***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. 

Once under our care, Hermie and his companions (all of which are related to each other) began to decompress from the stress that they had endured, received proper vet care and slowly began to see that life wasn't always going to be a struggle. Being very submissive, Hermie was getting picked on by the dominate male of the group, so we moved him into a kennel with a playful, friendlier pup and the two became instant friends. Hermie is a sweet and very affectionate pup who loves to snuggle too! He should do very well in a home with older children who can handle his energetic personality. 

Hermie has already 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 Hermie has never lived inside a house. He is scheduled to be neutered as well.

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