American Cocker Spaniel Rescue

Say I wrote a review back 8÷24÷14 I came to check reviews because had a discussion with someone about ACSR. It amazes me not trying to be mean but since all the somewhat negative reviews there are posting of all five-​star review on the same day 3÷31÷15??? I understand that people work and rescue and all this takes time. But why is it that some people get a call and they say wait be patient. I waited six months, and left messages and continue to call and nothing. Why are most dogs been there so long and posted other places and not adopted? Why can’t these dogs have a chance at a home and why can’t people have a chance at adopting them. The same dog we were interested in Zoey is still there almost two years later? He was so wanted.

I was interested in finding a cocker spaniel as a new companion to our family but when I went to the «address «I couldn’t even find a place if it even exists someone please reply to this I do not know if it is real or not? I emailed but i don’t think I’ll get a reply…

I adopted my beautiful LOLA from Terri’s rescue in 2009. Her owners had turned her in to be put down because of cherry eye, a condition that turned out to be treatable. I had known Terri for years and knew she took care of many dogs who had been abused, neglected and abandoned. Lola was in foster care north of Seattle and Terri made sure she got down to Spanaway so I could meet her. I’ve now had her for 6 years and she is the best. IN 2012 I fostered Tux and wound up adopting him too. I know Terri has done a lot of driving and spent a lot of $$ to take care of the dogs that come into rescue and to find them good homes and the she has been a stellar mom to her own pets, she truly loves her babies and the rescue babies and has the heart of a true dog mom. The only negative thing I could say is that sometimes she is hard to get in touch with in real time because she is so busy and also works. That is a small negative for all the positive work she has done and I am thankful every day that she saved Lola and Tux and that they are now a part of my family.

Terri at ACSR is amazing and truly loves what she does in helping these wonderful animals find homes, healthy homes. We have had two dogs from Terri and will go back when we want our next companion. She treats the dogs with tender care and is amazing. I am not sure about not getting a hold of Terri, I have called both times, gotten a response and picked out our dogs within a week of our first contact. Our experience has been five star all the way! Thanks TERRI!

I adopted my current dog through the American Cocker Spaniel rescue serval years ago. Terri has always been very helpful, and has gone to great lengths and to great expense of both opportunity and money in order to help these wonderful dogs find their «forever homes». If you find yourself looking for a new companion animal, do not hesitate to reach out to Terri, I am certain that she will help you select just the right dog!

There’s no place like this place anywhere near this place. It’s where we got our lovable Cocker Molly so I’m a fan. That said, management is not focused as a business is; it’s focused on caring for the dogs. If you really want to reach her, go to her home (the shelter). There, you’ll find a tremendous selection. Terri will check you out to be sure you’re suitable — just so you know. Next take your dog to the vet… these dogs haven’t been cared for (except by Terri) and she doesn’t have the money to bring them all back to perfect health. That will be part of your rescue responsibility. Once you’re home and happy, don’t forget ACSR. Send $$$ regularly.

Terri is amazing and does wonderful things to help dogs in need. I connected with her in 2013 when I was fostering a cocker spaniel and needed help getting her into a home. I live in CA, so we flew the pup (Misty, now Molly) up to Terri and under Terri’s care, Molly found a loving furever home. I have so much appreciation and love for Terri and all she does. She’s wonderful and gives her heart and soul to help dogs in need. Thank you for all you do Terri!

Teri saves Cockers in her spare time. She is a full time nurse, trains and competes with her dogs and does the shelter in her spare time, paying for most of it with her own money. She is slow to respond and works alone. A lot of reviewers have left negative reviews about «timeliness» which is understandable, but they need to understand this is just one woman, saving dogs out of love.
I emailed over and over till finally I got a hold of her and met her. She is a wonderful woman, who loves dogs. I got my dog Friend and couldn’t be happier, he’s amazing and so is Terri! Friend didn’t have a chance and now he’s living the good life. This is all because of Terri and her love for doggies.
Be patient, persistent. She’ll get back to you.

I am giving this one star cuz I have to! There is no response from these ppl! I was very interested to adopt from this shelter but they don’t seem to care! Save yourself the time and please look elsewhere if you are interested in adopting a dog.

I am basing this review strictly on the fact that no one at this organization responds to contact attempts in a timely manner, if at all. It has been two months since I first starting contacting them through their web site. They have no phone number listed on the web site, so using the «Contact Us» submission form was my only recourse. They had new dog on the site that needed adoption and I was very interested. Finally at the end of May I tracked down a phone number but apparently the machine was always full because I was unable to leave a message. Tried contacting them again and finally did hear back via email. I completed the adoption form and submitted it within two days, but I still have heard nothing. I understand this is an organization made up of volunteers, but shouldn’t there be an expectation of a response from them? I doubt if we are not qualified to rescue a dog, but since we’ve not heard anything further I don’t know that.
There are dogs showing on the site from 2012. One, the website needs to be updated, or two, they’re not doing their job if those dogs are still in need of rescue.
At this point I give up and will look elsewhere to rescue a dog in need of a home.
