Honoring our Cocker Kids
Last week was my scramble to get taxes done week. And we finally made our appointment with an estate attorney to get our trust reviewed. It is 20 years old and it needed a quick review and updating. It was a chance to add Second Chance’s H.A.L.O. program into our trust so our Cockers have a safety net in case our family can’t step up and take care of my beloved babies. We have been meaning to do this, talking about it and generally procrastinating for several years. Now it is done and it feels great. The other thing we were able to do was to add SCCR as a beneficiary. We had spoken to several other super Cocker supporters who had also included SCCR in their trusts and felt this was the best way to help ensure our work continues.Two Classy Dogs with a Rough Past
Look at these adorable faces, Rhett and Scarlett! These gorgeous Cockers were found together dumped on a street in Tulare, CA. A good samaritan took them to the Bakersfield shelter. Second Chance Cocker Rescue scooped both of them up as they appeared to be inseparable. It is not often that we get young bonded pairs. After taking them to the vet, it appeared that Scarlett, 2 to 3 years old, had had many litters and most likely the people who dumped her 
didn’t want her or her mate anymore. Rhett appears to be around 4 years old. Besides Rhett having an ear infection, both are in good health.
These two have great personalities. They are wonderful with other dogs, adults, kids, and seem ok with cats too! They love giving puppy kisses and love snuggling. They are great on walks and love riding in cars. They must be adopted together. They become agitated and won’t eat 
well when separated, even for only a few minutes. But seriously, who would want to see Rhett and Scarlett separated?
We are having them spayed and neutered and then they will be ready for adoption! Any assistance with their veterinary care is deeply appreciated!
I Need a Little TLC!
A week ago I was just a number. I long number behind bars in a cold, scary place. People walked by and laughed at me, but I wasn’t sure why. I’m cute and lovable. I was hoping one of them would take me out of the kennel to play with me. I prayed with my little paws for a way out. The stars must have been aligned because a really nice lady came, took me in her arms and brought me to a warm and comfy home. I heard her talking to some others, saying I have something called a prolapsed rectum. I’m not sure what that means, but I do know that I’m not that comfortable around my back side. I may look silly sitting like a frog, but it’s easier for my tushie. I heard her say they are going to fix me up so I will feel good and look good. I’m so happy to have this second chance to have a happy, healthy life. I promise to keep you posted!
Love, Jonesy
Anything you give to help our newest medical needs dog, Jonesy is so appreciated!
I’m a Barbie Girl, In a Cocker Rescue World
Meet Barbie. Isn’t she pretty? Second Chance Cocker Rescue snatched her up from the San Bernadino Shelter last week. She’s a mini girl, only ten pounds, approximately one year old. She may have a little Doxi mixed in with her Cocker blood.
Barbie loves playing with other dogs, fetching balls, running around with her foster mom, but she is also a little nippy if someone comes toward her too quickly. We are working on letting her know not all people are bad, and that she can trust again.
Barbie has a large hernia or tumor which needs to be removed. We are getting that taken care of soon. She will also be groomed, trained 
and ready for a foster and soon forever home. Could you see this sweet face in your family? If so, please fill out an application.
Any donations toward her surgery are much appreciated!
Thank you!
Destiny, Pestiny, Bestiny
I received a call from Elizabeth Mazzetti fall of 2014. She had a little girl cocker that they had rescued and days later had to have emergency blood transfusions due to bleeding internally.
queen of our pack, loved the dog park, learned the agility course, wearing hats, never met anyone she didn’t love, (Except squirrels, she hated squirrels)
She got to visit with Santa, not once, but twice!
Our Big Dream for the Future
We have a dream of building our own facility. We want a place where you can come visit us and meet all the dogs; a place where the dogs can live in comfort until they are adopted or find a foster home. We want live in staff, heated and air conditioned cute houses for the dogs with huge runs where they can run and play with their friends. We want a Bed & Biscuit area for the seniors and we want it bigger and better than ever before. We want it in a location that is easy to get to and fun to visit. We want to give you tours and let you stay to play with the dogs.
Just last year a supporter left us something in her will. It was just enough to get us thinking that maybe, just maybe with a lot of hard work and more money our dream could be a reality. We are not afraid of hard work and we hope we can raise the money to make it all come true. 
We took our first check and started an investment account that is the start of our dowpayment for some property. We are calling it the Building Fund. It will go towards buying property, buildings and equipment. We are years off from making our dream come true but we wanted to let you know our plans and if anyone wants to help us make them come true you can make a donation and mark it for the “Building Fund”. We will add it into our investment account and let it grow while we write business plans, work on grants and make this happen.
Help us make the dream come true. Thank you.
“Teddy Bear” pup needs Cherry Eye Surgery
At the tender age of 4 months, Teddy Bear popped a cherry eye. As soon as the family found out how much it cost to fix, they decided to give him away. Second Chance Cocker Rescue could not have been more delighted! We will fix him up good as new, and find him a family that cares enough to take care of him properly.Sweet Talker “Gabby”Gives Kisses of Gratitude
We found this sweet girl in pretty bad shape at the Orange County Shelter last week. She had 
several mammary tumors, terrible teeth, was covered in fleas and itching terribly. There was no way we were going to leave her there. While on her freedom ride she would not stop gabbing so we named her “Gabby.”
Gabby is about 7 years old, a petite red/white parti-colored girl with a happy wagging docked tail. All the volunteers who have spent time with her say she is a kind, gentle little love muffin. She is a non-stop kisser 
and loves to be held.
She will make a wonderful family member and we know she can’t wait for that day.
We will have her vetted this week and schedule surgery for the tumors, teeth and spaying. Then she will be ready for adoption.
Any help you can give is so appreciated.
We Couldn’t Give Up On Asher
This is Asher on the way to Carolyn’s from the Long Beach shelter after being pulled last week. He couldn’t stop looking out the window at the world going by.
Asher had lived with his family his whole life. He is now old and in poor shape with abcessed teeth, dry eye, an untreated cherry eye and arthritis. He is in a lot if pain. Something happened at home and he bit his mom. Instead of taking Asher to the vet to get medical treatment she took him to the shelter and demanded they euthanize him. Fortuneately for Asher, Long Beach has a compassionate staff and they know their dogs.
We got an email from the rescue coordinator asking us to consider taking Asher. We sent down our expierenced transporters and we are not sure what happened but Asher ended up on the end of a catch poll and showed them his terrifed side. It must have been pretty impressive because these ladies know what they are doing and are not intimidated easily. They had to leave without him.
We could not stop thinking about Asher. Cockers are so sensitive they can show terribly at shelters. We had to give Asher one more chance so Elizabeth drove down from Santa Barbara to evaluate him and see if she could get him in her car. It was his lucky day! He was a gentleman the whole time and was so relieved to be in the car and out of the shelter he stared out the window and watched the world he never thought he would see again go by for the entire hour and a half ride. He greeted Carolyn and her staff politely with lots of tail wagging.
He will go to the vet on Monday and we will make sure he is out of pain for the rest of his life. The Bed and Biscuit kids will welcome him with open arms. He will need a dental and surgery on that eye. Can you help us with the medical bills?
