About Dory

Welcome to Camp Cocker, Dory! Sweet Dory has journeyed from a South Korean puppy mill to a loving foster home, where she has blossomed. Her gentle, affectionate nature makes her a delight. Dory has a charming baby face and enjoys following her caregiver around, quietly seeking affection. Dory thrives in calm environments where she can receive reassurance and consistency. She loves people, showing little anxiety around strangers, and particularly enjoys the company of men. This affectionate Cocker Spaniel loves sitting on laps and values physical closeness, which brings her comfort and security. Although she can be wary of sudden approaches from other dogs—possibly due to having only one eye—she typically gets along well with them once she feels safe. Dory has shown that she can handle brief alone times without issue, resting quietly when left by herself. Walks are a joy for her, and she tends to have good leash manners while exploring her surroundings. Dory is primarily potty trained indoors but also goes outside. She engages less with toys and finds happiness in being near people, walking, and simple exploration. Though she may be startled by loud noises or sudden movements toward her face, her reactions are mild. For her forever home, Dory would thrive with a gentle family who understands her needs. An ideal environment would be calm and loving, with careful introductions to other dogs to avoid overwhelming her. Dory is a truly affectionate companion, and she is looking for someone to share her love with. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
