Initially the team found seven puppies but the owner refused to give up one pup. After the team members told Scott Bennett about the owner keeping one pup and their mom, he went to the home to try and convince the owner to also release the other pup. When he arrived at the home, Scott not only found the remaining pup, but also discovered a ninth pup which looked rather sickly and met their mom.  The pups were allowed to roam freely around the property, which was covered with trash and other debris. The owner told Scott that she didn't really know how many puppies there were and indicated that one or two others may have died. Scott then met the mom of the pups, who was hooked to a chain and living with no real shelter. There was a very small water bowl that was empty and turned over and the mom was sleeping on the ground which was also littered with trash. Scott was able to convince the owner to surrender the other two pups, bringing the total to nine puppies, and the mom dog. All of the pups were covered in filth, infested with fleas and had bellies that were swollen by worms. Unfortunately, within a couple of days, the pups all began to get very sick. While Scott and the SoCo team worked very hard to get the pups healthy, six of the nine passed away. Tyler, who was the only pup among the litter not to get sick, and two of his siblings were the only ones to survive their horrid ordeal. Tyler is the largest among the litter, which may have played a part in him not getting sick. He's also got a big personality, full of spunk, energy and lots of love. He will make a great companion for a family, even one with children, as he simply loves being around people While he received his first year "puppy" vaccinations and de-wormings, our vet did detect a trace of hook and round worms when given his recent fecal/parasite test. This is not uncommon when puppies are highly infested with worms and the additional de-wormer which was given to Tyler should clear him of all of the worms. Your vet can advise you on how to keep Tyler free and clear of any worms in the future. Tyler's adopter must agree to having him neutered at 6 months of age and provide verification of such to our rescue. If you'd like to give Tyler the loving home that he so deserves, please submit an application by clicking on the following link:https://www.socorescue.com/forms/form?formid=1628 **A picture of Tyler's mom is included.
