Nine have been found so far ages 6-12 years old.  The cockers vary in appearance; brown, black, buff, and brown partis. All but one appear to be female. According to veterinarian Carrie Allen, &#8220;All are in horribly neglectful states, with overgrown, badly matted feces-covered fur. It appears that they have been housed in small cages amidst their own waste.&#8221; She also said the females show signs of being heavily bred. Matt Schaecher of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hshv.org\/\">Huron Valley Humane Society<\/a> said, &#8220;The dogs were dumped and left to fend for themselves. It\u2019s disturbing to see dogs discarded because someone decided they could no longer be used to make a profit.&#8221; He suspects the dogs were dumped by a breeder.<\/p>\n<p>All dogs are described as sweet. Anyone interested in adoption can call (734) 662-5585.  Some will require special needs. The Huron Valley Humane Society is offering a $500 dollar reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of persons responsible.  You can call them anonymously at (734) 661-3551.<\/p>\n<p><object type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" id=\"video\" width=\"320\" height=\"280\" data=\"http:\/\/www.wxyz.com\/video\/videoplayer.swf?dppversion=8915\"><param value=\"http:\/\/www.wxyz.com\/video\/videoplayer.swf?dppversion=8915\" name=\"movie\"\/><param value=\"&#038;skin=MP1ExternalAll-MFL.swf&#038;embed=true&#038;adSizeArray=1x1000,320x40,3x1000&#038;adSrc=http%3A%2F%2Fad%2Edoubleclick%2Enet%2Fpfadx%2Fssp%2Ewxyz%2Fnews%2Fregion%2Fwashtenaw%5Fcounty%2Fdetail%3Bdcmt%3Dtext%2Fxml%3Bsz%3D%25size%25%3Bpos%3D%25pos%25%3Bloc%3D%25loc%25%3Bcomp%3D%25adid%25%3Btile%3D3%3Bfname%3Dtips%2Dwanted%2Din%2Dcase%2Dof%2Dseven%2Dcocker%2Dspaniels%2Dabandoned%2Din%2Dsalem%2Dtownship%3Bord%3D534219269133945600%3Frand%3D%25rand%25&#038;flv=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ewxyz%2Ecom%2Ffeeds%2FoutboundFeed%3FobfType%3DVIDEO%5FPLAYER%5FSMIL%5FFEED%26componentId%3D187706348&#038;img=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia2%2Ewxyz%2Ecom%2F%2Fphoto%2F2011%2F04%2F07%2Fdogs%5Fdumped%5Fon%5Fdirt%5Froc9f4dfc6%2Dcf6e%2D40c1%2Db3e4%2D1c3e832e745e0000%5F20110407181221%5F640%5F480%2EJPG&#038;story=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ewxyz%2Ecom%2Fdpp%2Fnews%2Fregion%2Fwashtenaw%5Fcounty%2Ftips%2Dwanted%2Din%2Dcase%2Dof%2Dseven%2Dcocker%2Dspaniels%2Dabandoned%2Din%2Dsalem%2Dtownship&#038;category=&#038;title=&#038;oacct=&#038;ovns=\" name=\"FlashVars\"\/><param value=\"all\" name=\"allowNetworking\"\/><param value=\"always\" name=\"allowScriptAccess\"\/><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ufeff\ufeff\ufeffMotorists have been spotting purebred cocker spaniels along 5 Mile Road and Salem in Salem Township, Michigan since April 1st.
