is called Canyon and he echos the wishes of many others in that he is looking for a home. This sweet guy was found by a police officer, running the streets on a freezing cold night. The officer put Canyon in his car to keep him warm until a volunteer was able to bail him out. Canyon is totally gorgeous and we absolutely adore him!

Colleen is a petite female who is approximately 8-9 years old and only weighs 16 lbs. She is crate trained and knows how to use a doggy door. She is a little shy but loves kids and would be tickled pink to find one to call her own. She is extremely affectionate with her human but doesn't care for other dogs, especially females. She is very sweet and likes nothing more than to be hugged and snuggled but because she scares easily, she would thrive best in a calm and quiet environment.

Hershey is a returning Cocker Kid Alumnus. He was adopted seven years ago but has recently checked back into the Cocker Inn. He is a very handsome 8-9 year old guy who LOVES to play ball. He carries a ball with him all the time. He gets along fine with the other dogs at his foster home. Hershey is a sweetheart looking for a forever home for himself . . . and his ball! You'd think any dog who loves to play ball, would love kids. Not so much for Hershey. Hershey does not play well with children.

"Merry Christmas and Pappi New Year"

If you are looking for a little spice in your life, try a pinch of Paprika. Paprika (aka Pappi) is a young red male who came to us from a local shelter. Due to neglect, he had lost most of his hair from sarcoptic mange. He also had heartworms. But now he has been treated for heartworms, the sarcoptic mange is gone, his coat has grown back beautifully and his true "spicy" personality has emerged. This handsome 1-2 year old guy is now as cute as a button and never stops wagging his precious long tail. Pappi loves to play with other dogs and enjoys playing with stuffed toys and tennis balls. Because he may have been abused in the past, he is slightly cautious when meeting strangers and would most likely do best in a home with no small children.

Buzz is a 2-3 year old male who was found swarming around a local colony but when nobody claimed him, he buzzed over to the hive at the Cocker Inn. According to his foster queen, he is house trained, doggy door trained, gets along well with children and other dogs, and LOVES to snuggle. This is one honey of a guy and is sure to bee the one for your family.

Tiffany is a tiny red female who has lots of energy and can outrun most of the boys at the Cocker Inn. She is extremely agile and would be an excellent flyball or agility dog. She is very loving but would do best in an all adult home, If you're looking to add some bling this holiday season, brighten things up with our little Tiffany.

Becca is a delightful buff and white female who we think is around 5-7 years old. She came to us in pathetic condition, covered with fleas and matted from head to toe. But underneath, we found a cheery little girl with a cottony soft coat which resembles a spring bunny. Becca has an abundance of love to give but she tends to stay in the shadows. Becca was adopted and she relocated to Anchorage, AK. The adoption didn't work out, and she's found foster space in Alaska. For someone up north, looking for shy lap dog, you can look close to home. This little angel would be overjoyed to find a retiree to dote over her day and night.

Old McDonald had a farm, Ee-i-ee-i-oh
And on that farm he had a puppy
Named Levi-ee-i-oh...

But with a woof woof here, and a woof woof there, Old McDonald decided that leaving a puppy in a kennel for 12 hours a day was not a good idea. Levi is a bouncy 6 month old puppy who was actually purchased for a grieving mother who had just lost her daughter but she had to crate him most of the time due to her work schedule. She realized that it wasn't fair to him and surrendered him to Cocker Spaniel Rescue of East Texas so he could find a home with a family who could play with him and give him the love he deserves.

Each Christmas, Santa delivers presents to every last child on earth but in the new movie, Arthur Christmas, Santa's son, Arthur is sent to save the day before one forgotten tyke wakes on Christmas morning. Named after the hero of the movie, our Arthur is different in that he needs someone to save the day for him. Arthur is a gorgeous 2-3 year male who was found living on the streets and has apparently been abused. He is a bit shy until he gets to know you but afterwards, he is a sweetheart. When he arrived at the Cocker Inn, he had long fluffy ears but they had to be shaved because they were so matted.
