Illinois Cocker Rescue, created to rescue abandoned and homeless Cocker Spaniels, was incorporated as a Not-For-Profit Illinois corporation in November, 2000 and is recognized a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
In October 2003, we accepted our first group of rescues from commercial breeding facilities. These rescues were so incredibly sweet and innocent and in need of care that we got hooked. Whereas most of our rescues are Cocker Spaniels, we are now also rescuing toy breeds. Unfortunately, the American public is enamored of toy breeds so these dogs are bred in huge numbers at commercial breeding facilities.
Our focus is on holistic healing methods and a natural diet to improve the overall health of our rescued companions. Our intent is to teach prospective adopters that the health and life span of their adopted companion animal can be improved through a natural regime.
