***Zander is scheduled to attend our adoption event at the Tractor Supply in Ringoes, NJ over the Dec 20-21 weekend. At any time, an application for his adoption can be submitted at socorescue.com without any need to register or login. Questions about Zander and/or our adoption process should be sent to socorescue8@gmail.com; please do not call the Rescue's number.***

Zander's mom, who someone claims to own, is permitted to roam freely through the subdivision she lives in and has become pregnant a number of times due to this. While we've offered free spaying and vet care, the owner has chosen rather just to let female dog continue to produce litter after litter. Most of the puppies usually meet an early demise due to a number of easily preventable reasons, including by the hands of young children who were allowed to carry newly born pups around as if they were dolls. It's alleged that the owner has also sold or traded some of the pups to support their drug habit. Zander and five of his siblings are among the few lucky ones that have survived the irresponsibility of this owner.

Despite his rough start to life, Zander seems to have a natural-born love of people. He's always happy, ready to play and loves to give kisses. No doubt, with continued love being given to him, Zander will grow into being a great family addition.

Prior to his adoption, Zander will have received all three of his first year "puppy" vaccines as well as his scheduled de-wormings and other such vet care. He'll need to receive his rabies vaccination after 12 weeks of age. Zander's adopter must agree to having him neutered once he reaches 6 months of age and provide verification of such to our rescue. And, of course, Zander will require all of his basic training.
