Applicants with young children are considered on a case-by-case basis.

Adoptions outside the greater Houston area (including out of state) are considered if the applicant has a veterinarian and/or Cocker Spaniel Rescue can arrange a home visit. Scroll down for more information on out of state adoptions.

There are special criteria to adopt young puppies. Scroll down to learn more.

Approval should not be construed to mean the applicant can select any dog. We try to honor the adopters request but if we feel a specific dog(s) is not a good match, we may still decline the adoption of a particular dog to you. We put a lot of effort into matching dogs to forever homes.

Cocker Spaniel Rescue of East Texas has the right to either deny or approve applications without explanation.
