What will my foster be like?

Some of our rescue cockers come into rescue groomed, spayed/neutered and up to date on shots. However, this is not the norm. The rescue cocker usually needs to have a wellness vet check and shots in addition to being bathed and groomed. They may also need to be spayed/neutered and have medical issues taken care of. All of this can be done before your foster comes to you unless you would prefer to help CSRA and handle some of this yourself (you are not expected to pay for it).

Your new foster may come with some behavior issues. We try as much as possible to learn what we can about the cocker from previous owners, but many times getting information is just not possible. Some cockers may need to be housebroken. Even if they are housebroken, they may have mistakes in the house until they get used to your routine. Talk to your state coordinator about what you can handle with your foster. We try the best we can to work within your boundaries.
