there are not happy,even though the shelter for animals personal is kind and loving.

The
advantage of getting a Cocker Spaniel rescue dog is that it will cost you considerably
less that purchasing one from the breeders. Usually, a mature dog is trained and
will hopefully not need any housebreaking, but just a few sessions of routine

breeding purposes or sell them for a suitable fee.

dogs are disturbed due to the fact that they are left by their former owners at
the shelter. They may never recover from the shock, which may in turn cause violet
reactions and gestures you will not see at a first glance, but will find out later
when you get the dog home.

the dog with you for a few days as trial before purchase to see if the dog is
suitable for you and your family.

to save or help the dog.
