Description
Dog Breed: Hound / Mixed (short coat). ***Dennis is currently located at SoCo Rescue in GA. He can be transported to New Jersey and be available during an upcoming adoption event at the Tractor Supply in Ringoes. An application for him adoption should be submitted at socorescue (no need to register or login). Questions about Dennis and/or our adoption policy should be sent to socorescue8gmail; please do not call the Rescue's number.*** 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.

Breed overview
Overview:
A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
