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.
Angelique

Cliffy
Unexpected circumstances left this special 12 year old senior boy searching for a new home in 2020. After some consideration it became clear that Cliffy would do best as a forever foster where he feels secure and loved.
Foxy Roxy
March of 2019 saw Foxy Roxy facing euthanasia or rescue – and that’s where DFWCSR stepped up. She is still receiving medical treatment as her myriad of health issues had to be addressed and healed one at a time. She is now down to a healthy 24 lbs, has had cataract surgery with lens replacement and glaucoma treatment, and her yeasty skin infections are all gone. Her ears and allergies can be better addressed now that she’s not fighting so many battles. She can never eat commercial dog foods due to her allergies, and will always need medications and special baths. DFWCSR and her wonderful forever foster have given her a life back!
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.
Joey
Joey is a very sweet 11 year old boy who was rescued in 2017. He is diabetic and will have to take insulin shots for the rest of his life. With wonderful care from his foster Mom and a special diet, he has lost 10 lbs and is now at his ideal weight.
Lewis
Lewis is a handsome 13 year old Cocker Spaniel who came to rescue with several medical issues. In the care of his foster family his medical conditions are monitored and treated and he has become a happy healthy boy. He has adapted quickly and gets along well with his two housemates. Lewis is now a calm, gentle companion who loves to go for walks and relax with his forever family.

He is enjoying life in a loving foster home.
