Cocker Spaniel Dogs Available for Adoption

Leo is a young cocker spaniel and needs a dog savvy family or someone willing to spend time with training. The owner left detailed notes. Leo has many redeeming qualities, but his owner has been upfront with some resource guarding issues with his crate and food. Is Leo friendly? Yes. Will he be compatible for every home? No.
Many times the right adopter comes along for a dog. We are confident that this will be the case for Leo, too.
