Meet Socks — an adorable 6-month-old Whippet mix boy with the sweetest soul. This sensitive little puppy was rescued after being cruelly abandoned on the street and thankfully brought to safety by a kind rescuer. Despite his difficult start in life, Socks is gentle, loving, and affectionate — he simply wants to feel safe and loved. Socks can be shy at first and will need a patient adopter committed to helping him build confidence through positive reinforcement training, puppy obedience classes, and proper socialization. Once he feels comfortable, his sweet personality truly shines. He would do best in a calm, loving home with people who understand that shy puppies need time, patience, and encouragement to blossom. With love and consistency, Socks has all the potential to become an amazing lifelong companion. We would love to bring him in June if we can secure a committed adopter or foster-to-adopt home for him. Socks is: -Neutered -Microchipped -Up to date on vaccinations -Heartworm negative -Dewormed -On flea, tick, and heartworm prevention -Crate trained; Potty training has begun, and continued crate training will help reinforce good habits and routine If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion and want to help a deserving puppy grow into a confident, happy dog, Socks may be your perfect match.
