Jenna

Jenna

This mother cocker and her pups got off to a very rough start in life. Jenna (the mother) and an adult male cocker were left outside day and night in a ramshackle pen with no shade or water. When the neighbors complained about the barking, the owner put the 2 dogs in his basement and they were never again let outside or allowed in the house.  Jenna got pregnant and gave birth to her pups in the filthy, dark basement where they remained for 6 months until one of the neighbors became aware of the situation and persuaded the owner to give him all the dogs and then called the Animal Control Officer who immediately called us.

Jenna and the 3 male pups arrived at our foster home frightened and anxious but they soon discovered the absolute joy of running free in the big fenced yard and were reassured by quiet, calm voices and lots of cuddling.

It's taken some time but they have settled down and are now able to focus on some basic obedience training.  All of them were recently spayed and neutered and got all their vaccines.

These beautiful, healthy cockers need owners willing to housebreak them, continue their obedience training and provide large fenced yards so they can enjoy their favorite pastime - running and playing in a safe, secure area.

Jenna is a happy two-year-old girl who is affectionate and loves to cuddle and just be with her foster mom.  She is starved for attention and would do better as an only dog who doesn't need to compete for her family's affection. She is not totally housebroken.
