About Dude

Meet Dude, an adorable 11-year-old Cocker Spaniel with a gentle spirit. He was recently surrendered to Florida Cocker Spaniel Rescue after his owner moved to a nursing home. Dude has a sweet demeanor and an occasional cough, which the vet attributes to a minor trachea issue, but it doesn’t dampen his charm one bit. This medium-sized boy is looking for a warm home where he can feel loved and secure. He is already altered and vaccinated, making him a well-prepared companion. If you are interested in adopting him, be aware that potential adopters must provide a verifiable veterinary history and be ready to travel to the Tampa area upon approval. Only approved applicants will be contacted. Share this lovable guy’s story—we hope he finds his forever home soon!
