***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. 

Out of all of the twenty dogs to come from that home, Pumpkin has to be the friendliest, most socialized and well-rounded of them all. She's quick to make new friends, gets along great with the others in her pack and simply loves spending time with people. She'll do very well in just about any home situation and as long as any children are responsible enough to handle a small dog.

Pumpkin 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. Pumpkin may need additional house and leash training. 

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