Welcome to Cocker Spaniel Rescue Of New England. CSRNE is one of the oldest and largest cocker rescue groups in the country. We are composed of many volunteers throughout New England dedicated to rescuing and placing homeless cocker spaniels.

Since our inception in 1987 hundreds of abandoned or unwanted cockers found homes with caring, loving families. By networking with animal shelters, other rescue groups, and veterinarians CSRNE has saved, improved, and extended the lives of one of America’s most popular breeds.

Your donations make it possible for us to give needy cockers the care they need before we can place them in their forever home. Your support gives these cockers a second chance for a long and happy life.

A very long trip to rescue a cocker… and an UN-cocker!

Silver the un-cocker

Usually when we are called to rehome a cocker, we have a few weeks to collect the info we need to place the dog in the right new home.  But sometimes it’s an emergency and we have less than 24 hours to save a dog’s life.

 

Abby (the cocker) and Silver (the UN-cocker) had one day before they would be shipped to the “auction”- a miserable, inhumane event where puppy mill dogs are sent when they are no longer producing large enough litters to justify the expense of keeping them.

 

The first call that Friday morning was to rescue just Abby, but a short time later we were told that no rescue was available to take Silver – a 70lb Silver Labrador – and could we help her too.

 

Luck was with us.  Abby’s prospective adopters had volunteered to drive the over 400 miles each way to Pennsylvania to get her, and when we called them back to explain Silver’s predicament, they said a big dog would definitely fit in their SUV, and off they went.

 

The return trip was eventful.  Abby happily cuddled in her new mom’s lap, but an anxious Silver wanted to sit up front too!  It was seven hours of convincing a very large, persistent lab that she couldn’t fit in the front seat – and it was pouring rain – and Silver was in heat!

 

This rescue has a very happy ending.  Both dogs have been thoroughly vetted and are healthy.  Abby has been spayed and is adjusting well to her new home.  Silver was positive for Lyme Disease and has been treated with an antibiotic.  She’ll be spayed as soon as our vet feels she’s ready after her heat cycle. After she recovers she will be available for adoption. 

 

Silver is a bug bundle of lab love!  She adores people and wants to be as close as possible to her caregivers at the kennel.  She is very attached to our volunteer who takes her for long walks, rides in the truck (front seat if possible!) and who is showing her the wonders of the world outside of a cage in a puppy mill.

 

Abby and Silver have reminded us that no matter how daunting it may seem at first, it’s always a joy to rescue and give these unwanted dogs the life and love they deserve.

 

We thank our friends who generously donate to CSRNE for making this work possible.
