Towards the end of July, 2023, SoCo Rescue was contacted by a woman seeking help for her dogs. The city of Eastman, GA had impounded a number of her dogs after she was found to be in violation of their ordinance which regulated the number of dogs allowed at a home. The city had a strict 5 Day Hold policy, after which they would be euthanized. Among the dogs facing death were four 2 month old puppies whose mother was also at the shelter.  With just one day remaining on their Hold time, Scott Bennett was able to secure a safe place for both adult dogs and the four pups to go and prompted him to actually tell the AC officers to "Tell the hangman he has tomorrow off!". 

But for Paige and her three siblings, their fight to live was just beginning. Prior to being impounded, this litter consisted of six pups. Since their former owner had not been able to afford proper vet care for the pups, they all became highly infested with worms. One of the six passed away just before the others were impounded, another lost it's life while at the animal control and both of Paige's brothers succumbed to the worms within days of being rescued from the shelter. Paige and her one remaining sibling, her sister Pippi, survived their ordeal.

Paige is the more submissive of the two sisters but, boy, does she love to play! She's made friends with a few other pups at our rescue. She may be a little hesitant around new people at first, but quickly becomes very interested in making friends with them as well. She would do better in a home with older children and should make a wonderful family companion.

Paige has received all three of her first year "puppy" vaccines, her rabies and Bordetella vaccinations, been de-wormed and treated again parasites and started on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. She's also been spayed. She will require additional house, leash and basic training.
