Because we do not have an actual rescue facility, it is necessary either to board or make use of very few foster homes for the Cocker Spaniels that come directly to the Adoption Center. This is a costly endeavor, one incurred in addition to the veterinary and grooming bills that we also accumulate as a result of taking dogs in. We are therefore hopeful that people who want to give up their animals will be willing to keep them at their homes until a suitable new home is found. If this is not possible, we hope that they will be willing to help with the cost of boarding and vetting their pets. A Surrender Agreement must be signed at the time any animal is given up. Obviously none of this is possible when strays are found, and those are the dogs that will primarily be taken in by the Adoption Center.
We are always in desperate need of good foster parents and homes. If you would like to become a foster for one or more of our special dogs, please review the Foster Guidelines and Agreement to help determine if you would be able to undertake this rewarding task. Foster families form the backbone of our operation. We cannot do our work without them, but it takes a special kind of person, with a serious sense of commitment and an ability to let go when the time comes.
