Hi, I'm SoSo, a wise soul with a heart full of love. My days are spent charming everyone I meet with my sweet, friendly nature. I'm a gentle companion, always ready to lend a paw or a comforting presence. I've been told I'm smart too! I'm quite the whiz at fetching, you see. It's my favorite game! I love the thrill of the chase, the joy of returning the ball, and the happiness it brings to people. I'm a friend to all, whether they walk on two legs or four. I'm looking for a forever home where I can share my love, loyalty, and playful spirit. Adopting me means gaining a faithful friend who'll always be by your side, ready to fetch, cuddle, or simply sit in companionable silence. Will you be my forever friend?

Medical Note:  This dog is being treated/has been treated for heartworm disease.  Untreated heartworm disease can cause lasting damage to the heart, lungs and arteries, and can affect the dog’s health and quality of life even after the parasites are gone, possibly presenting as medical complications and/or new conditions in the future.  Whenever possible, SOSARL advocates for following the American Heartworm Society guidelines for heartworm disease treatment as the safest and most effective methods; the active portion of this treatment protocol can take up to four months to complete.  Once treatment is completed and the dog tests negative for microfilaria, the dog will be cleared to resume normal activity and will be ready to travel north and be placed into an adoptive home.  This dog showed no symptoms of heartworm disease before or during treatment, and is expected to complete treatment with no complications.  Please ask your Adoption Counselor for the specific treatment protocol used for and current status of this dog.  Please check with your vet if you have any questions or concerns about this medical history.  

An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see  HERE  for more information about this.

**Additional info you should know - For most of our dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.
