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.
