Who We Are

Lynne Turnquist

Rocky, Our Rockstar

Rocky, Our Rockstar

Hi! I am Lynne, and the Founder of Rockstar Cocker Rescue. Home base for us is Fulton, IL, and I have been involved in shelter, adoption, and rescue advocacy since my husband and I adopted our first cocker in 1987. Cockers quickly became my passion after finding our second cocker as a stray in 1991 and adopting a third from our local shelter in  1994. I have an education background in food and nutrition along with psychology and sociology studies, and I am thrilled to be Rockstar's pack leader.

Rocky, Our Rockstar

Rocky was the inspiration for the rescue name! We rescued Rocky from a shelter in AL after he came in very neglected. Rocky taught us that we may not always be dealt with ideal situations in our lives, but we can bounce back with love and become a true Rockstar! Rocky was adopted and lived and loved a full life in Iowa. Sadly, we announce that our inspiration, Rocky, passed away and headed to the Rainbow Bridge on June 9th, 2020. We will forever keep him in our hearts as we move forward in his memory. RIP sweet Rocky.

Steve Turnquist

Paige is our Trainer and foster home for Rockstar Cocker Rescue. She currently resides in Cedar Rapids, IA and teaches high school. We truly believe that she can understand the most confused cockers like Rocky, and was Rocky's foster mom. We are fortunate to have Paige as a part of our pack!

Steve comes along for the fun in our pack play by being married to Lynne. He describes himself as "grunt" but he handles a lot behind the scenes, and is also our photographer. He helps to keep us on track and get us where we need to be!

Foster Homes

Steve Turnquist

Foster Homes

A vital part of operating a rescue is our many foster homes in a number of states. Currently we have foster homes in IA, IL, IN, WI, and several in our southern group of AL and TN. We also have support homes that assist in getting dogs from the shelter, temp foster until transport is arranged, and get vetting done for cockers while they wait to head in the direction of an adoptive home. These can be found in KY, NC, SC, MI, MN, MO and more. A huge thank you to all that help, as we could not do it without you!

Welcome

There's much to see here. Look around, and learn all there is to know about us. Please note that we may multiple applications for the same dog. We strive to make the best fit in each situation, both for the dog and the adoptive home. We place dogs in our regions only. We do not cover the East or West Coasts.
