Winter

>>> Winter is: Energetic, playful, and enjoys people & other dogs, and potty trained! She's gentle, so we THINK she'll probably be OK with kids, and even cats! She's also blind & deaf, a congenital condition resulting from the double Blue Merle gene.

But she's still a puppy, and very playful, and would LOVE to find a home with a another young playful dog to be her companion! >> MORE PHOTOS, VIDEOS & PROGRESS NOTES FOR WINTER CAN BE FOUND AT > Stay current with the latest details & updates on *ALL* Camp Cocker Rescue dogs at WELCOME TO CAMP COCKER RESCUE, WINTER! Winter was rescued from the SEAACA shelter on January 9, .

She is estimated* to be less than a year old, and is a very sweet & affectionate, 18 pound, female Blue Merle Cocker Spaniel mix.

Winter is blind, in both eyes, as well as deaf, which is likely the result of the congenital defect of a double-merle gene - one inherited from the mother and one from the father - from the mating of two Blue Merles.

Our next stop for Winter was to see the ophthalmologist! The ophthalmologist confirmed that Winter does not have vision in either eye, but she did react to light in her exam, which is great news because it helps Winter to recognize things like the time of day.

That, plus her keen senses of smell and touch help her to get around quite nicely! Winter has plenty of puppy energy! She loves to romp in the backyard, where she doesn't seem to have a care in the world! She loves sniffinig out other dogs and engaging them to play, she loves approaching people for physical contact.

If ever there was a love bug, it's Winter! She's very sweet & gentle.

Winter would LOVE a home with a young playful dog! Winter is being fostered in the Los Angeles area.
