A wonderful rescue group! My little guy Martin came through FCCR last year, and he's been an absolute treasure. He came to the rescue after testing positive for heartworms. They took care of all his medical needs, neuter, dental and heartworm treatment. From the very beginning, he has been a loving companion, content and happy. He's home. How they operate: I can't praise this group enough! Their animals come first, and it shows. FCCR rescues dogs from all kinds of circumstances. Medical emergencies, puppy mills, owners who can no longer care for their pets, abused or neglected animals. They take these heart breaking cases and work literal miracles to heal and love them to a hopeful new life. Excellent fosters (thanks, Tori!) take such good care of their temporary pups, then send them on their way to their forever homes. Since these dogs have been through such difficult times, it's crucial that they go to secure, loving homes. Potential adopters are thoroughly vetted to be sure there's an appropriate match. Questionnaire, photos, veterinary reference (if you have one). Applications are reviewed in a timely manner. Nothing is rushed or brushed aside. That being said, I was able to bring Martin home about a week after I filed my application, so the process moves along quickly. I felt that the adoption fee was reasonable, too. If you're considering a dog from FCCR, go for it! There are so many dogs to choose from. Mostly spaniels, but an assortment of other smaller breeds, too. You'll be rewarded with a beautiful, loving animal, a charmer or a prince/princess or a love bug. Any way you choose, you'll be delighted by your new best friend. My heartfelt thanks to the entire team at FCCR! read more

Florida Coastal Cocker Rescue - He knows he's home - Community Service/Non-Profit Near Me

We went thru the adoption process and the last conversation with the foster mom was let me get with Karena and see about a transport to you. We waited a week and heard nothing. Finally I sent a text and email and heard back a day later via the text no email reply from the group . That's when I was told there were others interested. Say what. We thought he was ours? Day later Karena emails me and says a meet n greet was happening tomorrow with another applicant Needless to say it was very frustrating and anxious for a week thinking they were working on a transport for the dog to us I do not recommend read more

Filled out 3 separate applications one for each dog we were considering adopting and never received a response. Heck of a way to get these animals a new home. Suggest you find another agency to deal with. We ended up at our local shelter and adopted a sweet and loving dog no problem read more

Volunteering for FCCR has been such a wonderful opportunity to give back while spending time with the sweet pups that come through their doors. My husband and I have been fostering since 2022. The directors of the nonprofit do this in their spare time to help with a need that continues to grow. Finding homes for dogs in the shelters and surrenders is a tough task, yet they are constantly working to achieve success for the benefit of the dog and their new family. I hope you will review their social pages such as Facebook and Instagram for heartwarming stories about these cocker spaniels too. They appreciate any support, and you can help in various ways to find forever homes for these pups by reaching out to them on those sites or by going to their website. read more

We have been volunteer fosters for this nonprofit since 2022. It is such a rewarding group to help since the pups get to spend quality time with us. If you are willing to help as a foster or want to adopt, please check out their website. And if you have issues with the website, the group is active on other platforms such as Facebook and Instagram as another contact method. Also, if you want to help the pups financially, there are typically fundraisers posted on those sites, which help with their medical bills since some of the dogs can come from unfortunate situations. The rescue group covers those costs, and most of the time they are far and above the adoption cost. We can attest to that personally because we have taken pups to the vet for them, they pay the full bill, and it is typically very high. Thanks for considering helping out a group that is trying to find forever homes for these lovable souls. read more

We adopted a dog almost 2 years ago and they continue to claim him as theirs on home again. We called, paid and had his information transferred to our information . Costal cocker notified home again that they picked our dog up and took it to a care facility after we adopted him and enroll him into our care under home again. We are in a constant battle to keep the dog listed under our care in the event he his lost. Worst of all, The dog was not properly vetted by this agency . We don't want him returning to this agency. read more

I am deeply disappointed in my experience with Florida Cocker Spaniel Rescue. My interaction with Karena Loudin was extremely unpleasant and unprofessional. From the start, it was clear she didn't care about helping me with the adoption process. Despite my genuine interest in adopting a dog, the response I received was rude, curt, and pitiful. Every time I tried to ask questions about the dog or seek guidance on the adoption process, I was met with responses that seemed filled with sheer hatred. The lack of empathy and basic customer service was shocking. I left the conversation feeling frustrated and disheartened, questioning how well they truly care for their animals if this is how they treat potential adopters. Let me be clear - the interactions left me concerned for the well-being of the dogs in their care. A rescue organization should prioritize the well-being of their animals and the satisfaction of their adopters, not treat them as mere sources of funding. After reading other reviews and talking to other potential adopters, their adoption practices are discriminatory towards those who don't fit a certain ideal. I strongly advise anyone considering adopting a dog to look elsewhere. There are many wonderful rescues out there that genuinely care about their animals and adopters--Florida Coastal Cocker Spaniel Rescue is certainly not one of them. read more

This is obviously a scam. No one ever replies and they just keep sending the same email to fill out an application. The contact form is auto replied by an auto answer. They should be ashamed. read more

My partner and I have had the pleasure of fostering for Florida Costal Cocker Rescue for the last six years. The organization truly cares about the dogs in their care. The rescue does not shy away from medically needy dogs and provides them with the best care so they can find their forever homes. Everyone involved with his organization goes above and beyond to ensure the dogs receive the best care until they are adopted. The rescue only adopts the dogs out to quality homes who can provide them with the best future. Every single dog who is brought into the rescue is loved and cared for beyond measure. The rescue exemplifies compassion and selflessness. read more
