Polly is an approximately six month old petite black and white female. She
is current on shots, on heartworm preventative, vet checked and spayed.
Rescue
got a call from another breed rescue informing us that there was a litter of puppies
in a shelter. Seems as though someone had turned them in, alleging that someone had
dumped them in her backyard. The consequence was that the pups had to be classified
as strays and held for a week in case the owner appeared and wanted them back. At
the end of this time, various rescue people worked together to get the dogs into
foster care with Cocker Rescue.
Polly can have a lot of coat. And if it goes for months without seeing a comb or
brush or a drop of shampoo - well, it's not a pretty sight (or smell). But as is
usually the case, all the pups behaved marvelously in the bathtub, getting fleas,
vegetation, urine, and garden variety dirt washed out of their hair. They were also
extremely cooperative for getting dematted and having what hair we could save put
into a cocker cut.
