Description

Specialties

Cocker Spaniel Rescue of Austin/​San Antonio (CSRA) is an all-​volunteer, non-​profit 501©(3) organization dedicated to providing a safe haven for cocker spaniel dogs in need in central Texas. Our rescued orphans are fostered in the loving homes of our volunteers who work proactively to teach life skills, advocate for the dogs’ health needs, and prepare them for life with a new family.

History

Established in 2001.

CSRA was established in October 2001 by Edmond McEnany, Noira Bolin, and Lee Bell (Noira and Lee are still on our board), under the tutelage of Cocker Spaniel Rescue of East Texas (CSRET). CSRET was looking for help rescuing cocker spaniels in the Austin & San Antonio areas. The first dog was rescued was from Town Lake Animal Shelter in Austin. In 2002, more volunteers were recruited and 36 Cockers were saved. In 2003, 35 lives were saved. By 2004, the number of dogs saved rose to 61. By 2005, the number saved was 67 and in 2006, 68 were saved. In 2007, CSRA filed for and achieved independent 501©(3) status and saved 106 dogs that year. Due to the continued growth, another Director was added to the Board in 2007. In 2008, CSRA rescued 126 cocker spaniels and in 2009 that number rose again to 139. In 2010, we saved 158 cockers and are well on the way to saving more lives than ever before in 2011!

Austin, TX
When my cat died, I wanted a new pet and my husband put the kibosh on the idea of getting another cat. I wanted something small and lap-​friendly.
For a lot of reasons, cocker spaniels became the breed of choice (not yappy, but still small) and we were referred to the Cocker Spaniel Rescue of Austin/​San Antonio by a friend with a great spaniel.
The Cocker Rescue puts the dogs in a foster home right away, which means less exposure to shelter illnesses and more exposure to families and other dogs.
They bring the available dogs to weekend meet-​ups (mostly at Petsmarts around Austin) each week, and you can meet cute dogs. If you like them, you can bring them home for a sleepover. If it doesn’t work out, you can return them to the Cocker Spaniel rescue.
It took us a few months to find the perfect dog for us, but we could not have a more perfect dog. The Cocker Rescue was really helpful start to finish. I told them I wanted a small «buff» (blonde) spaniel about 1 year old and they delivered.
Before going to a breeder, give the Cocker Rescue a try. They get beautiful dogs and puppies and these dogs need homes!
I’m posting a picture of my dog and another beautiful dog I wanted, but was leaving for a vacation the next day so i couldn’t get her. These dogs are beautiful!
