Johnny Cocker Spaniel Cape Coral, FL

Hellooooooo my name is Johnny!!! I am a 4 year old 30 lb cocker boy full of life, personality and energy BUT my story is one of loneliness, neglect and outright abuse! The nice gals at FCCR took me in after my "owner" decided they really didn't have time for me - I came severely matted with a collar embedded in my neck, heartworm positive, and scared to death of people. My old life consisted of living in a crate or running loose in a yard full of fleas and a brother who bullied me constantly - BUT THAT IS MY PAST and FCCR says my best days are now ahead of me. That nasty collar was surgically removed, my neck infection was treated and has resolved, I've been professionally groomed, and I have completed my heartworm treatment. My foster Mommy and Daddy are taking super good care of me- they say I am a survivor turned heartthrob LOL- they lavish me with love and attention, are patient with my quirky behavior ( it takes a while for me to trust humans and strangers) due to my previous trauma, and they understand that time heals most wounds, both physical and emotional . I'm told I am a super intelligent boy and a quick learner- specially with positive reinforcement in the mix ( ie food- I love food!). I get along with other pups as long as they respect me , are not aggressive / alpha and don't bully me. My foster mom says with the right "human leadership" I am a calm and sweet prince. NO KIDS PLEASE- they scare me- I need a quiet home where I can be the center of attention :-). I'm in a quiet, nurturing and loving foster home now- life is Good- the only thing better would be a forever home---with experienced pawrents that can decode my "stress signals," maybe take me to some pet training , and turn my sad story into a fairytale ending- could that be you?
