Bella
About a week ago we got a call from the founder of World of Angels Foundation. She lives here in the states, but has a network or people all over Asia saving dogs from the dog meat trade, as well as other bad situations. She contacted us because they had a precious little cocker who was being held in a ‘police pound’. Apparently these are terrible places where they don’t even feed the dogs. They are kept there until they are sold into the meat trade, or die of starvation……whichever comes first. This little cocker, Belle, had a huge bulging eye from glaucoma and it couldn’t wait to be taken care over here. The founder of the organization had the surgery done there. We told them, yes we will take her into rescue here in California. Well, the little angel flew into LAX on Thursday and now we have her. She is an adorable little bundle of fluff and her other eye does not look good. She is blind, so chances are she has glaucoma in the remaining eye as well and we will see what the vet says next week. She is a lovely red girl and about 6 years old. She is still a bit traumatized from her long journey and is seriously attached to the crate she flew to the states in. She wants to be in her crate, or on top of it. That is her safe place. We’ve got her coming out of it quickly, and she is eating well now, but this is going to take a little time to decompress this girl. When she does come out of her crate (door is open 24/7), when she hears your voice, her little butt wiggles a hundred miles an hour. Can you even imagine flying all the way from Seoul (where her foster home was) to LAX by yourself and blind? I am traumatized just thinking of how scary it must have been for her. When you pick her up and carry her, she wraps her front legs around your arm so tightly you would think it was a person.
We will get better pictures as soon as possible and update you after her vet check on Tuesday. All we can tell you now, is she is 100% precious. Chances are we will have to either chemically ablate the other eye, or remove it entirely. We understand that some of you may not want to donate towards a dog from another country. We understand that with so many dogs in our local shelters. But when someone asks us to take a cocker, we respond. We feel fortunate that we were able to take this little girl on and ultimately find her a forever home where she will be safe for the rest of her life. She does fine with other dogs and was even good with the transporters young child.

It Happened Again…..Meet Nash!
We got an email the other day from the OC shelter asking us to consider a nice 13 year old boy they had. He had been picked up as a stray and no one came for him. We are absolutely full with medical dogs right now, but we couldn’t say no. We picked Nash up today and he is a sweet little guy and we are glad we are able to help him. He has a heart murmur, almost all of his teeth are fractured, immature cataracts (but not blind), an ear infection, is emaciated, and possibly has testicular cancer (one side is bigger than the other side). One of his ear flaps is lumpy with scar tissue from a hematoma. Unfortunately that won’t be fixable now. All we can do is shake our heads and wonder what the heck is wrong with people to allow their pet to get into this condition, then not even go looking for him. Of course, we don’t know the back story on him, but can only wonder.
So rescue family, we once again need some extra help. This boy is going to have some medical bills, starting with the basics like blood panel and fecal to see if his body condition is related to malnutrition, parasites or something else. If all looks good, he will be having a dental with obvious extractions and a neuter with biopsy. Hopefully we can bring him back to a healthy state to live his life out comfortably and with love and affection. He has definitely been neglected for a long time.

Meet Lulu!
Meet Lulu! She is a 2-3 year old chi mystery mix who is great people and dogs. This is one party girl. She loves a good time and is all about people. She has the most amazing blue eyes and is probably deaf as many white dogs with blue eyes are. This is one fun loving cuddly girl for a fun family. She is sensitive to the sun so we are getting her some Doggles (doggie sunglasses) to go home with.
Lulu is currently in Jamestown and ready for adoption.
If you’d like to give Lulu a forever home please complete an online application:

Little Wonton
Meet Wonton: We just picked up this precious little bundle of pure puppy energy from the shelter. He is coned because his neuter incision is not fully healed yet. He had been adopted and returned the same day because the adopters thought there might be something wrong with him because when he was running and playing he would occasionally fall down! The shelter sent him out for xrays of his back legs and hips and they showed nothing wrong with him. Xrays were not taken of his front legs, but will be done with our vet next week. The shelter contacted us and asked if we could take him, and who could resist that face? Wonton is a typical 10 week old puppy. Eat, sleep, play, repeat. Oh yeah, stop and try to nibble on people and anything else he can get his little mouth on. We will need to do further diagnostic testing to make sure there is nothing structurally wrong with him, but so far we cannot see anything while he is running and playing. Just a typical puppy! Wonton is not ready for adoption yet, but we will keep you updated after his vet visit next week. He is currently in So. California.–ADOPTED!!!
Once he is available if you have already submitted an application with us please do not submit another one. Instead contact Carolyn at romogirl@earthlink.net to express your interest.

Second Chance Cocker Rescue Turns 20 Years Old This Year!
We remember how proud we were to have our non-profit status and were ready to go out and rescue some Cockers! We decided to start by introducing ourselves to the local rescues and shelters in the area. The three main shelters were all on the same street so we just started knocking on doors. Everyone was very positive and welcoming and we were feeling pretty good by the time we got to the last shelter on the street run by a local group, DAWG. As we knocked on the door, who should greet us but the founder Shirley Jensen one of the, if not the, pillars of rescue in the Santa Barbara area. Once she heard what we were doing, she threw up her hands, shouted wait right there and turned and ran off. She came right back with a black and white Cocker Spaniel asleep in her arms. She unceremoniously dumped her in my arms and said. “She is blind and deaf and 14 years old. You can take her can’t you?” Well, you can be sure we were not going to tell Shirley Jensen no, so Emily Grace came home with us.
Shirley and Emily Grace taught us more about rescue and what it takes to do it right than anyone else over the years. Shirley taught us that you never know what is coming around the corner and challenges are just a new chance to grow. Emily Grace taught us that dogs, even blind and deaf ones, can have an excellent quality of life and never take what you have for granted. Our motto, Saving lives, one dog at a time, was born that day. Emily Grace lived for almost two more years in a home with an older woman who thought the world of her. She was pampered, spoiled and loved rotten every day of the rest of her life. Emily Grace was the foundation for our Sanctuary program and in her spirit we have offered hundreds of dogs the last, best months or years of their lives.
We don’t count the last 20 years in the numbers of dogs we have rescued. Those are just statics. We remember each face, each story and how it touched us, one dog at a time.
