Jake is a social, confident, people-loving guy who greets the world with enthusiasm. His owner describes him as “jaunty,” and it’s easy to see why. He loves being part of whatever his people are doing, whether that’s yard work, hanging out while you work, going for walks, or heading out on an adventure. He enjoys playing fetch, chewing on one of many favorite toys, and pretending he’s a lap dog.

Jake loves other dogs! He does well as part of a pack, and we really want a playful canine companion in the home for him. If he’s an only dog, a fenced yard to play fetch and doggy playdates would also be a great outlet for him.

This handsome boy is crate-trained, house-trained, walks well on leash, and rides nicely in the car. He’s a budding senior but still an active guy who typically gets two walks a day and needs regular activity and engagement. The good news is that he can settle down with a chew or toy when it’s time to relax.

Jake loves to snuggle. He’ll hop onto the couch beside you, rest his head on your shoulder, and lean in for a hug. He’s a well-mannered guy who sits for treats and doesn’t beg for food. He has a healthy appetite and isn’t picky, although his diet is managed due to a possible food allergy.

Jake is a fun, affectionate companion with plenty of life and love to share. He’s ready for a family that appreciates his cheerful, outgoing personality and will give him the activity, companionship, and structure he needs.

Could Jake be the scruffy sidekick you’ve been looking for? Apply today

Lucky is everything you could want in a companion: sweet, affectionate, easygoing, and happiest when she’s with her people. Her foster describes her as an absolute dream. She’s house-trained, well-mannered, walks nicely on a leash without pulling, rides calmly in the car, and is comfortable staying in her own space when her person leaves. She learns quickly, comes when called, and sits politely for treats without jumping or grabbing.

This girl is a world-class snuggler! She loves sleeping under the covers with her head on your shoulder, giving kisses, leaning into your hands for affection, and rolling over for belly rubs. She’ll happily follow you from room to room just to be near you. When she’s not cuddling, she enjoys walks, chasing balls and squeaky toys, and spending time with her dog buddies. She has a playful side but settles down nicely and is content to relax by your side.

Lucky is currently living with another dog and gets along well with canine companions. She’s curious and appropriate when meeting new dogs, and her easygoing nature could make her a wonderful addition to a home with another friendly dog. She could also thrive as your one and only, soaking up all the love. Her history with cats is unknown, and while she hasn’t been formally tested with children, we believe she could do well with kind, respectful kids.

After losing the family she knew, Lucky deserves a home where she’ll feel safe, loved, and included. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate best friend who will happily share your couch, your bed, and pretty much your entire day, Lucky may be your girl!

Story: Dobby was found alone in a crate in a D.C. alley on a chilly morning without food, water, or a blanket. She’s being cared for by neighbors and has had her initial vaccines and vet checkup. She has likely spent her entire life confined to the crate and without appropriate nutrition which has resulted in some growth abnormalities in her legs that make walking a little difficult, though she’s getting stronger everyday. She has the sweetest, most affectionate disposition and has demonstrated remarkable resilience and curiosity now that she’s outside of the crate. She lives with two other small dogs and gets along well with them, though she doesn’t have enough strength for more physical play yet. She would thrive in a home with minimal stairs, maximal cuddles, and lots of love.

If you think that Dobby might be your perfect match, please email info@peteyandfurends.org.

Story: We are so happy to have Bryn safe and sound in a foster home in the DC area now. Bryn is a happy sweet girl who loves people and gets along great with other dogs and puppies.

Like all dogs, Bryn will need an adopter who is committed to setting her up for success by enrolling in obedience training and exercising her both mentally and physically. She will also need love, patience, and socialization in order to thrive!

Story: Meet Summi, a sweet and gentle girl with a goofy boxer streak who is ready to find her forever family! Summi is a devoted shadow who loves nothing more than napping beside you on the couch (or in your lap!). She’s wonderfully calm and cuddly once she’s comfortable, takes treats with a soft mouth, and does great in her crate overnight. On walks she trots along nicely with little pulling and takes time to stop and smell the roses. Her playful side shines in the backyard, where she zooms around, chases tennis balls, and invites you into a joyful game of chase. Summi loves meeting other dogs, so a canine buddy to show her the ropes would be a perfect match. She’s a bit shy as she learns the world, so she’s looking for a patient, loving family who will give her some time to settle in and celebrate every small victory with her. She’s a sweetie and will make her future family very happy!

Summi tested positive for Heartworm. This is a very treatable illness that is common in many shelter dogs coming from the South. Treatment will be paid for by the rescue. For more information on heartworm, visit our blog.

We think Gunner may be a Beagle/German Shorthaired Pointer mix, and he’s just a great all-around dog. He is currently being fostered by Johanna and living with her four dogs and 2 cats. He enjoys being part of a pack
and loves to play with other dogs. In fact, having a playful canine companion is at the top of his wish list! But when playtime is over, he’s happy to relax on the couch, chew on his toys, or snuggle under the covers.

Gunner has great house manners. He’s completely housebroken, crate trained, and quiet in his crate. He knows sit and down, takes correction well, and is learning to keep all four paws on the ground when greeting people. He’s also respectful of cats and comfortable out and about. He even did great on a recent brewery outing!

Confident, social, and easygoing, Gunner is the kind of dog who fits right into the routine. He enjoys being around people and other animals but doesn’t need to be the center of attention. He does pull a bit on the leash, but his foster mom finds him easy to walk overall, and he’ll improve with practice. Walks are likely new for him.

Gunner’s ideal home would have another playful dog to be his buddy. He can occasionally bark at wildlife or sounds, so a home where that won’t be an issue would be best.

If you’re looking for a fun, well-mannered companion who gets along with dogs and cats and knows how to settle in at home, Gunner could be your guy!

Gunner will be coming to the DC metro area on 11/7.

Apply today to welcome him home!

Whether the other dog wants to run around and play or just lounge on the floor, I’m happy to match their energy. I’m spayed, microchipped, and caught up on all my vaccines.If you want a total lovebug who will make your family very happy, come meet me!

Once I know we’re friends, I take my cues from them and adjust right to their speed, whether I'm hanging out with a playful buddy or a total couch potato. On the vet side, everything is done: I’m spayed, microchipped, up to date on my shots, and tested negative for heartworm and tick diseases. I’d love to grow up with a family who has room for a gentle, affectionate pup—come meet me soon!

Special Adoption Considerations: Puppies under 6 months of age need to have multiple potty breaks/exercise throughout the day. Potential adopters with a standard 8-hour workday must be willing to make arrangements to meet the needs of their puppy.

Rocket is Looking For: Hiya! I'm Rocket! Me and my sister Roo have loved our time in the puppy pile, but we are each ready to pack our bags and find our very own forever home! I'm looking for a home that will let me play with toys and get my puppy zoomies out and give me snuggles in between playtimes. When I'm a little older, I can't wait to explore my new neighborhood on lots of walks, and I'd really like to make a bunch of doggie friends along the way. Oh, and I should probably take a puppy obedience class or two so I can show you how smart I am. What do you say? Do you have room in your heart for me?

What My Foster Says About Me: Coming soon!
Puppy Vetting Requirements: Lucky Puppies have had their age appropriate vaccines, but may not yet be “fully” vaccinated. It is the adopter’s responsibility to ensure that the remaining puppy vaccines are given at the appropriate time. Please also keep in mind that, until your puppy is fully vaccinated, they are at greater risk for illness than an adult dog.

Your new puppy will need to work on their house training and will also need to go to obedience school so they can grow into a well-socialized dog! TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this puppy is $485, which includes the cost of routine vetting and transport from the shelter.

At just 4 years old, Dior has already experienced more heartbreak than any dog should. She was surrendered by her original owner when she was only a year old, but eventually found what she thought would be her forever home with an elderly couple in their 80s who absolutely adored her. She became her dad’s constant companion. They were inseparable. She stayed by his side, walked gently beside him, and gave him the kind of unconditional love only a dog can give.

Sadly, both of her beloved humans have since passed away. Their neighbor, who is now caring for Dior, stepped in to make sure she wouldn't be left without somewhere to go. But despite their best efforts, Dior needs a new forever family of her own.

And here's the thing about Dior... she is SO easy to love.

She is a professional cuddler who loves nothing more than snuggling up with her person, preferably right in bed beside them. She has a serious obsession with tennis balls, enjoys her outdoor playtime, loves her toys, and knows her commands. She is affectionate, devoted, gentle, and happiest when she has someone to call her own.

Dior is looking for a home where she can be the one and only pet. She deserves a home where she doesn't have to compete for attention or navigate life alongside other animals. She has also shown focused curiosity toward cats, so a cat-free home is recommended.

Dior would do best in a quieter home with a predictable routine, where she can soak up all the love and attention. Her experience with children is limited, so any placement with kids would need careful consideration.

She is currently around 72 pounds and working toward a healthier weight.

We know her perfect person is out there. Someone who wants a loyal companion, a cuddle buddy, a tennis ball enthusiast, and a best friend who will adore them with her whole heart.

Dior has already had to say goodbye to the people she loved most. She deserves to stop wondering where she belongs. She deserves a home where she can unpack her bags, climb onto the couch, steal a spot in bed, and finally know that she's staying.

Let's make sure Dior's next chapter is her forever chapter.

Prince Frederick, Calvert County, Maryland. Her current caretaker is willing to travel for the right home.

Dior is spayed and up to date on vaccines.

If you are interested in giving Dior the loving home she deserves, please Contact Beck at

Hopefully, I will find my new family that will turn me into a happy, cherished family pet again. Hope to see you soon. For more information about this dog, email our Adoption Coordinator. Our adoption process starts with an application. If you are interested in adopting this pup, please click the Adopt menu at the top of the screen, read about our process, and click the application link. The medical and custodial care of the many Cockers in our care is tremendous. More and more dogs are abandoned with urgent and serious medical issues. We are committed to providing the best possible care for these forgotten friends. Unfortunately, the mounting high costs are beginning to limit the number of dogs we are able to take into our program. Even if you cannot adopt or foster one of our current adoptable dogs, please consider making a donation. The Cocker Spaniel Adoption Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization, and your donations are entirely tax deductible. Click the Donate menu at the top of the screen.

When it’s time to relax, he feels most comfortable in a fenced backyard where he can safely enjoy some fresh air and outdoor time.
If you’re looking for a devoted, affectionate companion who wants to be included in family life, Brodie could be just the boy you’ve been waiting for! He’s ready to find a loving forever home where he can give and receive all the love his heart has to offer.

Pig ears are another favorite when he’s in the mood for a good chew. He’s made wonderful progress with leash walking and isn’t bothered by cars, bikes, or motorcycles. People, however, are VERY exciting! Blue loves seeing everyone and may announce his enthusiasm with an enthusiastic bark.
Despite his exuberance on walks, Blue is calm and friendly when visiting public places and has enjoyed several successful outings to local businesses. He also rides well in the car, although he needs to be safely restrained because he’d much rather climb up front to be closer to his foster mom! He’s crate-trained, but he’s also well-behaved in the house and is trusted to sleep and stay home without being crated.
Blue is a big, lovable bundle of potential! He’ll thrive with a family ready to provide consistent training, appropriate outlets for his energy, and plenty of opportunities to explore the world with his people. In return, you’ll get a friendly, playful companion who brings a whole lot of joy wherever he goes.
Could Blue be the big-hearted boy you’ve been waiting for?

He’s crate trained, housetrained, and currently lives with another dog. Like any adolescent pup, he still needs supervision and guidance, but he’s smart and picks up household rules and routines quickly.

Ziggy loves to play, snuggle, and play some more, but he knows how to settle down, too. His foster parents work from home, and after his morning potty break, he can nap or entertain himself with toys while they take work calls. A long walk or hike later in the morning helps him stay settled for much of the day. He has the occasional burst of zoomies, as you’d expect from a young dog, but overall, he has a moderate energy level.

He’s social and makes friends easily with people and other dogs, with no dog reactivity. He walks well on leash in quiet areas, but loud traffic, large trucks, and buses are still very frightening for him, making walks in busy areas challenging. He’d do best in a quieter suburban setting. His foster parents are gradually exposing him to new experiences, and he’s building confidence along the way.

Although Ziggy enjoys playing with other dogs, he doesn’t rely on them for entertainment and loves being with his people. We think he could do well as an only dog if the family has a flexible schedule, or with a friendly canine companion who enjoys playing.

He’s making great progress with training, willingly goes into his crate when his foster family leaves, and is learning basic commands like “wait,” "here" and “off.” He has mastered sit. He’s highly motivated by food and toys, which makes training fun. He also loves chasing balls and toys and bringing them right back for another round!

If you’re looking for a joyful, affectionate young dog who enjoys both adventure and snuggle time and is ready to keep learning with his forever family, Ziggy could be the one. He has all the makings of an incredible lifelong companion. Now he just needs a family to call his own. ❤️

Olive has been in foster care for well over a year in New York City with another dog but she would prefer being your one-and-only.

She

will thrive in a quieter urban, suburban or rural area, since busy city

streets with trucks and motorcycles can make her anxious.

Olive needs to find a stable, long-term home with an experienced family or person who can give her lots of attention, love, fun times and structure. She does great once she's used to an environment with consistency and care.

If you are looking for a devoted life-time companion to share life's joys and adventures, Olive would love to hear from you.

Wilson is everything people love about young dogs: playful, curious, affectionate, smart, and adaptable. And those ears! He approaches life with enthusiasm and is always ready for his next adventure. His foster mom describes him as incredibly smart, entertaining, and full of life in the way that only an adolescent pup can be.

At 9-10 months old, Wilson loves to play, explore, chase balls, solve puzzles, and stay busy. He would thrive with an active family that can provide regular exercise, playtime, and structure. We’d especially love to see him in a home with another young, playful dog who can be his wrestling and running buddy. He enjoys canine companionship and would benefit from having a fun playmate.

Wilson is crate trained, house-trained, and has improved on his leash skills. He may protest briefly when first crated, but settles once he realizes it’s time to relax. His foster mom puts warmed towels in before he goes to bed right now, and he can’t wait to curl up in them...can you blame him?

Like most adolescent pups, Wilson still needs boundaries and oversight. Left to his own devices, he’ll happily investigate coffee tables, towels, clothing, and anything else that catches his attention. Fortunately, he’s very smart, responds well to guidance, and is exactly the age where structure and training make a big difference.

And once he’s had his exercise and the zoomies are over, Wilson’s sweet side really shines. ❤️ He loves to snuggle, burrow under blankets, and curl up with his people. He’s a pup who wants to be close to his family and included in everything you do.

Wilson is looking for a fun, active family who are ready to give him the structure and love he needs to reach his full potential. In return, he’ll bring you laughter, adventure, companionship, and endless entertainment.

Wilson needs a foster or adopter to bring him to town! Foster-to-adopt is an option, too.

Sadie is the most perfect lady: Her most favorite spot is on a soft pillow, bed or snuggled in a blanket. She is so laid-back and only wants to follow her human and look out the door to see what is up in the neighborhood. Walks are the highlight of her day!

Sadie gets along with dogs of all sizes and cats. She is spayed and current on vaccines and preventatives. Sadie is a 10 year old Shih Tzu mix; still needing to gain weight, Sadie loves her afternoon snacks, especially peanut butter balls!

This precious girl will wiggle her way into your heart in a minute, what are you waiting for? Come meet her in New Cumberland, PA.

Our adoption fee for altered dogs is $350 and goes directly to saving the lives of more dogs.

Shiloh can be a little shy and nervous when she first meets someone, but it doesn't take long for her to warm up. Once she trusts you, she is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and loves to be held and cuddled. She has done wonderfully with her foster’s dog and enjoys having a pup companion. The two play, snuggle, and even share the dog bed. She would also be happy as an only dog if her people have the time and flexibility for a young pup.

Overall, Shiloh is a medium-level energy pup. She is an active girl who also settles well in the house. She is an excellent leash walker and has been enjoying multiple walks a day with her foster mom. Her quick potty walks are typically just 5 to 10 minutes, with longer walks twice a day. She has also been to the local greenway for 45-minute walks a few times and did great around dogs, people, children, and horses. She would love an owner who enjoys getting out for walks with her.

A condo or townhome may actually be a great fit for Shiloh. She is small, doesn't need a large yard, and is happy going out on leash to potty and exercise. If she does have a yard, it will need to be very securely fenced. Shiloh is surprisingly good at squeezing through small spaces and has slipped through her foster's fence a few times. She has always come back, but her adopters will need to be diligent about preventing an escape. She has also tried to slip out the front door, although she is learning to wait.

Shiloh is house trained and has good house manners. She took to her crate immediately and regularly goes in on her own, although she currently has free run of the house and her foster mom has not felt the need to crate her. Like most young dogs, she has discovered that trash cans and unattended food are worth investigating, so she'll need some supervision and continued training.

FOSTER MOM UPDATE - 10/28/26

"We've learned that Shiloh is an excellent traveler. She has gone on a couple of trips with us... to the mountains and to Columbia to see family. She spent hours in the car and had to get out and walk in strange places. She went to the outside dining area with us and into a store that was dog-friendly. She did great! She’s doing great with meeting new people. She’s still a little nervous at first. And she was good at the vet. No barking at other dogs."

Shiloh is a sweet, playful young dog who loves her people and is quickly learning how good life can be. She would do well with another dog or as an only dog and would love a family ready to give her plenty of walks, attention, and affection.
