WELCOME TO CAMP COCKER RESCUE, HERA

HERA is a female Spaniel mix Freedom Flyer from Mongolia. She arrived in Los Angeles on August 28, 2024, and is currently (January 2025) estimated to be a little over 1 year old.. She was dumped out of a car at just a few months of age and then rescued by a good samaritan who brought her to the HZ Shelter. From there she was rescued by our rescue partners in Mongolia to join Camp Cocker and find a new home in America.

Hera has some generalized anxiety and will need some time to adjust to living in a home since living in a boarding facility until joining Camp Cocker. She'll do best in a home with no young children - a quiet home with a yard.

She’ll also need to work with a force-free trainer to help her adjust to her new life. We also recommend that she live in a home that does not have adjoining walls with neighbors.

JANUARY 2025 UPDATE: Hera was just about to begin an intensive training program with a force-free trainer to help with her much-needed socialization with real-world experience - training intended to address some of her anxiety-driven issues and lack of puppy socialization - when she suddenly began limping.

We got her to a specialist asap and found that she needed a TPLO which is a surgical treatment used to stabilize the knee joint when a critical ligament has ruptured.

She’s now post-op and is receiving physical therapy that includes massage and acupuncture as well as muscle-strengthening exercises which are a prelude to the weight-bearing therapy that follows.

Stay tuned for progress reports, more photos & videos, and other details as we get them - here and on our Facebook & Instagram pages.
