Basset Hound / Mixed (short coat) : : Male (neutered) : : Baby : : Medium Learn more about the Basset Hound.
Age: 2 Months (as of 8/28/2020)
Weight: 8.5 lbs (as of 8/26/2020) This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Lollipop, lollipop, ooo-lolli-lollipop, lollipop! Nothing sweeter than a lollipop - unless it's a Lollipop puppy!!! These little guys are the absolute in adorable! However they are just young puppies and so have no training whatsoever which means as an adopting hooman, you will need tons of patience, time and a total commitment to training! There are no shortcuts - puppies are a lot of work. Your reward is a phenomenal canine partner who'll want to be in on every adventure you go on. That's pretty sweet in itself!
So...Wookie is currently the next biggest bro of the four pups. He's mostly white with pretty red merle markings. He's your typical puppy who loves to play, loves toys, loves to cuddle, loves to chew on stuff and jump up; he's a bit shy with new people and situations, but that doesn't last long! He's good with his brothers and has no issues with kitties. He has not been introduced to children yet.
Looking to add some sweetness to your life? Fill out an application today for Wookie or one of his brothers and an Adoption Counselor will get back to you!
Lollipop pups' story: These puppies were born under a shed. The woman who found them pulled them out, took them home and when they were weaned, contacted our Arkansas rescue partner for help in finding them good homes - she didn't want to just give them away, not knowing if they'd be well-cared for.
Medical Note: A littermate of this dog tested positive and was treated for demodectic mange while in the SOS program. This dog has also been preventatively treated and currently shows no symptoms of demodectic mange. Please note that demodex can have a hereditary component and/or flare up in any dog in times of stress (e.g., transport, transition to a new home, change in food, etc.). As such, the adopter is advised to discuss this condition and best next steps with their veterinarian. SOS recommends that dogs with a personal or family history of demodectic mange be kept on regular NexGard or Bravecto for flea/tick prevention for at least 3 months after adoption or until 18 months of age. Please see here for more information on demodectic mange: http://www.vcahospitals.com/main/pet-health-information/article/animal-health/mange-demodectic-in-dogs/741. Please check with your vet if you should have any questions or concerns about this condition, and discuss any concerns you may have with your SOS Adoption Counselor.
