Cocker Spaniel Dogs For Adoption in Houston, TX, USA

Posted Breed: Cocker Spaniel (medium coat). Hi, I’m Holly, a sweet, lovable senior girl with an estimated birth date of December 2001. Don't let my age fool you!! I'm still a sp

unky, somewhat independent dog who prefers canned food (I just love my breakfast and dinner), soft toys and my space. While I’m affectionate and enjoy lots of love, I sort of prefer it all on my terms. I'm affectionate with my foster family, letting them know I want to be held by nudging their leg with my 'halo' or my nose. My 'halo' is something I wear when I walk. It fits on me like a vest, and it helps me avoid bumping into things since I'm both blind and deaf. I appreciate when someone touches my head or back prior to just scooping me up in their arms so I don’t get startled. For this reason, a quiet home would be best for me with no children, or older children. I am not overly playful with other dogs due to my inability to see and hear, but I don’t mind them around. I get along with the other foster dogs in my home, and even enjoy the groomer. I’m a senior girl that still wants to look her best! Every now and then, I'll have an accident inside, but I'm working on that. My first couple of days out of the shelter were a little scary with a trip to the emergency vet, but the kind folks at GCCSR did full labwork, xrays and ultrasounds of my heart and abdomen, and with some meds and a prescription diet for my kidneys, I was released. Since then, my health has continued to improve and all my levels are holding steady. I do have a heart murmur and a slight cough, which we believe is likely related to the heartworm infection. I'm current on vaccinations, and my vet is currently deciding the best point at which to spay me amidst my other treatments. In the mean time, If you have a lot of love to give and wouldn't mind sharing your home with me, please submit an application! I'm ready to begin my happily ever after! ADOPT HOLLY

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
