WELCOME TO CAMP COCKER RESCUE, WINTER!

• Winter was rescued from the SEAACA shelter on January 9, 2024. She is estimated* to be less than a year old, and is a very sweet & affectionate, 18 pound, female Blue Merle Cocker Spaniel mix.

• Winter is blind, in both eyes, as well as deaf, which is likely the result of the congenital defect of a double-merle gene - one inherited from the mother and one from the father - from the mating of two Blue Merles.

• Our next stop for Winter was to see the ophthalmologist! The opthalmologist confirmed that Winter does not have vision in either eye, but she did react to light in her exam, which is great news because it helps Winter to recognize things like the time of day. That, plus her keen senses of smell and touch help her to get around quite nicely!

• Winter has plenty of puppy energy! She loves to romp in the backyard, where she doesn’t seem to have a care in the world! She loves sniffing out other dogs and engaging them to play, she loves approaching people for physical contact. If ever there was a love bug, it’s Winter! She’s very sweet & gentle.

• Winter is potty trained, and can use a doggy door!

• Winter would LOVE a home with a young playful dog!
