Blind Cocker Spaniel Rescued in Florida
A blind cocker spaniel was found wandering in the middle of the road by a couple driving through. She was lost and confused. The couple picked her up and took her to Ehrlich Animal Hospital. Her hair was so badly matted hospital staff couldn’t tell what sex she was. After shaving her down the staff realized she was blind from untreated glaucoma. The only treatment option is removal of both eyes otherwise she would be in pain the rest of her life. The Suncoast Animal League is hoping to receive $1,100 to pay for her surgery. Visit suncoastanimalleague.org if you would like to contribute.

Pet Adoption Fund-All I Want For Christmas!
Hi everyone!
Bradley is a beautiful Cocker Spaniel who has never had a home outside of the shelter at Pet Adoption Fund in Canoga Park, California. We love him dearly and he is a volunteer favorite, but he has been here many, many years and there is nothing we want more for him than a good home. I am one of the volunteers who walks him and he gets so excited when he sees me. His darling face lights up and his tail wags so much his entire body moves like he’s doing a “happy to see you” dance. Imagine coming home to him every night?
He is a happy go lucky dog who just needs a chance! He seems very partial to the ladies and while we recommend taking it slow in the beginning with him, one he knows you, he loves to give kisses, shakes your hand, sits and will faithfully be by your side! He loves to go for walks and being active. He’s a great companion and would give so much love to the person who will give him a chance. We would love for him to finally know what it feels like to have a loving home with a comfortable bed and a loving human all for himself!
You can see his handsome face on our holiday video “All I Want For Christmas.”
He is located at Pet Adoption Fund in Canoga Park, California. He can be seen on our website at petadoptionfund.org or by calling 818-340-1186.

Michigan cocker spaniel breeder loses lawsuit
On November 21st, a Washtenaw county jury found in favor of the Humane Society of Huron Valley in the lawsuit filed by Ralph and Melinda Hart. The lawsuit filed on June 2011 claims the humane society did not have authority to seize the Hart’s dogs. The lawsuit sought $1 million dollars in damages and the return of 13 dogs.
The Humane Society of Huron Valley speaks of the case on their Web site:
In essence, a couple forced 17 dogs, used solely for breeding and showing, to live their entire lives in cruel confinement–within a crowded garage in dirty wire bottom cages. The Cocker Spaniels had no form of comfort, minimal socialization, and a lifetime of veterinary care that never went beyond the preparation required for competition in the show ring.
