Meet andy
Welcome to Camp Cocker, Andy!
Andy is being fostered in the Los Angeles, CA area.
Andy is, by all accounts, a complete sweetheart! (Be sure to read his previous foster family's comments just below.)
He was rescued from a puppy mill by our partners, Cocker Friends Korea, with a yeast/fungal infection all over his body & feet, dry eye syndrome, chronic ear infections, and anemia. Hes now being treated for all of these conditions.
Nothing will make this little guy happier than to settle into his new furever home. We hope that can happen for him soon!
**Hot Takes from Andys Fosters in South Korea**
1. How is Andy with people?
He absolutely loves people and is extremely affectionate. He especially loves giving kisses.
2. How is he with other dogs?
He is very curious about other dogs. Because of his skin condition, the veterinarian advised limited interaction for now, so he has only been allowed to sniff other dogs. He has never barked, growled, or shown aggression toward them.
3. How does he behave when left alone?
He whines a little at first but settles down quickly and sleeps calmly. So far, he does not appear to have separation anxiety.
4. How is he on walks?
He walks well on leash. During walks he tends to walk a bit, stop, then continue again. About 4050 minutes seems to be his ideal walk time. If walks go over an hour, he starts refusing to continue walking.
5. Biggest charm?
He is incredibly sweet, calm, affectionate, and trusting. He has almost no stranger danger and quickly warms up to people. Among Cockers, his foster feels Andy may be one of the gentlest they have ever met.
WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT PUPPY MILL DOGS:
Puppy mill dogs need very special adopters patient people who will be understanding that potty training may be a very long learning curve.
Force-free training is the only way to go; these dogs are already so fearful, and they need kindness, not a dominant alpha approach.
These dogs will be extreme flight risks, so a home with no children is safer in terms of entrances and exits being 100% controlled by adults only.
Most of these more timid dogs will need a home with another confident dog to help show them the way. Typically, puppy mill dogs are dog-friendly!
