***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. 

While a little timid just as her siblings, Poochie was one of the first from this pack of dogs to become accepting of her new surroundings and the people in her life. She's affectionate, playful and has a strong desire to just be part of a family. Poochie will do well in a home with children who know how to properly treat a small dog.

Poochie has already been spayed, received an update on her vaccinations, de-wormings and other such vet care and started on her monthly preventatives. She also recently tested negative for heartworms. Poochie may need additional house and leash training. 

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