Sybil

Sybil is an approximately a six month old spayed black female. She is current on shots, on heartworm preventative, and vet checked.

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.

Sybil could 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.

Sybil is an outgoing, high energy little girl. She has lots of self-confidence, and a high prey drive. She's very curious and has to check out everything. She's also very social and affectionate - loves people and dogs.

Life revolves around tennis balls

Because we don't know anything about their background, we will not place these pups in families with toddlers.

Sybil is not housebroken, but she is learning to potty outside. She would be best placed with someone who is home at least in the beginning so that her training can be completed.

This litter seems to play nicely with each other and with other dogs, and they don't seem to have any problem with cats.
