Dogs in: Alwin, Millie, and Daisy Mae came up from our facility in Southern CA, Dakota and Jimmy came from the Castaic shelter, Teddy, Lilly were re-homed from a kennel in Walnut Creek and Bailey was a rehome from the Bay Area. Adoptions: Daisy Mae, Rory, Allie and Dakota!

This month we have been working in the menus and  sending out the invitations for the Open House and BBQ at the Sanctuary on Oct 8th.  We hope you can all make it. It should be tons of fun and lots of good food. You can feed treats to the horses burros and goats. Pet and love on the dogs and have a good time with other Cocker Spaniel people. Please RSVP by Oct 1st if you can come.  Frank our new part time kennel attendant started this month and we are delighted with him. He will give Ericka some well deserved days off. We also need more volunteers to help groom the dogs. Ericka is doing a great job but it is too much for one person. We will train you how to bath and clip a Cocker!

This week we are getting ready for the super hot weather coming up. Doggie misters, swimming pools, AC in all the Bungalows. They will be as comfy as we can get them.

Welcome To The Sanctuary

We first saw Simba in the shelter listings a couple of weeks ago and watched him while waiting for his wait hold to be over. His owner finally came and claimed him, then he was picked up by Animal Control two days later and taken back to the shelter. We saw him again and again; we watched and were waiting for him to become available so we could get him. Fortunately, his owner relinquished him this time and we swooped in and grabbed him.

Upon seeing him in person we were horrified at his condition. Matted fur everywhere and some of the worst ear infections we have ever seen. Black matted fur and his ears are bleeding from him scratching them so much. The smell is overwhelming, not to mention all the foxtails that were pulled out during his groom. The matting was extensive and bad. He must have been living outside because the smell was so significant you could never have had him in the house. We pulled out a couple dozen foxtails that were embedded into his skin.He is all groomed now and we know he is feeling much, much better.

The past two weeks, we’ve have had more cockers coming in than in the past two months. They are all great dogs and many are seniors. Wyatt lost his dad and needed somewhere to go ASAP. We couldn’t turn down that sweet face. He is 10 years old and except for a touch of arthritis, heathy as a horse.

We still have some other wonderful seniors waiting for homes too. All 10 years old. Sunshine, our pretty one eyed girl is pretty zippy!! Then there is love muffin Molly, who’s more into power naps between meals. Everyone’s favorite, Duke is our special greeter for all the new dogs. He welcomes them and tries to make them feel at home. Not to be forgotten is Tucker. He’s longing for a real home with lots of love and attention. We also pulled Puddles, Sophie, Hannah and Riley from shelters and took in four cockers needing rehoming. Lordy, that is a lot of dogs! We can’t thank you enough for your support that allows us to take in all these seniors and all our rescues in need!! Click here to PayPal us!!
