DFW Cocker Spaniel Rescue often rescues senior Cockers (ages 8 and up).
Some of these dogs may be diagnosed with medical or behavioral conditions that will require special care for the remainder of their lives. They are placed in foster homes with someone who will administer care, treatment and medication while the dogs enjoys life in a loving home environment. DFWCSR covers the cost of veterinary care, surgeries, treatment and medications for as long as the dog is in foster care.
If you would like to help by sponsoring one of these Super Seniors, DFW Cocker Spaniel Rescue and our foster families would be very grateful. Our ability to continue rescuing senior Cockers depends on your financial support.
We believe every dog in need deserves a chance, even if they are a little frosty around the muzzle.

Cookie
Cookie was rescued from the Mississippi Humane Society after suffering several years without proper care. Despite the extensive vetting she endured after coming to DFWCSR, she wagged her stubby tail and asked for scratches from everyone she met. All she wanted was love and attention. She has adjusted remarkably well, but due to her very high maintenance she will enjoy life with her forever foster in a loving home.

Frio
Frio came to DFWCSR in 2012 at 3 years old. After trying to find the right home for him, it was realized that he was not a good candidate for adoption and he was happier in his boarding environment. He’s still spoiled with “field trips” on a regular basis.
