We received an urgent plea for this temporarily sad, but sweet female, black and white Cocker at the 
high kill SEAACA shelter in Downey, CA.
She was dumped there, by her owners at age 12, because they said she is “going blind.” She was a nasty mess, with a coat drier than straw and skin underneath, that felt like sandpaper. They must have been feeding her a very low grade food and then thrown the bag outside, for her to eat. She is overweight from the bad food. She was likely used as a breeder dog, her entire life. Her nipples are huge and mal-formed. This sweet baby has been neglected for a long, long time.
Given her appearance, she was being passed on by potential adopters, and most likely soon to be euthanized.
Second Chance Cocker Rescue jumped in, and she took her “freedom ride” a few days ago!
Look at this lovely girl now! We’ve named her Charlotte. After a little cleanup, she has nothing but smiles now.
She is very sweet, quiet, mellow and barely moves around. She is a large girl, and needless to say, she is now on a diet! She has a little snotty nose right now, so her spaying is still a couple of weeks off. She has stinky breath and will desperately need dental work after she is spayed.
We shaved her down and as you can see, she looks gorgeous! Sometimes, it doesn’t take much, to bring a beauty from rags to riches. Her bottom eyelids just droop a bit, so she has a little bit of the Elvis hound dog look to her, but she does not have cherry eyes.
Charlotte, and all of our fur babies are so grateful for a second chance. Please help us to keep rescuing, rehoming and rehabilitating.
We were contacted by a young woman who was desperately searching for a safe place for her beloved pet. She knew that sweet June would not last long in a shelter, because June has never known anything but the loving care of her family. They had one week to find a safe place, and they reached out to Second Chance Cocker Rescue for help.
June needs some help with her medical costs. Could you please find it in your heart to 
Second Chance Cocker Rescue makes a promise to all the dogs we rescue. They will ALWAYS be taken care of.

Meet Cricket. This adorable and gorgeous girl was found wandering the streets and was picked up, by good samaritans. They saw mammary glands hanging down and thought she might be pregnant. Thoughtfully, they took her to a vet immediately, and learned that she is NOT pregnant. Cricket does have a host of health issues, including a mammary infection. We are going to have her spayed next week, and take care of all of her medical needs. She was not microchipped and signs were placed around the area and social media was used to see if anyone claimed her. So far, no one has come forward.
She is very sweet and mellow and gets along well with everyone.
Meet Helen, our newest sweetheart. Helen 
Her shelter notes said she has luxating patellas on both back legs, but she walks fine, gingerly, but she can walk.
Remember my story “Not just a number to us” from November 2015? It’s me, Athena, back with an update on how I’m doing.
We love Cocker Spaniels, don’t get us wrong, but unscrupulous breeders make our blood boil! Meet Carly. The family that used her to breed, decided they had enough of her, and dumped her at the shelter. One of our volunteers found her in pretty bad shape; an irritated neck from a collar that was too small, matted fur, smelly ears (probably an ear infection), small tumors and a huge growth, low on her belly. Many times, when a female dog isn’t spay early, they develop tumors. Below is a photo of the giant growth. On top of everything else, she had one cherry eye that was never fixed.
The huge growth turned out to be an inguinal hernia. When she was opened up, her small intestine and spleen were teetering on falling into the opening. Carly was spayed and had 4 small mammary tumors removed to be biopsied. Finally, she had the growth under her left eye removed and the cherry eye tacked down. Dr. Card did a beyond amazing job and we cannot thank her enough for her time, care, patience and love. Carly is resting comfortably and seems to be in good spirits.

Willie found himself at the West Valley Shelter two weeks ago. His owner had died without making any arrangements for him. Not well himself, Willie was now sleeping on cement floors and had lost all hope. Lucky for Willie, Springer Spaniel Rescue found him. They pulled him, but when they found out he was a Cocker Spaniel, they called us. We took one look at that face and couldn’t say no!
