Description
Dog Breed: Cocker Spaniel. Senior spaniels are so special and Spike is no exception! Spike's owner was unable to care for him any longer and reached out to our rescue for assistance. Spike is 14 years young and weighs around 38 pounds. He isn't overweight but a larger cocker with velvety fur and a sweet personality. Spike has limited vision but has no problem using his nose to get around exceptionally well -- pups with special powers like smell and hearing do amazing things! With a consistent schedule, Spike is house trained and can be left alone without any concerns. He is friendly and loves a belly rub. Spike also enjoys walks and does very well on the leash. Please consider opening your home and heart to a special pup like Spike, who is looking for a soft landing after losing so much. Please email adoptmecockerspanielrescue if you can foster or adopt, even a weekend foster helps Spike! Thank you!!!

Overview:
The Cocker Spaniel, a beloved breed with roots in the United Kingdom, was originally bred as a gundog to flush out woodcock. They are instantly recognizable by their medium size, typically weighing 20-30 pounds, their luxurious, often wavy coat (which comes in a variety of colors), and their long, expressive ears that frame their gentle, eager-to-please eyes. Known for their merry and affectionate temperament, Cockers are generally good-natured, intelligent, and relatively easy to train, making them an excellent choice for families with children and even first-time dog owners. While adaptable, their moderate exercise needs can be met with daily walks and playtime, making them suitable for apartment living as long as they receive sufficient mental and physical stimulation. Prospective owners should be aware of certain health considerations, including ear infections (due to their long ears), eye conditions like cataracts, and hip dysplasia, which highlight the importance of responsible breeding and regular veterinary check-ups.
