Southern Comfort Animal Rescue

Southern Comfort Animal Rescue, Inc. is 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization that rescues and rehomes abused, unwanted and abandoned companion animals.Southern Comfort was founded in 2001 in Savannah, Georgia, to provide shelter and find temporary foster or permanent homes for pets left behind when troops in nearby Ft. Stewart's 3rd Infantry Division shipped out to Iraq and Afghanistan.In 2006, the organization moved to Glenwood, Georgia. Southern Comfort fills a critical need in Wheeler County, which has no other rescues or animal control.We specialize in physical, social and emotional rehabilitation of our rescues. All animals are examined, vaccinated, spayed or neutered and receive any and all medical treatment before being placed in carefully screened forever homes.Southern Comfort is a "no-kill" rescue and only euthanizes in cases of irremediable suffering or vicious and dangerous animals.We also work to raise public awareness of the plight of homeless animals and promote the benefits of adopting an animal in need through community outreach and education.

Meet Maggie

***Maggie is currently at our rescue in Georgia and available for adoption out of state provided transportation and certain other requirements are met. An application for Maggie's adoption can be submitted at socorescue.com (No need to register or login). Questions about Maggie and/or our adoption policy should be sent to [email protected]; please do not call the rescue's phone number.*** Maggie was at a small, city animal control facility when Scott Bennett first saw her. Scott had been at the shelter to rescue a mom dog and her puppies who were scheduled to be euthanized. While Maggie would have been the only dog at the shelter after Scott left with the mom and pups, the city's strict 5-day hold policy meant that she would loose her life if no one came for her within the next 24 hours. While visiting with Maggie, who had been impounded as a stray, Scott sensed that she was pregnant, even though she didn't exhibit a swollen belly or other tell-tale signs that she was expecting. Scott took Maggie home with him that day and within two months discovered that his hunch was right after Maggie delivered TEN beautiful puppies!  Maggie has always displayed a very gentle, affectionate and calm personality. She's instantly friends with everyone she meets, including other dogs, and doesn't seem to have anything but love to give. She will make an excellent choice for a family looking for a dog they can trust around their children and one who'll instantly become a beloved and cherished family member. Maggie has been spayed, kept up to date on her annual vaccines, de-wormings and preventative care since arriving at SoCo Rescue. She did recently test positive for heartworms and is currently undergoing her treatments and should be ready to go to her new home in late Dec. 2024. She has shown to have some house training experience but may need a refresher course once in her new home.  ***We would greatly welcome a foster home that would allow Maggie a quiet, peaceful place to stay while she undergoes her heartworm treatment, which is approx. 90 days. SoCo Rescue will supply all of her needs. Contact us at [email protected] if interested in fostering Maggie.***
