REGGIE - SHEPHERD / BULLDOG / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Shepherd / Bulldog / Mixed (medium coat). ***Reggie will be available for adoption at the Tractor Supply in Ringoes, NJ over the May 31st weekend. An application for his adoption can be submitted at socorescue. Questions about Reggie and/or our adoption event should be sent to socorescue8gmail; please do not call the rescue's phone number.*** Shortly after wrapping up a concert in Macon, GA, Grammy award winning Jazz singer/songwriter Nicole Zuraitis came across a stray dog and her five puppies lying in the grass in front of an abandoned house. With a heavy amount of compassion in her heart, Nicole not only left food for the stray mom and pups, she also began contacting rescues to see who could help them but wasn't having much luck as every place she contacted was packed full. With just a day left before she was to head overseas to perform concerts in Europe, Nicole finally made contact with SoCo Rescue. After sharing Nicole's post about the dogs, a fellow rescuer Shawna Simmons, was able to help find a foster for mom and pups until we could get them into our rescue. Luckily, the foster decided to adopt the mom and on April 12, we were able to get the five pups. Reggie is clearly the more alpha pup of this litter and was the first to become very accepting of human contact. He is very food motivated and that's what's helped him to become better socialized towards people. He does play well with other dogs but at times, can be a bit overpowering with them. Still, Reggie is a great puppy who will make someone a very good companion. Reggie has received all of his first year "puppy" vaccinations, de-wormings and started on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. He's also been neutered. He will do best in a home without a lot of commotion and would benefit from having another dog in the home. **Mom picture**
