Bitter cold this weekend.

Many Shelters do not have the time nor funds to treat many illnesses. This is why RESCUES are needed.

When you foster a dog, you warm your heart when the dog begins to show improvement, enabling the dog to find a new forever home. If you can’t foster, donate to your favorite rescue today!

A street dog was curled up in a ball on the side of the road. He was suffering from severe mange and had completely given up hope. Just watch his transformat...

Any advice to prevent this BEHAVIOR? The human solutions have been inconsistently keeping the door closed and putting the TP on the lid of the toilet.

You can also comment with pics of the dog behaviors you wish you could change.

SCAM ALERT
RMCR received an email informing us of a donation check sent USPS Priority Mail with tracking. Inside was a check, but we will not deposit the check. WHY?

Because of tracking, this “person” knows the check was delivered and is pressuring us to deposit and let him “know immediately after the deposit.” According to our internet searches, he will then notify us that his financial person "wrote the check for too much and he would like us to return/refund some of the money.” Him applying pressure is intended for us to give the refund prior to the bank notifying us that it bounced. Even if the rescue doesn’t give the refund, the rescue loses money due to the bounced check fees.

Please share with other rescues!

Precious had a eye recheck on Friday. This first picture shows the fourth year student and a tech doing the initial exam. Ocular pressure was measured. Her eye was stained to check for any sort of irregularity on the corneas. The gentleman in the second picture is the most senior resident in CSU's Ophthalmology department.

We'll be posting a complete update in her blog as soon as her foster dad has a chance to come up for some air.

RMCR NEEDS YOUR HELP. Please read.

We are preparing to say "fairwell" to one of our long time, treasured fosters and regional director for New Mexico.
Barb Olivarez is preparing to head back to her home stomping grounds, to spend time with family and she needs to take steps to begin that transition.
"I have sold my mobile in Tijeras and I am considering what to do with my life. I do know that Ineed to be a little selfish and put myself first. I need to end my journey with rescue and fostering. I am in Albuquerque for a month at a bed and breakfast for now.
I have had Charlie for a year now and he has come a long way from when we got him. It is time for him to have a new foster or better a permanent home.
Jake needs a foster home or adopter as well, asap.

I dont know where my travels will take me but it is time to spend
sometime with my Gracie. She has never had me all to herself and I have not visited my family in close to two years and it is time.

I would not have changed my experience with the rescue and most of thee time it was so rewarding to know that we haelped pups find their forever home. All the folks in the rescue have taught me so much and been the best friends Ihave truly held close to my heart. You all have been there through the good and bad times: with love and encouragement.

Blessings to all and please help me accomplish this real soon as possible; I would like to enjoy my last days left in ABQ."
Barb.

A Spaniel Glossary

*HOOMAN
Lifetime chef, slave and companion
*ZOOMIES
A condition where a spangle temporarily forgets their proud and noble lineage and gallops around in circles like their b***y is on fire, yipping like a chihuahua. Most impressive when done over furniture, parkour style!
*BARKAGE
A spangles integrated alarm system, to warn of grave and mortal peril. Such as a plastic bag floating by.
*FOXYPOO
Chanel No 5 for our canine friends. Unfortunately always results In the dreaded *BAFF.
*DBR
DreadedBootyRummage.
A bottom squeezing indignity suffered if a spangle indulges in a little too much b***y scooting.
*HOUSE OF GROOMY DOOM
Where spangles are often tricked into going, and where they come out nakey and smelling of fairy farts
*BUZZYBALDER
Clippers. Evil. Run!
*EGGZORSTIMICATED
A condition resulting from over exertion such as zoomies, or a traumatic situation, eg a DBR. Can be revived by cheez (lots of cheez).
*ALLTHESOSSIDGES
A spangles nirvana. Also a just reward for visits to the house of groomy doom, after a DBR or not eating the catto.
*CHIMKIN
Food of the Gods. Noty hoomans have exploited this by using it to hide meds for pawly pups.
*STARVIMICATING
A very dangerous situation that needs instant remediation with ALLTHESOSSIDGES (or cheez!)
*BIGBEDDEE
A spangles natural habitat. Hoomans may share if they behave and don’t take up too much space
*SQUIGGLE
A tree dwelling rat, with a huge fluffy tail. Natural teaser of the spangle.
*MLWIJTT
MummyLadyWhoIsJustTheTypist.
Our personal slave... er, assistant, who we all luff.
*MMW
Magic Mommy Water. Wine. Often needed.
*BABYCHEESES
BabyCheeses comes at Christmas time. Many spangles are confused as they are still waiting for the cheese
*BEMORESPANGLE
Take wisdom from our furry friends. Live in the moment, not the past, indulge in silliness, love with all your heart and be kind to all.🐾

December 1st Presious and her Foster Dad drove over to a local park for a morning walk. When they returned to the car and opened the door, her foster dad had a thought. Although this is difficult to watch, it is quite inspiring. Precious is not letting her disability hold her back. Tomorrow is the last day of Colorado Gives and the end of our 12 Days of Cocker Love. Please DONATE TODAY>>https://tinyurl.com/5n8rymur so that Precious can get the hip replacement surgery. #SecondChances #HappyTails #DogRescueLove #FosterLove #RMCR #12DaysOfCockerLove

This video of Precious shows how she struggles to get up a couple of stairs. It's diffcult to watch, but at the same time, her determination just rips at your heart. RMCR lives on the donations that you give to us. Without those finds, we cannot provide the care that someone like Precious needs to experience LA DOLCE VITA.❤ Please DONATE TODAY>>https://tinyurl.com/5n8rymur #SecondChances #HappyTails #DogRescueLove #FosterLove #RMCR #12DaysOfCockerLove

This video was taken shortly after Precious' arrival. She is quite energetic and happy; resilient but not pain free. The video shows her hiney tucked in and the waddle in her walk - a sign of discomfort from the osteoarthritis and hip dysplasia. Due to her condition, she cannot run like a dog with normal hips, but she sure can walk fast. Her hooman foster says it's apparent she wants run, but she needs a total needed Total Hip Replacement surgery (THR). The next step will be an appt with the surgeon to get an accurate estimate - anticipated costs exceed $20k for both hips. Before she turns 6 yrs old, we hope to give her the freedom to run and jump like other dogs. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year with donations helping many others like Precious. The top 2 nonprofits who raise the most money in our category will receive and extra $5000, so go here to donate. https://tinyurl.com/5n8rymur.

On November 20th, Precious was shuttled from Santa Fe, NM to Broomfield, CO by three RMCR volunteers, each driving a leg of the trip in their personal vehicles. Our Intake Director, Shelley, took the first leg, President, Audra J Bowen the next and her foster, Brian the last. RMCR created a blog which will tell the story of her journey, including pictures and videos and the details of her pain and surgery to improve her life. https://rockymountaincockerrescue.org/precious/

CUTENESS OVERLOAD! Little Dickens, formerly RMCR’s Dingo, just celebrated his 13th birthday 🥳 and what a party it was! 🥰 Check out the photos and video. Our hearts are melting. 💕 Thank you Tracy K and Heidi K for the pawmazing life you have given sweet Little Dickens. This little guy came to us from Missouri after his owner had passed away. He was in pretty poor health when he arrived and very underweight. RMCR fab fosters Michelle and her husband took him in and helped him put weight on and settle in. Due to his advanced age and health issues they were planning to adopt him but then Little Dickens’ guardian angels — Tracy and Heidi — appeared online and came to meet him. It was love at first sight and the rest is rescue history. 🙌🏻 #whywerescue #cockerlove #raiseapaw #happybarkday #cockerspaniel #rescued #adoptedandAdored

CALLIE'S PUPPIES: Callie's $13k surgery was successful, but due to the medications, she was unable to feed her 4 purdy babies. Look at what 21+ days of bottle feeding from our great volunteers have produced.

After experiencing paralysis features in her hind legs, just 8 days after giving birth, the surgery is proving successful. Look at her go!

CALLIE UPDATE: She has her own little ‘bed’room where she can be closely monitored and safe from obstructions. Six days ago, she couldn’t stand on her hind legs. She is now regaining her strength and recovering well post-op!
