Lady came to CockerPals from New Jersey in June of 2009. Before we looked for a home we took her to Cornell to see if her sight could be helped. Unfortunately the sight in her right eye couldn't be saved but she had a cataract removed in her left eye and can see fine out of that eye. In Sept of 2009 Lady was ready to go to a forever home. Although we had some interest in her nothing seemed quite right for her. Then in Match of 2010 Lady hit the jackpot and she went to her new home the beginning of March. The right home is always worth waiting for and that sure was true for Lady. Lady only has to share her new Mom and Dad with a rescued cat and she is enjoying her new life.

After a vet visit for "the works" Madison was ready for her furever home. This long tailed beauty didn't have to wait long! Madison seemed to know she was home the minute we got to the house.

Emma had surgery and what was left of the one kidney was removed only with a large amount of urine. Emma is now living happily with one kidney and is as sweet as she can be.

Missy came to PALS from the south. She was only seven months old but had been looking for a home since she was four months old. We found her to be very shy and it was clear Missy had not been exposed to a lot of things. Fortunately for Missy, her new Mom is a very understanding person and has been helping her to get used to the big world. Her new Mom says this about Missy:

"Missy is just wonderful. She is so much fun and such a loving little pup. We just had our 2nd obedience training session today - I have a trainer who comes into the house. Due to her shyness, this is working well. We'll go to his group sessions at the doggy day care later. She's learning to come when called, sit, stay and walk on a leash. Most of the training has been mine - learning the terminology and signals. Missy is doing much better than me.

Missy goes for a ride in the car almost every day - sometimes I just go to the grocery store and other times we go to the local state park for a walk. She sleeps on the couch on her back with her feet up in the air. She plays with her toys and gets a burst of energy around 11:00 at nite. She still has trouble with strangers but is slowly getting more comfortable. "
