In the sticky post at the top, it gives a link to The Cocker Spaniel Club Rehoming & Rescue Representatives. It also gives a link to a site called The Dog Rescue Pages. On the latter, if you click on the "Breed Rescue" link under "Finding a Rescue Centre", it takes you to a breed list; once you click on Spaniel (Cocker), it gives two numbers for Cocker Spaniel Club Rescue, neither of which correspond to any numbers on the CSC site. Is this a completely separate and different Cocker Rescue, or is it that the details are out of date?
I was going to pm the person who originally posted the post, but it looks like she hasn't logged in for a fair while.

The link via dogpages may well be outdated - I would go off the CSC site ;)
-
OK thanks! Just to say, though, that the CSC site is itself outdated - they have no rep for Sussex at the moment, even though one is listed. For me, that means my nearest rep is on the Isle of Wight (though she's not answering her phone atm! must be away), and the next nearest one is a LONG LONG way away (Bedfordshire).
-
What about calling the main rescue co-ordinator instead?
-
I spoke to her today, and she said that if I couldn't get through to the Isle of Wight one, or if she wasn't willing to take my application, then I could send it to her. So I will wait a couple of days, see if the IOW one materialises, and, if not, send the application to Leicestershire.
Thanks.

hmmmm....well it's start I guess :dunno: Sometimes the system is made very difficult for people to rescue :-\
I would get yourself homechecked for Lizzies Barn and for Four Paws too in case they get some lovely cockers in ;)
-
what area are you in mooching. we occasionlly get cockers in, mostly ex breeders i have 1 fostering with me at the moment, we do get pet ones though. i could also check the rescue directory if you like to see if i have a different contact for your area.

hi Tracey
I'm in the south-western most part of Hampshire. If you would be so kind as to check the rescue directory, that would be great (feel free to pm me).

Thanks, I will do that. I didn't know you could get homechecked before actually applying for a particular dog.

it's worth asking I think :D
-
I've just filled out the application form for Four Paws and have put a note at the bottom explaining that I'm applying in hope! I will email Lizzie's Barn (it doesn't look like they have a form) and see what they say as well.
-
we most likely wouldn't homecheck people in advance unless we had a suitable dog in
-
Oh ok, Penny, thanks!
The application that I've already submitted to Four Paws, will it be rejected (because of not applying for a specific dog, ie would I need to apply again if one came up), or will it be kept on file?

This is interesting, when my family got Tilly (we were living in West Sussex) but we were told about her by the rep for Dorset. We drove to Poole to get Tilly.

How long ago was that, tillydog?

If my memory serves me right .. about late September/early October 1992. We had a homecheck done, passed but then had to move out of that house. We got Tilly just after we moved house, she was about 18 mnths old when we got her.
-
I have moved this as discussion threads in the rescue section distract from the main aim of that section and push rehoming threads down when they should be at the forefront of the forum ;)
-
Mooching - am happy to chase up this end (I am on the Isle of Wight) - am new to all this, let me know what you want and I'll dig a bit (if you haven't already spoken with them. :D

There is no longer a Rescue Rep for Dorset as the lady who did this has now retired after many years service.

a friend of mine a few years ago applied for a cocker from cocker rescue, she lives in kent there was none available round here so she had to go up to beds for her girl. that was before i got involved with rescue, last year when they were looking for another dog to go with the one from beds i found them barney a lovely black chap. he was only just a year so do hang in there and be patient some times it can take a while when you want a specific breed , or sex or age. but i always say to people you get the dog you are meant to have and one day soon your pooch will come along and you will be in a position to get that dog.

Thanks Jane - I did wonder if that was the case (and now won't be bothering Cynthia with a phone call!)

My friend is about to take in a liver roan show boy who she is hoping cocker rescue will take on. If she doesn't take him he is to be offered free to a good home in the local shop. She is picking him up tomorrow and asked me if I could find out the number and name of the rep. She may end up keeping him but she has working cockers and they are girls. He is entire and she really prefers workers. At least I can now tell her that their is a rep fairly close by in Beds.

Oh no!! That mustn't happen.
There are a number of rescues that would be likely to take him if she can't.

she picked him up this afternoon. She says he is very whiney but very sweet. She isn't sure if he has SA or not. One of her girls is not due for a season within the next 3 or 4 months and her youngest is spayed so she will keep him with her for now and he is already booked into the vet for castration next tuesday. Even if she gives him to a recue she said they have enough on their plates without the expence of castrating him. I am going to hers in the morning and may get a photograph of him.
