Irresponsible pet owners who don't have their pets spay or neutered don't just add to the overwhelming situation that all rescues face, they also affect the lives of those people who also have compassion on unwanted dogs and cats. Such was the case with a litter of pups whose mom (pictured) belonged to a family. The unaltered female dog was allowed to wander freely around the neighborhood and eventually became pregnant. This female dog, for whatever reason, felt much safer going to a neighbor's house and having her litter of 10 pups inside their garage. Knowing that the owner wouldn't provide proper care for mom or her pups, the neighbor convince the owner to let them keep mom and pups. They then contacted SoCo Rescue, offered to foster the pups until they were ready for adoption. Of course adding 10 pups and their mom to their home caused a lot of stress to the neighbor's daily life, but they remained committed to helping this litter of pups.

A little more reserved with new people buy an absolute sweetheart. She has a small white spot on belly that is in the shape of a heart. She gets along very well with her siblings and the other dogs at her foster home.

Joan has been spayed & received all three of her first year puppy vaccinations, been de-wormed and treated against parasites at the proper intervals, received her rabies and bordetella vaccines and been started on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. She will require all of her basic training.
