***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 this little girl may act a little shy, she's literally playing possum as she simply loves human interaction! Possum has a very affectionate personality and loves curling up in a lap as she gets her belly rubs. Possum should do very well in most home situations but we do recommend a calmer household and only with children old enough to properly handle a small dog.

Possum 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. Possum may need additional house and leash training. 

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