'***Adoption Pending***

Luther and his siblings came to SoCo Rescue as owner surrenders. When we went to meet and vaccinate the pups, we met an elderly lady who stated the pups were the offsprings of a dog that her son owned. Numerous times as the SoCo team was working with the pups, the senior lady would complain about the pups being in her flower bed, jumping up on her and how she simply wanted them gone. She would also raise her walking cane and try to hit a pup in the head if that pup ventured too close to her as she kept repeating how dogs were God's only mistake. It took a couple of weeks to make room for the 6 pups and get them into a foster home. Surprisingly, the elderly lady began contacting us requesting that we return one pup because she needed a guard dog. Of course, we refused her request and suggested she use her cane!

This interesting fellow is Luther. He is usually the first to greet us when we visit his kennel and also displays a very submissive, shy side at other times. But there's no doubt that Luther will make a great addition as a family companion as he is very people oriented. He also plays well with his siblings.

Luther has been neutered, received an update on his annual vaccinations, been de-wormed, treated against parasites and started on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. A microchip will accompany his adoption. He will need house and leash training.

To apply for the adoption of Luther, please submit an application at socorescue.com. You'll be contacted if approved to adopt Luther.

** Please note: Luther suffered some type of injury, either a bug bite or during a bit of rough play, and currently has a large scabbed area on the back of his neck. A skin scrape during his vet exam ruled out any form of mange or other type of skin issue. Applying a medicated ointment will help Luther fully recover.
