<h3>Who We Are</h3>
<p> </p>
Charlotte Cocker Rescue was started in 2001 by Larry and Donna Carpenter after
rescuing our cocker Charlie from WV and Sam from Laurel, MD. We were stunned to
discover how many homeless cocker spaniels were in the shelters. Thus our rescue
began the plight to save homeless shelter cockers in need of rescue. We are in
desperate need for volunteers, foster homes, and monetary donations to help us
with the enormous vet bills and ongoing expenses of rescue. Our rescue vet is
Cabarrus Animal Hospital to whom we have been a loyal client since 1991. They
have the best vets on duty there. They have done wonderful vet care for our own
animals and rescue kids for many years. All funds raised via our efforts is 100%
used strictly for the animals. Our rescue like most private rescue groups is
self funded by my husband and me with very little public support. If you would
like to help please read the information below or contact us at
LarryDonnaCarp@aol.com for further details.

<a name="adopt"><h3>Adopting a Cocker Spaniel</h3></a>
<p> </p>
Our adoption process begins with an adoption application. Our board members will
review all applications and contact you via email ASAP. We strive to match the
best possible homes with the cockers we have in rescue for which meets your
family's needs. We do not do trial adoptions for many reasons because it simply
is not fair to the new families and to the rescue kids. Our beliefs are that the
rescue animals deserve that second chance and it is our responsiblity to know the
dogs we are placing. By fostering them first we are able to place them in a
loving home with many details to their habits, likes and dislikes, and whether
they do well with other pets and/or children. We feel we do a wonderful job in
matching our rescue kids to the families adopting them. We hope most people will
appreciate all of our efforts. Many families have been very happy with the
adoption process. Once an application has been approved and the applicant's
references checked, we will make arrangements for you to come meet your potential
new family member. We encourage all members of your family to be present during
adoption meeting.
<p> Our administrative office is located in Kannapolis, NC.
We do not have a public kennel facility available but will be happy to arrange
for you to meet our rescue cockers once we have an approved application. We work
with our foster homes so any appointments will be made on Saturdays due to our
work schedules. We must have an approved application on file before showing any
rescued animal - no exceptions. All adoptions are handled on Saturdays, usually
early mornings. We hope you understand that our foster families may have other
commitments as well so we try to handle all rescue business early mornings on
Saturdays. Any other times will be arranged per the adoption coordinator. All
adoption fees must be paid either by cash, cashier's check, or money order.</p>
