Lola is a smaller sized 13 month old chocolate Cocker Spaniel with a white blaze down her neck. She was born on April 7, 2007. Lola was surrendered to us by her owner because she was moving to an apartment when pets are not allowed. Lola was well cared for and deeply loved. She was fed Nutro chicken and rice dog food (she is allergic to red meat). Lola has a wonderful temperament - she is BEYOND A TREASURE! She is 18 pounds of pure sugar. She loves to cuddle and comes running whenever her name is called, her whole body wiggling. Lola loves everybody and everything. For a tiny treasure, Lola has enormous love in her heart. Lola has been spayed, microchipped, is up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. She is also fully housebroken. If you are ready to lose your heart to Lola, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Lola is waiting to hear from you!  
A BIG THANK YOU TO VICKI (FORMER FOSTER MOM TO COLBY) FOR OFFERING BEAR A SAFE AND LOVING FOSTER HOME IN THE EAST VILLAGE! Bear is a stunningly handsome 1-2 year old chocolate Cocker Spaniel with an incredibly thick and gorgeous coat. Despite having been through a bit of a hard time, Bear remains more teddy than grizzly. Upon being surrendered to the Manhattan shelter by his family, Bear became so stressed and upset that he was not offered for adoption to the public. We were only too happy to take him into rescue and to give him the opportunity to settle down in safe surroundings. While still a little shy with strangers, Bear has proven to be a very loving dog with a great nature. Given the way that he jumps into his foster mom's arms, he would probably make a great candidate for agility training, too! Bear has been neutered, microchipped, is up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. He will shortly be treated to a professional grooming and will go home with a new leash and collar. If you would like to offer Bear a cozy den and honey pot to call his own, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Bear will be checking his inbox daily! 
A BIG THANK YOU TO SUSAN AND JAMES OF STAMFORD, CT. FOR OFFERING BRANDY A SAFE AND LOVING FOSTER HOME, WHICH BRANDY IS SHARING WITH HER FOSTER FAMILY'S BEAUTIFUL COCKER SPANIEL, BELLA. Brandy is a beautiful cream color 6 year old female Cocker Spaniel that came to us from the Brooklyn shelter as an owner surrender due to personal problems. We imagine it must have been extremely hard to let her go; Brandy will take your breath away, she is just so unbelievably sweet . Her heart is overflowing with love and she is more than willing to share it with everyone she meets. She has an Angelic spirit; pure and innocent. Brandy is so gentle and kind that we believe she can be placed with an infant. She loves to lounge on the couch or a better place would be a lap. Yes, Brandy is a lap dog! She loves to play, go for walks, but most of all Brandy loves to be a Velcro companion. Brandy gets along well with other dogs and is currently fostering with another female Cocker Spaniel; her new friend Bella. She would be fine with cats too. She is a no issue girl. Her foster mom and dad are just so pleased to have her and have only reported wonderful things about her. Brandy has been Vet checked, vaccinated, spayed, HW neg and micro chipped. and she will be groomed prior to Adoption. She recently had two cherry eyes repaired and a dental by her former owner. Brandy will go home with a new matching Lupine leash and collar. Brandy is like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day. Email us if you need some sunshine in your life, Brandy is waiting to hear from you.  Petite Princesse is a 10 month old buff female Cocker Spaniel who was surrendered to us just before the holiday weekend. What a sad surprise for poor Petite Princesse, who was looking forward to her first Memorial Day barbecue with family and friends. We have assured poor Petite Princesse that she need not worry. A little Cocker as adorable as this one who is good with kids and other dogs is sure to find her forever home soon ... with any luck, just in time to enjoy a holiday burger or hotdog around the grill. Petite Princesse has been spayed, microchipped, is up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. She will be professionally groomed before adoption and will go home with a new leash and collar. If you would like to offer this Petite Princess a memorable Memorial Day weekend and a fairy tale ending fit for a queen, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Petite Princesse will be checking her inbox daily! 
Luke is a handsome 1-2 year old golden red Cocker Spaniel with a winning personality who came to us from Brooklyn Animal Care and Control. He is an active boy who would love to spend his weekends hiking in the woods with his favorite person or just going for long walks around his neighborhood. While he is a larger size Cocker with an imposing presence, Luke is gentle enough to be trusted with small children ... we have seen no evidence of aggression whatsoever. Luke will make a wonderful family pet! It is hard to believe that a dog with such a magical spirit would ever have ended up a stray. Luke has been neutered, microchipped, is up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. Luke would love to find his forever home this Memorial Day weekend ... he is all dressed up in his favorite bandana just to emphasize what a loyal and patriotic boy he is. Luke will be professionally groomed before adoption and will go home with a new leash and collar. If you would like to meet Luke, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Luke is waiting to hear from you and will be checking his inbox daily! 
Chloe is a very pretty 1 year old female Cocker Spaniel who has just arrived from the Staten Island shelter. We decided to call her Chloe after the sophisticated french perfume by the same name. Chloe is a tall, elegant Cocker with a very confident manner who, with her striking coloring, looks ready to attend a black and white ball. She is a very Audrey Hepburn kind of girl. While we are still getting to know Chloe, we believe that she would do best in an adult only home with prior Cocker Spaniel experience. Chloe has been spayed, microchipped, is up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. Chloe will be professionally groomed before adoption and will go home with a new leash and collar (possibly with her very own strand of pearls). If you would like to adopt Chloe, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Chloe will happily meet you for breakfast at Tiffany's ... just remember to bring the biscuits. 
BIO: Tricky is a very handsome black Cocker/Retriever mix (possibly lab) with a hint of white on his chest. This adorable boy has a fabulous temperament and is very loving and playful. In typical Retriever fashion, he loves to play fetch and is quite the athlete. Tricky is is somewhat taller than a Cocker Spaniel, but otherwise has a Spaniel type build. He bonds very strongly with those he loves, always wanting to be near them. He loves to be petted and does not mind being lifted (especially to receive a hug!) Tricky has been neutered, microchipped, is up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. If you would like to offer Tricky a place called home, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Nothing could be less tricky! 
A BIG THANK YOU TO DOUG AND BILL OF UPSTATE NY FOR OFFERING NINJA AND HIS NEW FOSTER BROTHER BUDDY A SAFE AND LOVING FOSTER HOME ON THEIR SNOWY HILLTOP IN THE COUNTRY! Ninja is a handsome 3 year old purebred black Cocker Spaniel. Ninja was a stray who went unclaimed. We can't imagine why ... he's a very friendly boy whose little tail is always on the move, just like a propeller. He gets along with other dogs and should also be fine with cats. We believe him to be somewhat vision impaired, as he can be somewhat disoriented in new surroundings. Once he gets to know his environment, he gets around just fine. He also appears to have partial paralysis on one side of his face (our vet believes that it was due to a severe ear infection, which has now fully cleared). Ninja has been neutered, microchipped, is up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. Ninja has just enjoyed a professional grooming and will go home with a new leash and collar. If you would like to offer Ninja a place to call home, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Ninja will be checking his inbox daily! 
A BIG THANK YOU TO MEREDITH OF MOSCOW, PA FOR OFFERING BAYLIE A SAFE AND LOVING FOSTER HOME IN THE POCONO MOUNTAINS. BAYLIE IS ONLY TOO HAPPY TO HAVE LEFT ROUGH URBAN LIFE BEHIND HIM. UPDATE: Baylie is doing wonderfully well. After just a few short days in an environment where he has been spoiled with kindness and affection, Baylie has largely come out of his shell. He now jumps up to greet us enthusiastically and his little tail is wagging non-stop. Baylie has become fast friends with another much more confident red Cocker Spaniel named Sammy, who seems to be having a very therapeutic effect upon him. Baylie is now running with the other dogs and engaging in games with the rest of the gang. He is definitely ready for adoption. Baylie is a handsome red male Cocker Spaniel just 18 months old. Baylie was an owner surrender to the Manhattan shelter, an environment to which he reacted with such fright and terror that he was immediately released to rescue. We believe Baylie to have been badly mistreated in his last home. Even more telling than the heavily matted, urine-soaked coat with which he came in is how fearful Baylie becomes when people approach. He cowers and looks at them with wide, terrified eyes, clearing trying to assess whether or not he will be hurt, all signs that he has been regularly beaten. But when allowed the time to sniff a person out, Baylie is able to relax and becomes receptive to handling, even nudging one's hand to ask for more affection. With those he has begun to trust, he will even seek out their lap and curl himself into a tiny ball. While Baylie will obviously need a calm and quiet home in which to recover from his traumas, he is far from a lost cause. Having been down this road with many dogs before, we are confident that Baylie will overcome the neglect and abuse of his past. He just needs a chance to be loved. Baylie has been neutered, microchipped, is up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. He has just enjoyed a professional grooming and will go home with a new leash and collar. We have named this sweet little dog Baylie in honor of Bailey, our founder's beloved Cocker Spaniel who passed away just two hours before Baylie came into rescue. Bailey was the original "Abandoned Angel" and an integral part of our rescue's history. He was found by his mom 6 years ago running along the Brooklyn Queens Expressway, having evidently been tossed out of a car. He was so overgrown and matted that his breed was difficult for her to establish. Underneath it all, our founder discovered a beautiful buff Cocker Spaniel with a heart of gold. While initially very sick, with his mom's love and care, Bailey first recovered and then flourished. For the next 6 years, he and his mom became inseparable companions and soon shared the common mission of Cocker Spaniel rescue. Bailey was a deeply sensitive soul who had the uncanny ability to identify and comfort not only people in need but also dogs in need. With his reassuring presence, he became the official "meeter and greeter" of rescued Cocker Spaniels upon their arrival from area shelters. How we will manage without him in our rescue and our lives we simply do not know. While Bailey can never be replaced, we will continue to see a little part of his spirit in every Cocker Spaniel who passes through our doors in need of a second chance. We will forever love you, Bailey, and will remember you always. Rest in peace, precious friend. 
A BIG THANK YOU TO MINDY AND FAMILY OF SAUGERTIES, NY FOR OFFERING MITZIE A SAFE AND LOVING FOSTER HOME!! MITZIE IS ENJOYING LIFE WITH SEVERAL GOLDEN RETRIEVERS AND TWO SPECIAL NEEDS COCKER SPANIELS, HONEY (FKA "DANNY GIRL") AND TINKERBELL (FKA "GYPSY") WHO WERE BOTH ADOPTED FROM ABANDONED ANGELS. ABANDONED ANGELS IS VERY GRATEFUL TO MINDY FOR HER VERY SPECIAL BRAND OF TLC! BIO: Mitzie (aka "Monster Mitts") is an 8-9 year old buff female Cocker Spaniel with a very tragic story. She was adopted from Manhattan Animal Care and Control as a healthy youngster but returned years later in filthy, matted condition when her family decided they had "no time" for her. In the interim, they allowed this once spritely dog to become severely overweight and, when she developed cataracts, left them untreated, with the result that Mitzie went completely blind. Poor Mitzie's eyes now ressemble two glassy white marbles. Lost and confused in unfamiliar territory, she will walk into walls or anything else that may be in her path. We wonder how anyone could have been so heartless as to abandon a blind dog at a kill shelter. The smells and sounds that she encountered in her pitch black prison must have been extremely frightening to her. Despite it all, Mitzie is an EXTREMELY SWEET AND GENTLE dog. She loves to be caressed and will lick one's fingers with gratitude for the smallest expression of kindness. We are now addressing all of Mitzie's medical needs with the goal of preparing her for adoption to a very special home. While the shelter sent her to us spayed, microchipped, heartworm tested, and up-to-date with all shots, our vet has run full bloodwork and urinalysis to better assess the state of her overall health. The tests actually show her to be in good shape, except for the presence of bladder stones, as confirmed by an xray. Mitzie has now had surgery to have the stones removed and came through it like a champ! Although she will need to be on a prescription dog food for life to ensure that the stones do not recur, what a small price to pay for keeping sweet Mitzie healthy and pain free! At the time of surgery, Mitzie also had a much needed dental, as her teeth have obviously never been cleaned. If you have an interest in providing Mitzie with an adoptive home, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Experience with blind dogs is preferred, but not essential. While she may never see you with her eyes, your love will cast all the light that Mitzie needs to continue on her path towards a better life. 
Hello, my name is Gem. I am a handsome 3-4 year old buff and white Cocker Spaniel and my name speaks for itself! I am a super friendly, happy-go-lucky boy who will make an excellent family pet. I am great with kids and get along well with other dogs. I came from a family with children but was surrendered shortly before Mother's Day. Did someone mistakenly think I was ready to leave the nest? They sure got it wrong. After all, I'm still a canine kid (and always will be). I am neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on all shots, and have tested negative for heartworm. What could be a better gift on Mother's Day than the gift of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE? Mom doesn't need jewels, she needs a Gem like me. If you would like to offer me the forever home I so deserve, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. I'd love to be home in time for Sunday brunch with my Mom! Love and licks till then, Gem XXOO 
Gentle Grace ("Gracie") is a beautiful, sweet-natured 2-3 year old Cocker Spaniel who came into the Manhattan shelter as an owner surrender. At the time of intake, she was literally shaking from head to toe, crying with fear, and seeking in vain to hide behind her owner. We can only imagine the thoughts that raced through poor Gracie's mind as she confronted the noise and bedlam of a city kill shelter. Sadly, while there, Gracie came down with both an upper respiratory infection and a stomach flu. By the time she came into rescue, she was quite a sick girl. We have since attended to all of Gracie's medical needs, as well as to her emotional wounds. Gracie has now recovered physically and is well on her way to recovering emotionally. Despite her recent traumas, Gracie remains very gentle with people (although may need a few minutes to sniff them out) and is excellent with other pets, both dogs and cats. She enjoys going for walks and has excellent leash manners. Gracie is very well-behaved during crate time and loves to cuddle on her bed (a vast improvement from the hard steel floor of her shelter kennel). Gracie has been spayed, microchipped, is up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. She will be professionally groomed prior to adoption and will go home with a new leash and collar. If you would like to offer sweet Gracie a future that is gentler than her recent past, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Gracie will be checking her email inbox daily. 
Hello, my name is Jack-in-the-Box. I am a handsome 10-12 month old scruffy faced Norwich Terrier/Shih Tzu cross who was rescued from the Manhattan Shelter on the evening before I was due to be euthanized for space (of all things!) Imagine how you would feel if someone decided there was no room in the world for you ... my feelings were very hurt! If you are wondering how I came to find myself in Cocker Rescue, well ... when life is at stake, sometimes a Jack-in-the-Box has to think outside the box. That is why Abandoned Angels has a special category called the "Honorary Cocker Spaniel" for dogs like me. As you can see, I am SIMPLY ADORABLE and have a very spunky personality. I am HYPOALLERGENIC, neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on all shots, and have tested negative for heartworm. I will shortly be treated to a professional grooming and will go home with a new leash and collar. Needless to say, things are really looking up! So are you ready to think outside the box and seal the deal? If so, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. I'll be checking my inbox daily! Lots of love till then, Jack. 
Roxanne is a beautiful burnish red female Cocker Spaniel. This stunning 3 to 4 year old dark eyed girl is as sweet as she is beautiful. Roxy for short was initially found as a stray and brought to a local shelter. When her stray hold was up, Roxy was given to rescue. Roxy arrived with her stubby tail spinning like a propeller and it has not yet stopped. She is as happy as could be. Roxy knows she is safe now and continuously shows her gratitude by showering us with kisses. Roxy is a total love muffin. She is extremely affectionate. She loves everyone she meets including other dogs. Roxy exudes all the BEST characteristics of the breed, she is a tail wagging, friendly, loyal, loving velcro girl. One word that describe Roxy best is AWESOME! IShe would definitely complete your family and bring you years of happiness. Roxy is vaccinated, spayed, HW negative and microchipped. She will also be professionally groomed and go home with a new matching Lupine collar and leash set. If you are interested in providing Roxy with her forever home, send us an email, Roxy is eagarly waiting to hear from you! 
Rocket is an adorable 5 month old red English Cocker Spaniel puppy with white markings. This sweet boy was found as a stray and brought to a local shelter. When no one claimed him, he was given to rescue. Rocket is everything you would want in a puppy, He is extremely affectionate and loving. On his way home from the shelter he sat in my lap, giving me kisses and even puppy hugs. He would rest his head on my shoulder and gaze up at me with his big brown soulful puppy eyes and of course I instantly fell in love! Rocket is very energetic and playful. He loves to run or should I say fly across the room with a squeaky toy in his mouth shaking it. He will allow you to take it from him only to throw it to him over and over again. This guy has plenty of puppy fuel! Rocket is crate trained but will require further training in housebreaking. He would benefit from obedience training, He does come when he is called and is starting to learn other basic commands such as sit, give paw etc. Rocket is a quick learner as he is very eager to please. Since Rocket still has his sharp baby teeth and he is a bit mouthy, we believe he would do best in a home with older children. Rocket is vaccinated, neutered, HW negative and microchipped. If you are ready to make a commitment to Rocket, please contact us. Rocket is ready to soar right into your heart and home. 
MANY THANKS TO VICKY FOR OFFERING COLBY A SAFE AND LOVING FOSTER HOME IN THE ALPHABET CITY SECTION OF MANHATTAN! It is raining black Cocker Spaniels at Abandoned Angels. We now have 7 black males and one black female available for adoption. The latest to join our group is Colby, a 7 year old owner surrender who came to us through a concerned neighbor. Colby was an inside dog for the first few years of his life, but then something went wrong. One day Colby was tied out on a chain and never allowed back in the house again. The neighbor finally grew so tired of seeing poor Colby chained up year after year, that she persuaded his owners to release him to rescue. Although he received very little veterinary care during his life, Colby came to us in surprisingly good health. While much too skinny, he has tested heartworm negative and bounced back quickly soon after his neuter. Colby is up-to-date on all shots and has also been microchipped. He has just been professionally groomed and will go home with a new leash and collar. We have promised Colby that he will be an inside dog from now on, which Colby thinks is a perfect idea! If you would like to offer Colby a home to call his own, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. 
A BIG THANK YOU TO MARSHA OF PRINCETON, NJ FOR OFFERING MAX A SAFE AND LOVING FOSTER HOME WHILE HE AWAITS HIS FOREVER FAMILY! Maxwell Smart is an 6 year old black Cocker Spaniel who is ready to show you his comedy routine. He will keep you laughing for hours as he juggles his huge collection of tennis balls. He loves them all equally, so he does not know which way to run first! Each leg wants to head in a different direction. However, Max is ready to share the loot and will readily release whatever he's holding, whether it's food or a favorite toy. Max is tireless when it comes to fetch, so if you're looking for a buddy to join you in the park, Max is definitely your guy! Max recently came to us from Animal Care and Control in Manhattan. Having been adopted from ACC two years ago, he was returned because his parents were expecting a new baby. Max is Smart enough not to grieve the loss of his last home too much, as he was cared for poorly there. He arrived back at ACC a matted mess and with nails the length of claws that were beginning to curl over into his toes, as well as with ear infections. Hopefully his former folks plan to take care of their human baby a whole lot better (shame on them). Max is definitely their loss, as he'll make a WONDERFUL pet for a family with kids. He's very loving and affectionate and quite a gentle soul. Max is neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on all shots and has tested negative for heartworm. Due to severe matting, he's been shaved down, but he will be a beautiful, full-coated Cocker once his handsome locks grow back in. If you would like to offer Max and his tennis balls the home they so deserve, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Adopting Max is among the Smartest Moves anyone could make. 
A BIG THANK YOU TO MEREDITH OF MANHATTAN (ADOPTIVE MOM TO FORMER ABANDONED ANGEL "TUFFY") FOR OFFERING BONNY A SAFE AND LOVING FOSTER HOME IN THE BIG APPLE! Bonny Lass is a beautiful sable Cockapoo just 5 years old who came into rescue as an owner surrender due to her mom's deterioriating health. She is a larger size Cockapoo weighing about 35 pounds. Bonny has the most beautiful coloring - different shades of deep blonde and mocha - which is not commonly seen. Bonny was purchased from a breeder as a puppy. She is a rather shy dog who is somewhat insecure. Bonny always want to be near her person, whether cuddling on the sofa in front of the TV or curled up against their feet at night. We are inclined to think that she would do best in an adult only home, as the activity level of rambunctious children would likely be overwhelming for her. We believe that she could benefit from living with a confident, calm and well-adjusted dog or with an experienced dog owner who could provide her with some much-needed reassurance. Bonny has been spayed, microchipped, is up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. She has just enjoyed a professional grooming and will go home with a new leash and collar. If you would like to offer this Bonny Lass a place called home, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. "My bonny lass she smileth, when she my heart beguileth ..." (Thomas Morley, 1595). 
UPDATE: A BIG THANK YOU TO JACQULINE OF CONEY ISLAND FOR OFFERING RUM RAISIN A SAFE AND LOVING FOSTER HOME BY THE SEA! Rum Raisin needs a FOSTER HOME or, better still, an adoptive home to call her own. Rum Raisin is a 10 year old black and tan female Cocker Spaniel who came into the Brooklyn shelter as a stray. When she went unclaimed, Rum Raisin was released to rescue. Rum Raisin is a very friendly girl with an EXCELLENT DISPOSITION, so much so that she could be trusted with even the smallest of children. Rum Raisin is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. She will go home professionally groomed and with a new leash and collar. If you would like to offer Rum Raisin a place to call home, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. 
Audi is a handsome 14 month chocolate brown Cocker Spaniel whose life sputtered and stalled when his family brought him to the Brooklyn shelter for euthanasia. The reason? Poor Audi had developed a cherry eye. While the shelter refused to put him down, Audi became so frightened there that he could not be placed in the adoption ward. As a result, he was released to rescue. Audi's cherry eye has now been repaired and his spirits have also regained their zoom. With his gorgeous coat and spunky manner, Audi is ready to strut his stuff at the autoshow! Audi has been neutered, microchipped, is up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. He will be professionally groomed prior to adoption and will go home with a new leash and collar. If you would like to drive off into the sunset with our Audi, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Audi is ready to burn rubber and head for home! 
Princess Leah is a very pretty 3 year old buff Cocker Spaniel who came into the Manhattan shelter as an owner surrender. She received a "No Concern" evaluation on her temperament test, as she is happy to demonstrate with her constantly wagging tail. She should make an excellent family pet! Princess Leah is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. She will shortly be treated to a professional grooming and will go home with a new leash and collar. If you are looking to treat a pet like a Princess, this little sweetie will make the perfect candidate. To adopt Princess Leah, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. We will then be in touch to arrange a royal audience with this inter-galactic Princess. 
THESE DOES WILL NOT BE SEPARATED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT US REGARDING CHLOE AND CLEO UNLESS YOU HAVE A SERIOUS INTEREST IN ADOPTING BOTH DOGS. WE WILL NOT BE RESPONDING TO EMAIL INQUIRIES TO ADOPT ONLY ONE OF THE PAIR. BIO: Chloe and Cleo are two adorable purebred female Sable Cocker Spaniels. Both girls are sweet as sugar. Chloe is 14 months old and weighs only 10 pounds. She is not underweight, just a very petite Cocker Spaniel. Chloe may be one of the smallest in size but the largest in heart and spirit. She is extremely energetic and playful. She reminds us of the Duracell Rabbit that keeps on running and never stops ... Chloe even hops like a Bunny! She is very loving and affectionate. Chloe gets along well with other dogs, especially her cousin Cleo. Cleo is 3 years old and weighs only 16 pounds. She is also very petite like her cousin Chloe, but is a bit broader built. With her deep set, wide brown eyes, she looks as though she is wearing eyeliner. Cleo is as sweet as she is beautiful. However, she is a bit shy. When her cousin Chloe gets up and running, Cleo will join in and her personality will then shine through. Both of these precious Angels are fully vaccinated; microchipped; heartworm negative; completely vetted; and recently spayed. We will only be placing these tiny treasures together, as they get along wonderfully well and are quite dependent on one another. They are crate-trained, but will need a little more help with housebreaking. Adopt this darling duo and you will receive double the fun and double the love. 
Get the max for the minimum with TJ Maxx! This adorable 4-5 year old male Yorkie weighing under 5 pounds came to us as an owner surrender when his family lost interest in him. We can't imagine why little Maxx did not hold their attention. What he lacks in size he makes up for in personality. In fact, we can't keep our paws off him ... he is just the sweetest boy ever. Thankfully, Maxx is tiny enough to go just about everywhere, which is certainly a good thing ... you'll never want to leave him at home. Maxx has been neutered, is up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. Maxx has just enjoyed a dental as well as a professional grooming and will go home with a new leash and collar. If you are looking for maximum love in a pint-sized package, then look no further ... to adopt Maxx, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. 
Cadbury (aka "Caddie") is a handsome 1-2 year old male Boykin Spaniel. With his handsome chocolate coat and splash of white on his chest, Caddie looks to be a purebred Boykin, but could possibly have some Springer or a similar breed in his line. Caddie is a wonderfully friendly dog who loves the company of people. He has a beautiful spirit and should make an excellent family pet. Caddie was found standing by the side of the road in a rural area, perhaps having been dumped out of a car. When his owners could not be located, his finder contacted rescue. Caddie is a very healthy boy who is neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on all shots, and heartworm negative. Caddie has just enjoyed a professional grooming and will go home with a new leash and collar. If you would like to offer Cadbury a place called home, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Caddie is waiting to hear from you! 
A BIG THANK YOU TO THE NYITRAY FAMILY OF THE POCONOS FOR OFFERING GENIE A SAFE AND LOVING FOSTER HOME IN RURAL PA!! If Genie is looking wide-eyed and incredulous these days, then it's with good reason. Things recently have not been quite what she bargained for. Sweet Genie clearly had a home once, but somehow ended up a stray. When her owners could not be located despite diligent efforts, Genie came into rescue. While initially rather overwhelmed, Genie has settled down nicely. She has dried her tears, blown her nose, and is ready to move on. Genie is estimated to be around 7 years old and is in good health. While she could stand to lose a pound or two, in her place, who would not engage in a little comfort eating? We believe that Genie would do well in a quiet, stable, adult only household or perhaps in a family with slightly older, dog-experienced kids. Genie is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. If you would like to offer Genie an adoptive home (or a foster home while she is waiting), please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application ... Genie will be checking her inbox daily! 
UPDATE: SHAWNA HAS BROKEN OUT OF HER SHELL AND IS NOW AS HAPPY AS CAN BE, EVEN GIVING KISSES. Shawna is a 5-6 year old buff female Cocker Spaniel who came to us from the Brooklyn shelter. She was a stray who went unclaimed. Shawna is a rather shy dog who will need time to come out of her shell and feel secure. She is only just beginning to wag her tail and feel confident enough to explore her surroundings. We believe that Shawna would do best in a quiet adult only home with a fair amount of dog experience, preferably with Cocker Spaniels. Shawna has been spayed, microchipped, is up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. She has just been professionally groomed and will go home with a new leash and collar. If you would like to offer Shawna a place called home, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Shawna is waiting to hear from you. 
Carson is a beautiful 1 year old buff female Cocker Spaniel who was found as a stray. When her owner could not be found, her good samaritan brought her to Manhattan Animal Care and Control. Carson is a very friendly and affectionate girl who does well with her "people" (including kids) as well as with other dogs. Her good samaritan found that she was not all that receptive to strangers, so a highly trafficked home with lots of visitors coming and going might not be the best match. Carson is in good health, has been spayed, microchipped, is up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. She has just been professionally groomed and will go home with a new leash and collar.

A BIG THANK YOU TO BEVERLY OF STROUDSBURG, PA, FOR OFFERING KODY A SAFE AND LOVING FOSTER HOME IN THE POCONO MOUNTAINS, WHICH KODY IS SHARING WITH HER OWN PACK OF HAPPY PUPS. Kody is a handsome 3 year old parti-colored (buff and white) Cocker Spaniel with a super sweet temperament. He is a very cuddly boy whose little tail is always on the go. Kody should make a good family pet in a home with slightly older kids. He gets along well with other dogs, so could easily join a multi-pet household. Kody has been neutered, microchipped, is up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. He has just enjoyed a professional grooming and will go home with a new leash and collar. If you would like to offer Kody a place to call home, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Kody is waiting to hear from you! 
Flannery is an adorable 8 month old buff female Cocker Spaniel puppy with an excellent temperament. Flannery will make an excellent family pet ... her little tail is always on the go! Flannery came into the Manhattan shelter as a stray. When she went unclaimed at the end of her stray period, Flannery was released to rescue. Flannery has been spayed, microchipped, is up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. She has just been professionally groomed and will go home with a new leash and collar. If you would like to offer Flannery a home for Valentine's Day, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Flannery is ready to be your new significant other! 
Princess is a very pretty 4 year old buff and white female Cocker Spaniel who came to us as an owner surrender. She was advertised as "free to a good home" on craigslist about a year ago, which is never a good idea. Her family was in the habit of purchasing a female puppy from a petstore, breeding her, selling her pups, and then giving the dog away. They had done so three times previously, so Princess was just their latest disposable pet. Princess ended up with someone who soon realized that she did not have the necessary time or resources to care for her, but cared enough to surrender her to rescue. Princess has now been spayed, microchipped, tested for heartworm, and received all of her shots. We have also treated her to a dental and provided her with treatment for a skin infection. She now feels like royalty! Princess is a very gentle girl who gets along well with other dogs and should also be fine with cats. She loves people and is docile enough to be trusted with young children. If you would like to offer Princess a place in your palace, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Princess will be checking her inbox daily. 
Max-a-Million is one in a million ... super cute, super sweet, and hypoallergenic to boot! This adorable 4 year old toy poodle spent the whole of his life with one family and then was inexplicably dumped at the Manhattan shelter. We saw little Max sitting forlornly in his cage when we came to pick up a Cocker. He had been surrendered just a few hours before and was looking very bewildered. We immediately arranged for Max to be sprung. Max has been neutered, microchipped, is up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. He will be professionally groomed before adoption and will go home with a new leash and collar. If you would like to meet Max-a-Million, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Adopt him today and hit the jackpot! 
Megan Valentine is a pretty, petite female Cocker Spaniel roughly 8 years old. She is looking for a FOSTER HOME or, better still, an adoptive home where she can grow old gracefully. Right now she is still full of spunk! Meggie found herself dumped at Animal Care and Control on Staten Island with her baby brother several months ago. Her family claimed to be moving and that their pets could not come along. Meggie's handsome little brother was quickly adopted, but as an older dog, Meggie found herself waiting in the wings. We marvel that anyone could have passed her by (let alone left her at a kill shelter), as this little cupid is SIMPLY A PLEASURE. Meggie has an A+ temperament, so much so that we would feel comfortable placing her in a home with toddlers. Meggie is very affectionate and extremely well behaved. As she loves to kiss and cuddle, she is the PERFECT VALENTINE! Meggie is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. She has just had a dental, as well as full bloodwork, which showed her to be a very healthy girl. So don't be shy ... it's time to profess your love! If you would like to offer Megan Valentine a place called home, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Meggie will be checking her inbox daily! 
Kimmy is an adorable 8 pound Toy Poodle. This little princess is just 5 years old. Kimmy found herself surrendered to the Manhattan Shelter when her owner encountered "personal prolems." Kimmy was surrendered with a severe orthopedic injury to a rear leg, so had a few "personal problems" of her own to contend with. Despite our best efforts, the leg could not be saved and we recently made the heartbreaking decision to amputate it. Kimmy is not remotely hampered by the absence of the leg. She races around like a centipede and is happy as can be. All she wants to do is kiss and wiggle! Kimmy is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. She has been professionally groomed and will go home with a new leash and collar. If you would like to adopt Kimmy, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Kimmy is waiting to hear from you! 
Porsche is a beautiful 2 year old female Cocker Spaniel who recently came to us as an owner surrender. While predominantly chocolate and white, you can see the hint of tan over her eyebrows, which actually makes her a tri-color. Porsche is a very friendly, very loving dog who is eager to bond with a new family. She has an excellent disposition, both with people and with other animals. Porsche is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date with all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. She will shortly be treated to a professional grooming, following which we will post a photo of a newly pampered Porsche. Porsche recently told Cupid that she is in the market for a new love. If you would like to offer Porsche a place called home for Valentine's Day, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. 
Muffy is a very darling 6 year old buff female Cocker Spaniel with a very full and curly coat (she was recently shaved down due to severe matting). Dogs like Muffy are the reason why we rescue. She is a very heartbreaking neglect case who came to us from Manhattan Animal Care and Control, where she had been surrendered by someone we can only call a monster. This adorable, ultra-sweet girl came to us in horrific condition, with badly infected ears and eyes, claw-like nails embedded in her paw pads, and feet so badly matted that she might as well have been walking on rocks. How she managed to walk at all we will never know. Every step must have been sheer torture for her. Muffy has obviously been bred many times and her last litter seems to have been born quite recently (the whereabouts of the pups are unknown). As she was evidently a money-making proposition for them, one would think that Muffy would have received at least a little care, but monsters are rarely logical. One can only hope that none of her offspring are being used to replace her. Muffy is fully housebroken and loves to nest in her crate. She is gentle with people as well as with other pets (both dogs and cats) and enjoys climbing in one's lap for hugs and cuddles. She will make a wonderful family pet. Muffy has been microchpped, is up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. She will shortly be spayed, will have two cherry eyes corrected, and will also be receiving a dental. She has just enjoyed a professional grooming and will go home with a new leash and collar. Muffy is looking forward to a cozy life in a household where there are no monsters in the closet or under the bed. If you can offer this little angel all the rewards that she so deserves after enduring a nightmare of misery and neglect, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Muffy has been waiting her entire life to hear from you. 
Calling all Cocker Lovers who are looking for a Cocker friendly kitty ... you have definitely found her! Cocker Kitty is a young adult cat (she has just left kittenhood behind her). Cocker Kitty was a stray who was found by some passersby and abandoned at a vet clinic where we treat many of our rescued Cocker Spaniels. When we realized what an amazing cat she is, we of course we undertook to find her a home. Cocker Kitty LOVES dogs, especially all of the Cocker Spaniels she has met. She would be a great addition to a Cocker Spaniel household. Cocker Kitty is also EXTREMELY AFFECTIONATE with people. She purrs with delight whenever offered the slightest bit of attention. Cocker Kitty has tested negative for Feline AIDS/Leukemia, is up-to-date on all shots, and has been spayed. She is all ready to go to her forever home, preferably one with a Cocker Spaniel or two for company. If you would like to adopt Cocker Kitty, please contact us to discuss her further. 
A BIG THANK YOU TO MEREDITH OF MANHATTAN FOR OFFERING TUFFY A SAFE AND LOVING FOSTER HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS! Tuffy is a handsome 4 year old buff and white Cocker Spaniel who was found as a terrified stray in the street. He was literally shaking from head to toe. The good samaritan who found him gave him the tongue-in-cheek name of "Tuffy", since he is anything but! When Tuffy's owners could not be located, Tuffy came into Rescue. Tuffy is in good health and looks to have been well taken care of during his life, so how he came to lose his home we will never know. Tuffy loves people and gets along well with other dogs. We believe would do fine with kids. Tuffy has been neutered, microchipped, is up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. If you would like to offer Tuffy a home for the holidays, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Tuffy could really use a Softie to make his life complete. 
A BIG THANK YOU TO DIANE OF CANDOR, NY (JETSON'S FINDER) FOR OFFERING JETSON A SAFE AND LOVING FOSTER HOME WHILE HE AWAITS HIS FOREVER FAMILY. Jetson is a handsome parti-colored male Cocker Spaniel believed to be about 2 years old. Jetzie was found as a stray in Candor, NY. Jetzie's finder posted signs in the area and also reported him to Animal Control but, amazingly enough, no one came looking for this adorable little guy. Jetzie is a very friendly boy who loves to play with toys and enjoys the company of both people and other pets. As he has shown no aggression in his foster home, he could definitely be placed with kids. Jetzie has been neutered, microchipped, is up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. If you would like to offer Jetzie a home to call his own, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com ... Jetzie is waiting to hear from you! 
Enrique is a typical Latin Lover ... he is ready to set your heart on fire! Enrique is a 10-12 month old buff Cocker Spaniel puppy who was surrendered to Manhattan Animal Care and Control due to landlord issues. He is extremely outgoing and simply LOVES people. His little propeller of a tail is always on the go, so much so that we almost worry that he will start to fly the friendly skies. Enrique has been neutered, microchipped, is up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. He has been professionally groomed and will go home with a new leash and collar. If you have been looking for a Latin Lover with whom to share this Valentine's Day, then please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Enrique is ready to sing you a love song. 
Cassandra is a very beautiful chocolate Cocker Spaniel just 2 years old. Cassie was adopted by a Westchester family through the classifieds but the other dog in the home has not taken to her. As a result, she is being surrendered to rescue. Cassie is a very loving dog with looks and charm galore. She loves people and gets along well with other pets (she's disappointed that her current canine sibling could not reciprocate). Cassie has been spayed, microchipped, is up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. She does need a little help with housebreaking, but should respond well to crate-training and a regular schedule. If you would like to offer Cassie a home for the holidays, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Cassie will be checking her inbox daily. 
Heaven is a handsome 3 year old sable male Cocker Spaniel who came from a breeder who found herself with too many dogs. Heaven was himself never used as a breeding dog, he was simply never sold. And lucky for us ... he is an absolutely wonderful find! His temperament is just angelic. Heaven is happiest when in the company of several other dogs, as he grew up with an extended Cocker Spaniel family around him. He is still a little timid with people, but making progress by leaps and bounds. Each day he becomes a little more confident. We are looking for an experienced Cocker home for Heaven with at least one other dog. Heaven has been neutered, microchipped, is up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. If you would like to offer Heaven a place on your Cloud 9, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Heaven can't wait! 
J.R. is a handsome 10 month old Brittany Spaniel/Cavalier King Charles cross. When his family was evicted from their home, J.R. and the family cat were left behind to fend for themselves. Fortunately for J.R., a boarding facility was located just across from his apartment building. When the manager heard about his fate, she took him in and found rescue placement for him. Despite his rough beginnings, J.R. is a very well-adjusted dog who loves the company of people. He is accustomed to living with children and is gentle enough to be placed with young kids. He also gets along well with other pets, both dogs and cats. What's more, he's fully housebroken! While J.R. is rather confused by the sudden change in his life circumstances, he is beginning to adjust. We have promised J.R. that a better life is just around the corner for him. He is definitely looking forward to all that lies ahead! J.R. is neutered, up-to-date on all shots, microchipped, and has tested negative for heartworm. He will be professionally groomed before adoption and will go home with a new leash and collar. If you would like to offer J.R. a place to call home, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. J.R. will be checking his inbox daily! 
Charles In Charge is a handsome 1 year old buff male Cocker Spaniel with a fabulous temperament. He is gentle and friendly towards everyone he meets. Charlie is a very happy boy whose favorite pastime is playing with his fleecy toys. While he could easily join a multi-pet household, Charlie is so great at keeping himself occupied that he would be unlikely to be lonely as an only dog. Charlie has been neutered, microchipped, is up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. All he needs now is a home to call his own. If you have been feeling a little lost and overhwhelmed this holiday season, don't despair ... Charles In Charge has everything well in hand. If you would like to meet Charlie, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Charlie is waiting to hear from you! 
A BIG THANK YOU TO DEE OF LAURELTON, NY FOR OFFERING BOSCO A SAFE AND LOVING FOSTER HOME, WHICH HE IS SHARING WITH DEE'S OTHER PAMPERED PETS! DEE REPORTS THAT BOSCO IS HOUSEBROKEN AND BEHAVING HIMSELF BEAUTIFULLY! Bosco is a Shih Tzu/Pomerainian cross weighing under 15 pounds who has come to us as an owner surrender. Bosco started life out as a "designer dog" purchase in a pet store. When his novelty wore off in his initial home, he was surrendered to Animal Care and Control in Brooklyn and subsequently came into rescue. Bosco gets along well with other dogs and enjoys the company of people. He should make a good family pet, although we would prefer to see him in a home with slightly older kids. Bosco has been neutered, microchipped, is up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. If you are looking for an extra special lap dog and would like to offer Bosco a place to call home, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Bosco will be checking his inbox daily!  
A BIG THANK YOU TO ASHLEY OF MANHATTAN FOR OFFERING RAY CHARLES A SAFE AND LOVING FOSTER HOME. Dear Santa, Hello, my name is Ray Charles. I am a leading Canine Blues artist and with good reason. I was found on the side of the road in decrepit condition and brought to a local vet clinic, where the staff was not sure who or what I was. They knew I was a dog (that much was clear) but what type of breed or even what sex lay beneath my dred locks was not at all apparent. Can you believe my BEFORE and AFTER pictures? To be honest, even I can't tell which end is which! I was so matted that I had to be sedated in order to be shaved down, whereupon they discovered that I was a tri-color male Cocker Spaniel (I am mostly black, but I have a little white on my chest and tan points on my feet and brows). I was reported as a lost dog to Animal Control, but when no one came to claim me (given my appearance, are you surprised?) they asked Cocker Rescue to come for me. I am a very loving, friendly boy, but I need an experienced owner who will be firm with me. I need someone to remind me that the Top Dog is always the owner and never the dog, which was kind of news to me. I mean, who knew? I love other dogs, although (surprise, surprise) I want to be the leader of the pack. I am neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on all shots, and have tested negative for heartworm. All that I need to make my life complete is a place called home (and of course some obedience training). I am writing you this letter as I have heard from other dogs in rescue that you can help make dreams come true. All I want for Christmas is someone to love me. Is that something you could put under the tree for me? If you have any thoughts as to how my dream could become reality, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com. I'll be checking my inbox daily. Affectionately yours, Ray Charles 
Tiny Dancer is a beautiful 8 month old purebred Cocker Spaniel puppy with an A+ temperament. Tiny Dancer is a very petite girl who came into the Manhattan shelter an emaciated stray. Despite all she has been through, Tiny Dancer is very happy girl. Her favorite pastime is doing the "wiggle dance." Forget about holiday stress ... Tiny Dancer is a poster child for holiday happiness. She will make a fabulous family pet!! Tiny Dancer is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. If you would like to tango with Tiny Dancer, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Tiny Dancer is looking for a new partner.  
Look who dropped in for the Thanksgiving Day Parade and a little Black Friday Shopping! Meet Macy, a 10 year old buff female Cocker Spaniel. Macy is a petite and adorable girl who is remarkably calm and well adjusted for all she has been through. She is VERY SWEET AND DOCILE and spends much of her time napping on the sofa. Macy lost her home when her elderly owner went into an assisted living facility where dogs are not allowed. No one in the family would take poor Macy in (so much for the holiday spirit), so she came into rescue. Macy gets along well with people and is fine with other dogs. She is a very calm girl, so we anticipate that she would do well with cats. Macy has been spayed, microchipped, is up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. She does seem to be somewhat hard of hearing (not surprising for an older girl) but has been fully vet checked (including bloodwork) and overall is in excellent health. If you would like to offer Macy a home for the holidays, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Macy is waiting to begin her winter romance with her new forever family! 
Hi, my name is Benjamin. I am a 10-12 month old purebred Cocker Spaniel with a great temperament and am handsome as can be! No one is cuter than I am! I have all the great qualities of an older puppy. I am extremely playful and very loving and will make a great family pet! I am a little shy with new people (of course that lasts all of thirty seconds), then I'm all set to be friends. And who could ask for a better friend than me? Let's stick together through thick and thin! I am neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on all shots, and have tested negative for heartworm. All I need is a place called home. If you'd like that home to be yours (sounds good to me!) please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. I'll be checking my inbox daily. Love, Benjamin 
A BIG THANK YOU TO KATE OF MAHWAH, NJ FOR OFFERING A SAFE AND LOVING FOSTER HOME TO THIS VERY SPECIAL SENIOR GIRL. Lily needs a FOSTER HOME ... or better still, an adoptive home where she can live out her golden years in safety and comfort. Lily is one of those unfortunate seniors who was dumped at a kill shelter by her heartless family simply because she got "too old." How could anyone be so ruthless towards such a sweet and gentle creature, especially one who had been a member of the family for upwards of a decade? Lily has no health or behavioral problems that our vet has been able to detect other than an upper respiratory infection that she contracted in the Manhattan shelter (following which she ended up on the euthanasia list). Lily is housebroken, good with kids, and fine with other dogs. She'll make the perfect foster or adoptive pet for someone who has a heart for Golden Girls. Lily is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on all shots, and heartworm negative. If you would like to offer this sweet senior a place to call home, please email Abandoned Angels and request an application. Lily is waiting to hear from you! 
Sweet little Miss Mandy hails from Missouri. A kind soul noticed that her time was going to be up and agreed to be her Guardian Angel. A bunch of dedicated rescue transporters brought her to the Big Apple. Mandy is a 2 year old chocolate and white female cocker spaniel. She must have been the runt of the litter. She’s such a little thing not even 20 lbs. Although she’s small she has such a big heart full of love for everyone she meets. Her tail never stops wagging. A true wiggle butt. Loves, loves kids, even the very young ones, and dogs. Mandy is housebroken, well behaved and quiet. She’s spayed, up-to-date on her shots and Heartworm negative. It appears that she may have a cataract in one eye. But one would never know it. She moves as if her eye sight were 20/20. Please contact Rebecca by email at bagelriv@aol.com if you are interested in adopting Mandy. 
Blue-Eyed Baby is a purebred 10-12 month old black and white Shih Tzu with a little pink nose. This utterly adorable boy has one sky blue eye, which gives him a very striking appearance. He is just handsome as can be! Blue-Eyed Baby has a winning personality to boot ... his little tail is always on the go. He is a very friendly boy! Blue-Eyed Baby had the misfortune of being mistreated in his first home and ultimately ended up at Brooklyn Animal Care and Control. While at first somewhat fearful and hesitant to trust, within a week or so Blue-Eyed Baby had decided that most people could be considered friends. Since he rounded that corner, Blue-Eyed Baby has never looked back! Blue-Eyed Baby will make a good family pet, although we believe would do best in a home with slightly older kids. Blue-Eyed Baby loves other dogs and we believe will do fine with cats, so could easily join a multiple pet household. Blue-Eyed Baby is neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. If you would like to offer Blue-Eyed Baby a home for the holidays, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Blue-Eyed Baby and his friend the Stork will be checking our inbox daily. 
UPDATE: SIMBA WILL BE STAYING WITH ABANDONED ANGELS. HE WILL ALWAYS BE DADDY'S BOY! They say that chocolate is a substitute for love … well, I am love and chocolate all rolled up into one! My name is Simba, and I am a handsome chocolate brown male Cocker Spaniel. Last Christmas Eve, I turned three years old. I had a family once, but when they moved away, I was left behind. Fortunately, they surrendered me to cocker rescue, so I was spared the trauma of being left at a shelter. Although at first I missed my family, my memories of them are starting to fade. I have been doing well in my foster home, where I get lots of love, toys and treats. Everyone is always telling me what a good boy I am. I get along well with other dogs as long as they are small … big dogs tend to intimidate me a bit. I love people (especially women) and am always wagging my stubby little tail. I guess you could call me a Mama's Boy. I am not too friendly towards men, but can warm up to certain men, provided they are nice to me and give me the chance to overcome my apprehensions. I am very smart and listen well. I am also HOUSEBROKEN and will ask to go out when I need to. I am very affectionate and very devoted to those I love. Do you dream of love, hugs and chocolate? If so, then I'm the guy for you … let me make your dreams come true! 
UPDATE: A BIG THANK YOU TO SUSAN OF MANHATTAN FOR OFFERING HIPPIE CHIC A SAFE AND LOVING FOSTER HOME. Hippie-Chic is a beautiful 3 year old Cocker/Beagle cross who was an owner surrender to the Manhattan Shelter. We believe that she was beaten regularly in her previous home, especially when she had accidents. Hippie-Chic becomes terrified if she perceives that she has done something "wrong" and is quite fearful of new people or those of whom she is unsure. She does not respond aggressively when frightened, she simply cowers in a way that is quite heartbreaking. We believe that Hippie-Chic will require lots of TLC and time to warm up to her new family before she feels fully at home. Hippie-Chic has been spayed, microchipped, is up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. She will be professionally groomed prior to adoption and will go home with a new leash and collar. Whether your taste runs towards the hip or the traditional (or somewhere in between), Hippie-Chic will look great by your side! Although she appreciates fashion as much as the next girl, Hippie-Chic is not a fad and needs a home for every season. If you would like that home to be yours, please contact us to discuss her further. 
A BIG THANK YOU TO THE REEVES FAMILY OF LARCHMONT, NY FOR FOSTERING FRISBEE AND HIS FOSTER BROTHER, TONY! Meet our Frisbee, a handsome 2 year old male Cocker Spaniel with a natural tail. Frisbee's coat is a beautiful shade of reddish buff with blonde highlights. Frisbee was a stray who was turned into Manhattan Animal Control. Poor Frisbee reacted badly to the stress of the shelter environment and found himself on the euthanasia list when his stray time was up. Fortunately for Frisbee, an Angel was looking over his shoulder. When we at Cocker Rescue heard about his fate, we knew that we would have to find space for this poor terrified soul. Since coming into Rescue, Frisbee has begun to relax and come out of his shell. Slowly but surely, he is starting to trust again. Frisbee is FULLY HOUSEBROKEN, neutered, up-to-date on shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. If you would like to open your heart and home to Frisbee, please contact us to discuss him further. 
Santa would like you to know that Elves come in many shapes and sizes. This one is a 6 year old apricot toy poodle weighing just 10 pounds. Elf came to us from Brooklyn Animal Care and Control, where he had been turned in as a stray. He was found wandering around Brighton Beach just before Thanksgiving in weather hardly appropriate for sunbathing! Elf is a very friendly boy who would make an excellent family pet. He gets along well with people and is very playful with other dogs, so he could easily join a multi-pet household. As he has demonstrated no aggression whatsoever, we believe he would be fine with kids. And if course he is a HYPOALLERGENIC pup (always a plus). Elf is neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. If you are looking for an Elf to help you decorate your home with boughs of holly this holiday season (and perhaps to join you on your shopping expedition), ours is sure to fit the bill (as well as your handbag). Elf will be checking his inbox daily, so don't delay ... email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application! 
Action Jackson is an adorable 1-2 year old sable male Cocker Spaniel. He's such a cutie, we could just eat him up! We'd have to catch him first, though, which is not always easy! Action Jackson is always on the go. After all, he's in a hurry to reach an important destination. If you're wondering where he's headed, Action Jackson will be the first to tell you ... he wants to go HOME! We've assured him that he should have no shortage of offers. In addition to his good looks, Action Jackson is a very friendly boy who has so far demonstrated no aggression towards people or other pets. We therefore believe he'll make an excellent family pet. While he's the ultimate sweetie, Action Jackson could definitely use some guidance in the ways of the world ... everything from housebreaking to which toys belong to him. Not to worry, though ... Action Jackson is prepared to follow, he just needs an experienced owner to lead the way. Action Jackson is neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. He will be professionally groomed before adoption and will go home with a new leash and collar. If you would like to Take Action, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application! 
MANY THANKS TO MRS. GUIFFRE FOR OFFERING MAGGIE A SAFE AND LOVING FOSTER HOME IN BAY RIDGE, BROOKLYN, WHICH MAGGIE IS SHARING WITH DONDI THE CAT! Maggie is a beautiful female Cocker Spaniel who was found tied up outside of Brooklyn Animal Care and Control. When she went unclaimed at the end of her stray period, Maggie was surrendered to Abandoned Angels. Maggie obviously led a difficult existence prior to coming into Rescue, so much so that we find it difficult to assess her age. As her teeth are in great shape, the shelter felt she was around 2, but we believe she could be as old as 6. It has also occurred to us that she may be a young dog who was never given ample time to recover in between litters of pups. Maggie can be timid with new people, but warms up once she understands that she will not be hurt. Once she trusts, she becomes extremely loving. Maggie is very well behaved in the house (she is fully housebroken) and does well with other pets (both dogs and cats). She has even been known to walk up to another cocker in her foster home and give the dog a kiss. She recently comforted a newcomer from the pound by giving him a few encouraging licks on the face, as if to tell him, "I've been where you are ... don't worry, everything will be okay." A false start in an adoptive home has led us to conclude that it is essential for Maggie to be placed in an experienced Cocker Spaniel family with owners who are accustomed to flushing cocker ears on a regular basis, even if the dog objects. While Maggie's ears are in good shape, they are delicate and will absolutely become infected if not diligently maintained. Although Maggie is not an aggressive dog, she is capable of biting in response to ear pain. As a result, she will not be placed in a home with young kids. Maggie has been spayed, microchipped, is up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. She has been professionally groomed and will go home with a new leash and collar. If you believe that you can offer Maggie a loving, experienced Cocker Spaniel home, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. 
Carlie says peek-a-BOO for Halloween! This adorable tri-color female Cocker Spaniel (white, black and tan) has the most beautiful markings! Sweet Carlie is an older puppy just 10-12 months old with an A+ temperament ... she will make an EXCELLENT FAMILY PET! Carlie is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. If you would like to celebrate this festive time of year with Carlie, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com and request an application. Carlie will be checking her email inbox daily! |
