Oldies but Goodies Cocker Rescue, Inc, (OBG) is an all-volunteer non profit animal rescue organization based in Washington DC that is dedicated to the prevention of cruelty to animals. We do this through the rescue, medical care, rehabilitation and placement by adoption of homeless and/or abandoned cocker spaniels and cocker spaniel mixes to good homes in the Mid-Atlantic region.

OBG originated in Northern Virginia in 1996, out of a concern for the number of more senior dogs in the area that found themselves without homes, and had virtually no options for being rescued. OBG rescues cockers and cocker mixes of all ages, and has grown over the years to serve not only the Washington DC metro area, but also the Mid-Atlantic area.  In 2009 we rescued and placed over 300 dogs. We typically have 100 dogs in our "inventory" which are kept in private foster homes.

OBG rescues cockers and cocker mixes of all ages (both young and old) directly from owners or from shelters.  OBG loves all animals, but by focusing on Cockers we are able to efficiently free up shelter space around the DC area which benefits all homeless dogs.

OBG is a no-kill rescue organization. We rarely euthanize, and then only for severe medical (e.g: terminal conditions when the animal is suffering) or extreme behavioral issues. We never euthanize dogs because they are "too old" or because they've been with us for "too long".  We are not an animal sanctuary, but OBG dogs always have a home with us, and some have lived out their remaining days in loving foster homes never having been placed, but happy nonetheless.
