Nicole is a loving Cocker Spaniel who enjoys gentle affection, walks, fetch, and carrying her favorite balls. Once trust is established, she forms a deep, loyal bond and enjoys relaxing quietly at home.

Ideal Home

Nicole needs a patient adopter who will respect her boundaries, allow her to approach at her own pace, and understand her warning signals. She is not recommended for a home with cats due to her strong prey drive. She may be uncomfortable when unfamiliar dogs approach closely.

Nicole is being fostered in Los Angeles County.

Ongoing Health

Nicole has liver disease and other medical issues currently managed with liver and kidney supplements. She is not in liver or kidney failure and does not currently require medication or prescription food, though those may be needed in the future. She eats a carefully managed diet without meat or high-protein foods and will need veterinary bloodwork every 3–4 months.

Training & Support

Nicole is almost completely house-trained, walks nicely on leash, and enjoys three walks a day. She is comfortable in a crate or kennel with treats and positive reinforcement. She is well-mannered indoors, settles easily when left alone, and enjoys both playtime and relaxation.

Veterinary exams and ear cleaning are stressful for Nicole, and she may try to bite when frightened or restrained. She gives clear growling warnings when uncomfortable, so careful handling and respect for her communication are important. Baths and having her paws washed after walks are easy for her.
