Clumber Spaniel Rescue

This week, I wanted to devote some time to a couple of breed-specific rescue groups in this area.

According to the group’s website, the “Clumbers in Need” rescue group seeks to rescue Clumber Spaniels from puppy mills and backyard breeders. They do not accept owner surrenders or pull Clumbers from rescue groups. Their mission is very narrow in focus.

Never heard of the breed? I confess I had not. I visited the AKC website and learned that the Clumber was one of the original nine breeds that registered by the AKC. According to the AKC, the Clumber is a playful, loving dog who would be good for a family. Here is a link to the AKC site: http://www.akc.org/breeds/clumber_spaniel/

It is horrifying to think anyone would abuse a Clumber or any animal, for that matter. If you would like to learn more about Clumbers in Need, here is a link to their website: http://www.clumbersinneed.com/

This Saturday, October 15, “Clumbers in Need” will be at Pet Supermarket on Tunnel Road in Asheville from noon until 4:00 p.m. They do have a few Clumber Spaniels available for adoption. I am sure they would be happy to answer any questions you have about Clumbers too.
