About Nicole

Welcome to Camp Cocker Rescue, Nicole! This lovely Cocker Spaniel joined the rescue from Mongolia and is now fostered in Los Angeles County. Nicole adores people and craves gentle head scratches and neck rubs. With a patient approach, she'll learn to trust you and soon roll over for those rewarding belly rubs. However, she can be a bit guarded about her sensitive areas and may growl if approached too quickly. When it comes to other dogs, Nicole tends to feel uneasy with close encounters, especially on walks. In off-leash settings, she typically ignores other dogs, but she does have a strong prey drive towards cats and so will not do well in a home with them. What makes Nicole special is her ability to connect with her humans through eye contact, creating a loyal bond over time. She's well-mannered at home—no destructive behavior or trash raiding—and she has reliable potty habits. Nicole simply needs someone who respects her boundaries and allows her to build trust at her own pace. In return, she will be an incredibly loving and devoted companion. She is currently seeking an adopter, and the adoption fee has been waived. Ready to welcome Nicole into your home? Click apply to start the adoption process.
