Cockers For Sale At Target?
Lulu was rescued by a compassionate woman named Cindi from a person trying to sell her in a Target parking lot in Sacramento. Poor Lulu, but she is safe now and better than that she has been adopted by the Schoel Family and will be safe and loved forever.
Elizabeth’s Birthday Celebration!
November 10, this year, is my 52nd birthday and I would like to ask all of you to share it with me. I have donated $500 to the SCCR dogs as a birthday present to myself because who needs more stuff? If you would like to help me celebrate my birthday, please send a check in any amount to SCCR, 1168 Palomino Rd, Santa Barbara, CA 93105 (be sure to put “For Elizabeth’s Birthday” on it) or click the link below. My goal is to have a big fat check ready for our next big surgery. Now that is the perfect birthday present for me!
All donations will go to our vet bills for the cockers. Cockers like Diezel who lost an eye at 12 weeks when he got in the middle of some rough play with older dogs. He is all better now and still as handsome as always.

We had a howling good time at the Northern California’s First Annual Halloween Photo Shoot at Unleashed by Petco in Sacramento. We had cockers and other breeds dressed in costume as bumblebees, punk rockers, hot dogs, dancers in tutus, beetles, pumpkins, Harley-Davidson riders, witches and lots of other adorable costumes. A good time was had by dogs and humans. All dogs got a bag of homemade dog bones made by our volunteer Mary Young. Humans got to taste her yummy cowboy cookies. Mark Adkison volunteered his time to do the photography and Clark Marshall provided a wonderful Halloween/Fall set for the photos as well as assisting Mark with the dogs. Thank you to Lana, Michaeline, Michael and Mary, Robyn, Jim, and Bill, the volunteers who helped at todays event. We all had a wonderful time and are looking forward to an even more successful time next year! – Joann Reagan
Ren and Stimpy
Ren and Stimpy are two absolutely adorable one year old Cavalier mix brothers. They were on the kill list at the Camarillo shelter because they both had cherry eye and needed surgery. Not too many people can afford surgery for a new dog these days so, there they were, only one chance left, us. We took one look at those sweet faces and you know what we said, yes, of course we would take them!
After $600 worth of surgery each, they are now ready to go home. Thanks to your support they had their cherry eye surgery, were neutered and are now up to date on all their vaccines.

Conehead Baby, Denziel
Denziel is only 12 weeks old and could not be a more handsome baby. He is so sweet and this poor baby was in the wrong place in wrong time and lost an eye last week. We will find him a good home where he will be safe and loved. In the mean time we need a foster for this while he recovers from his surgery and is a conehead for a couple of weeks.
No Tears Should Be Shed
“Dear All,The Lancaster 4
We heard that there were four Cockers all between the ages of 1 to 3 years old that were due to be killed in less that 12 hours at the Lancaster Shelter. Ann Summers from Cocker Connection asked if we would help her rescue all of them. Wow, four at once? Of course, we said yes. Ann got up at the crack of dawn so she could be at the shelter when it opened. She was calling on the way there trying to find someone to make sure they would all still be alive when she got there. She got through, made it there and after hours of paperwork and standing in line she loaded up four very traumatized dogs. One was in excruciating pain from an infection in the uterus. Another had been attacked by other dogs and was wounded. Her story is below.
We found fosters for two of them but Willow still needs a place to stay. She is so very sweet and docile–very traumatized at the shelter after being attacked by one or more of the other 4 dogs in her kennel. She had several fresh bite wounds and some that were apparently older, and she had a large wound on her right thigh, She was probably also victimized by dogs at her former home since there was evidence of older wounds. She has a pretty coat with soft, silky, golden buff hair and a long tail. Her eyes are bright and pretty.
Willow and Gidget are very petite, probably about 18-20 pounds. They love to cuddle and be held. Willow loves snuggling in blankets. She is a very gentle little girl, but she is scared of other doggies. Willow did fine with Sandy, but the others were too much for her, and she went to hide under a chair in the vet’s office so they couldn’t get to her. The willow bends and is a gentle tree, but it is the one that withstands the strong storms. She is a survivor. Can you help us and foster Willow?
Donations for Willow and The Lancaster 4
We will update their pictures as soon as we have new ones. They were so very stressed out and bedraggled and it was so hectic that we didn’t even try to get new ones.
King Charles Mix Puppies? We Will Take Them!
We were very surprised to find these two adorable King Charles/Cocker mix puppies on the kill list at one of our shelters. We jumped right on it and sent a volunteer down as quick as we could to rescue them. It turns out that they both have cherry eye which requires surgery and because of the cost no one was willing to adopt them. Well, you know what we said, “We will take them!” Oops, now we need a foster. We usually wait until we have an open foster lined up but these two were running out of time so we jumped in with both feet. Wouldn’t you?
Now they will be scheduled for a vet check and surgery then we can send them home. Any takers? We have named them Ren and Stimpy. We will need to raise $500 each for their surgeries. If you would like to help these two characters they would be very grateful!
Rambo, Home At Last
Rambo was the cutest, sweetest, best behaved cockapoo ever! He came to us from the Lompoc shelter a couple of weeks ago and we loved his cute face after he was shaved down. He was so darn sweet, we could not figure out why he was at the shelter in the first place. Now he is happy living with a Santa Barbara family and getting all the attention he deserves.
