Katie

My story

Katie is with a foster family near Ringoes, NJ.  If interested, please fillout our application at www.SoCoRescue.com (no phone calls please). Katie (We started calling her Kacie  as it seems  a better fit for her personality.) is a fun-loving pup who is always up for an adventure — whether it’s going for walks, hopping in the car, or exploring new places. But her absolute favorite thing in the world?  Playing with other dogs!  She has doggy playdates nearly every day with dogs that match her rough and tumble play.  Kacie gets along beautifully with every dog she meets and often comes home happy, tired, and ready for a good meal. As a young pup, Kacie still has some playful energy and can be sassy — but she’s treat-motivated and eager to please, which makes training easy. She’s already house-trained, crate-trained, and generally walks well on a leash (though squirrels are still very exciting!). She is independent, can entertain herself with toys (no separation anxiety!) and often likes to be with us but not on us.  Car rides are always a welcome adventure as are visits to Home Depot and visiting town. When her first adoption didn’t work out, we had her evaluated by not one but two trainers and they both said the same thing:  "typical pup"..."well-adjusted".  This helped us understand exactly what she needs to thrive.   Kacie's dream home includes an active family with a big, playful, male canine ready to run and wrestle,  or at least opportunities for routine playdates.  She's a GREAT dog and  we’re certain her forever family is out there.

She’s ready to be your loyal companion and best furry friend. Dublin, GA woman contacted SoCo Rescue seeking help in placing a litter of pups that a stray female dog had at her house. This was the second litter from this stray dog, but due to the overwhelming problem that all rescues/shelters in the south are currently facing, including SoCo Rescue, no one was able to assist with the first litter. Eventually the woman found help in placing all but one of the first litter and that pup, along with the mom, are still at the home. Thanks to a grant provided by Fix GA. Pets, we are now able to have the mom and older pup spay. The woman is going to offer at least a temporary home, if not permanent, to both of the dogs.   While the mom appears to be Lab mix, we're not positive who the dad was or his breed. What we do know is that, thanks to the woman and her daughter. this litter has been well socialized towards people. They love to play and re very affectionate, loving to snuggle up to people. Of course the pups will require all of their basic training.   Katie is up to date on vaccines, preventatives and is spayed.  She will need some training but is a quick learner.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 14, 2025, 5:06 pm
