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

Description

Dog Breed: Shepherd / Bulldog / Mixed (medium coat). ***Rally is with a loving foster near Pennington, NJ. An application for his adoption can be submitted at socorescue. Questions about Rally and/or our adoption event should be sent to socorescue8gmail; please do not call the rescue's phone number.*** His Foster mom writes…Rally is house trained in his foster home. He rarely barks! To show that he needs to go outside, he will stand near door, or paces in front of the door. He absolutely needs another dog that will let him sleep with him and play with him. Rally has no food issues and will drink from the same bowl as his housemates. He understands, sit, wait, go outside, go run, get your toy and likes to hit and chase a ball. If you bend down and call him he will come, but not yet for the men in my house. He is still very timid, new things scare him, however this puppy has not a bad bone in his body. He sees young children 3-4 times a week and while he is not a fan, he watches them from afar. A home with older children that won't scare him is probably best. ………………………… 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. Rally didn't have any hesitation in accepting humans as friends like his siblings did when they first arrived. In fact, he has been very instrumental in helping his brothers also become very accepting of people. Rally is vey affectionate, playful yet calm and is a very quick learner. Rally 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 pictured**
