***Adoption Pending***

After learning of a hoarding situation, a neighboring county's animal control asked if SoCo Rescue could help by taking all of the dogs into our care. The AC officer explained that the owner of the dogs was disabled, indigent and unable to pay any fines that would levied against him if the dogs had to be impounded, thus resulting in jail time for the disabled owner; something that no one wanted to see happen. SoCo gladly offered help, met with the owner and came away with twenty Terrier-Dachshund mix dogs ranging in age from 3 weeks old to 5 years. Most of these dogs were suffering from various stages of fur loss, somewhat timid due to improper socialization and grossly underweight. They were all filthy, covered in fleas and infested with worms. 

Higgins is one of the more personable pups from his litter. While he interacts very well with people, Higgins does display a little timid side to him, which is typical of his breed mix. He loves his snuggle time with people, plays very well with his littermates and other pups and is just an all-around super little fellow.

Higgins has already been neutered, received an update on his vaccinations, de-wormings and other such vet care and started on his monthly preventatives. His adopter must be prepared to offer house training as Higgins has never lived inside a house. We've estimated his age to be around 8 months old but are not positive of his age.

An application for the adoption of Higgins can be submitted at socorescue.com (no registration or login required)
