Good Bye To Our Friend Maureen Murray
We are sad to say we had to say good bye to Maureen Murray, one of our best adopters and foster moms. She passed away last week and we are so sad to lose her. Maureen was a true Cocker mom, she had over 15 Cocker Spaniels over her lifetime. We know she adored her current “kids” Sweetie Pie” and “Goof” both SCCR alumni. They are coming back to us so we can find them places to live out their lives in comfort and love. We so appreciate that Maureen made sure they were taken care of before she had to leave us. Thank you Maureen for being a great Cocker mom right up until the end.
Rescuing “rescued” Cocker Spaniels
This is Tiny. She was pulled from the San Bernardino shelter last month by a “rescuer” who is very prominent on Facebook. Lots of promises were made but Tiny was left stuck in a temporary foster home. The temporary foster mom is stuck with broken promises and a sick senior cocker girl. Pledges were paid and everyone believes that Tiny is safe and sound. Nothing could be further from the truth. The foster mom contacted us asking for help. SCCR has agreed to step in and rescue Tiny from her “rescuer”.
This isn’t the first time SCCR had to clean up after this particular “rescuer”. She abandoned 12 cockers at our favorite kennel last year. We found each one of them a great home and turned over their adoption fees to the kennel to help cover the thousands of dollars she owed them and never paid.
Rescuing dogs doesn’t stop at pulling dogs from the shelters. Tiny has nine tumors that need surgery and her bills will run close to $2,000 if not more and she has nowhere to live
We are going to make sure Tiiny gets the best medical care and finds a loving Sanctuary home where we will pay for her medical bills for the rest of her life. That is what real rescue is and we are so grateful for your support so we can be there for dogs like Tiny.
An Unlikely Pair
Bella Maria is an older woman who has fallen for a younger man. She and Roscoe lost their human family when they were taken to the shelter but they vowed not to be separated and managed to convince the shelter staff to beg us to take them both. They are adorable together. They sleep together, they check in with one another all the time and they share food bowls.
Bella Maria is about 8-10 yrs old and a purebred Cocker girl while Roscoe is only 3 yrs old and a Maltese /Shih tzu who looks just like a Muppet and snorts when he is excited. She is a sweet gentle soul and he is silly and full of himself. Roscoe has cataracts but she takes care of him and he watches out for her. When they came in we could tell no one took very good care of them for a long time. Bella’s nails were grown into the pads of her feet, several of her teeth were abscessed and their fur was matted and filthy. But as long as they were together they were happy.
We got them both cleaned up and gave Bella Marie a dental and pedicure. Now Bella Marie and Roscoe desperately need a foster home while they are waiting for their forever family to find them. Can you help?
