Say hello to "Red" (aka Rusty).. a little dog who is staying with us for a short time, while looking for his new home. He is actually a rescue dog that is under the care of Cocker Rescue of New England. It's been a while since I have done foster work, so I was more than happy to be able to help out with this little guy. I have been a volunteer for CSRNE for many years... since around 1989.. and I'm not always available to help, but I do when I can.
The nice thing about being here on the farm, is we seem to have plenty of room for all. I only wish my time frame were the same, caused I would take more. But one at time is more than enough!!!
We have had "Red" with us for a few weeks, but he's such a busy body, that it was hard to get some good pictures to share. He's young, and full of energy -- we are working on his house and obedience manners, and he's doing much better. At first he seemed quite shy of men, and bit
"forward" with the cats. He would be a runner if let loose, and I am pretty certain he's house trained, (but I keep him tethered when I am too busy to watch).
Rick has volunteered to work with Red in obedience classes, and I can see him improving every week. His confidence with men has grown, and his dog social skills are really coming along. He is crate trained, and loves to cuddle...
so.. any readers out there knowing someone looking for a nice little dog... you know who to send them to......

Oh my, what a cutie! If only we were in the market...
I don't think I have ever seen a Cocker in any of our shelters. Not even a Cocker mix. I guess because Nevada is a gambling state, the majority of the dogs are Pit Bulls, probably bred for fighting. The next most common dog found in shelters around here is the Chihuahua. Yo soy Taco Bell. Red is adorable.
