After SoCo Rescue's Scott Bennett noticed and was able to befriend a stray female dog who had recently had a litter of pups, the female dog actually led Scott to her litter of pups that she had hidden abut a mile away in the woods. With help from fellow SoCo staff member Tina Morgan, the litter of ten 2 week old pups and their mom (named Debbie) were all brought to our rescue. Unfortunately, one of the pups passed away the next day and three others were lost to Parvo, but  Scott and the SoCo staff were able to save the remaining 6 pups, including Dennis.

If Dennis was a person, we'd best describe him as a little Joe Pesci: a little tough guy with a very funny personality. He came so close to death during his bout with Parvo but simply refused to give up. And during that time, he remained just as affectionate and comical as ever. There's no doubt that Dennis will make someone a great companion and provide them with lots of love for years to come. 

As of March 24, Dennis will have received 2/3 of his first year "puppy" vaccines and been de-wormed at proper intervals. Her adopter must agree to having Dennis neutered once he reaches 6 months of age and provide verification of such to our rescue. Dennis will require all of his basic training.

**As mentioned, Dennis had been infected with Parvo and treated at SoCo Rescue. He’s now made a full recovery.  Typically any dog or puppy that survives Parvo will develop a strong immunity against the deadly virus. Keeping current with protective vaccinations is still strongly advised.
