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 Dina.

Dina got her name because she resembles on of Scott Bennet's personal dogs, whose name is Tina. Ironically, Tina was the dog that was found trapped in a dumpster and, after Scott removed her, led him to her two week old pups, just as Dina's mom (Debbie) did. But the similarities go much further than that, her physical appearance and great personality are also very much inline with those of Scott's dog. Whoever adopts Dina will, undoubtedly, gain a very, very great companion.

As of March 24, Dina will have received 2/3 of her first year "puppy" vaccines and been de-wormed at proper intervals. Her adopter must agree to having Dina spay once she reaches 6 months of age and provide verification of such to our rescue. Dina will require all of her basic training.

**As mentioned, Dina had been infected with Parvo and treated at SoCo Rescue. She'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.
