Saw rescue dogs at Pet Expo in San Mateo: what breed are they?

The dog I wanted to adopt was named sassy. She was a English Cocker. One of the sweetest dogs I've ever met. The thing that stopped me from adopting was the rescue wanted $400! That is not adoption. That is buying a dog. I would have paid $200 max for the dog, and I would have been willing to even donate money to the rescue on top, but flat out demanding $400 for a rescue dog seemed a little harsh to me. If their approach was different, I would have taken Sassy home that day!

They are in Fremont, with foster homes all over the California Bay Area. They have an amazing reputation, and I got to talk to a couple who brought their foster dogs to the show. I doubt you'll have to pay $400, which does seem extremely steep.

How sad that Sassy didn't get a home that day...

Furry Friends Animal Rescue

I guess there were multiple rescues at the San Mateo show. The rescue that I was referring to was called Doggie Protective Services for Homeless Tails. They are located in Romoland, CA. This was the group that was charging $400 for adoption. I am still thinking about giving them a call and adopting Sassy even though the price was steep. . . . We will see. . . . It's hard to spend that kind of cash in an economic downturn.

And a few cockers too....
