Superman

***Superman is currently located at our rescue in Georgia. He is scheduled to attend our upcoming adoption event in Ringoes, NJ over the April 18-19 weekend. An application for his adoption can be submitted at socorescue.com (no need to register or login). Questions about Superman and/or our adoption policy should be sent to [email protected]; please do not call the Rescue's number.***

Superman and his two sisters were found as strays and given temporary housing by a local family. Within a week of being at that home, Superman became deathly sick and tested positive for Parvo. Despite not having any space to house him, Scott Bennett managed to get him into SoCo in an attempt to save his life. At first, Scott gave very little hope that this pup would survive. During his course of treatments to combat the Parvo, Scott kept telling the pup that he survived, he would be Superman, which is how he gained his name. While he did make a miraculous recovery, unfortunately both of his sisters also became sick from the deadly virus with one of them passing away before we could help them; the other sister (Marvel) somehow managed to survive and is also now at our rescue.

In addition to having a strong will to live, Superman is also extremely friendly, very affectionate and well socialized towards people and other pups. His wonderful personality makes him a great candidate for anyone looking to add a dog to their home, even if he would be someone's first dog.

Prior to his adoption, Superman will have received all three of his first year "puppy" vaccines, been de-wormed and treated against parasites at proper intervals. He's already been started on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives as well. His adopter must agree to having Superman neutered once he reaches 6 months of age and provide verification of such to SoCo. Superman will require all of his basic training.

(According to the American Veterinarian's Association, any dog or puppy that overcomes Parvo will then most likely be immune to the virus. Regardless, such dogs/puppies should still be kept up to date on their annual vaccinations. Please speak with your vet concerning proper vaccinations.)
