Looking for a good home for my 9 year old cocker spaniel. He is very sweet and affectionate; however, we will be moving soon and are unable to take him. We got him from a rescue shelter when he was 3 and as a result do not know specifics regarding his pedigree or upbringing. He is great with older children and has shown no signs of resource guarding against people. He has previously had issues with other dogs, however over the last couple of years is able to board and be with other dogs without any incident. He suffers from dry eyes, and as a result his eyesight is fading however, and may not be the best with toddlers. All vaccines and shots are up to date.
