FOSTER UPDATE: We have been fostering Tracker for one week now and he is such a delight! Over the last few days he started revealing his playful side and boy is he silly! We can wind him up and he gets so excited he runs in circles. He is 100% housebroken, does not care for cats (he steers clear) and has decided the vacuum is the ultimate enemy. Besides that, he adapts to almost anything, and is the biggest lover you'll find. For a beagle mix we were surprised to find how quiet he is. Not a barker or whiner at all. Tracker loves the car and going for walks but is also perfectly content sitting in his bed as long as his people are near.
Tracker escaped death and found as a stray roaming the streets this beautiful golden haired boy was rescued by the Winnsboro Dog Pound and he just has the best personality ever. Anybody that meets Tracker will tell you, "Be careful, his favorite thing to do is sit in your lap and turn over and have his belly scratched.", then he will do that thing that we all love—smile at you. We've never met a dog who would be more content with that than eating or running -- though, our boy does enjoy his romping and playing and long leisurely strolls where he can be the center of your world.
Tracker is so incredibly sweet and loving that he'd prefer a kind caress over all else -- even food! Like most of us in life, he just wants love! If you want a dog that is comical and entertaining, loyal to his family, needs only moderate exercise, makes a keen watchdog, is good with other family pets, is curious, lively, charming, and brave, then Tracker has it all. He has a comical personality and loves to play games along with a great sense of humor. He is a loyal little dog, very attached to his family, and he firmly believes that sleeping under the bedcovers is in his “Bill of Rights”.
Tracker is good with children and a great house dog. Like all dogs, he needs his daily walk. He does love his human companionship and will do well with a family that works from home or is home a lot. In time, he will adjust but it is new for him to be with humans that treat him with love and good food.
Tracker would surely have died a slow and painful death if he was not picked up that day because he is HW+. He is being treated and will be healthy and ready for his new home in mid January. A dog gets Heartworms only by the bite of an infected mosquito. There’s no other way dogs get heartworms. And there’s no way to tell if a mosquito is infected. That’s why prevention is so important.
It takes about seven months, once a dog is bitten by an infected mosquito, for the larvae to mature into adult heartworms. They then lodge in the heart, lungs, and surrounding blood vessels and begin reproducing. Once heartworms are treated, they don’t come back and dogs live a normal life and are completely cured.
Tracker has a very long life expectancy and that is one of the most desirable qualities about this special dog. His extraordinary character makes him a preferred choice for both families and single dwellers because he will provide many years of loyal companionship. If you are looking for a best friend who will want to be with you all the time, lovingly and adoringly and can show you instantly how much that attention from you means, don’t wait long, apply for him today.

About Our Rescue
These dogs deserve all of our attention, and in Rescue Dog Village, we are committed to our adopters and our dogs equally. We offer full disclosure and hope to make the best matches possible. Please know our adoption fees never cover our expenses. We rely on the generosity of our adopters and supporters to help us help the dogs.
Our rescue is ONLY in the business of offering FULL DISCLOSURE to adopters, and expects and hopes to engage your questions and concerns fully. We owe it to the dogs we rescue and all the wonderful families/adopters who might consider welcoming our charges into their hearts and home. Our dogs are waiting for that ideal forever home where they will be cherished as deserving family members. It's sad these second chances are even necessary for these dogs, but we are committed to them and will devote the time and energy to their rehoming, and not just MOVE them to save more dogs. We diligently and responsibly seek good matches as we don't want to re-home the dog again. These animals have already endured more than they should have, and through no fault of their own. It behooves us to be honest and forthright, and we appreciate the same in return from applicants. It's that winning combination of reciprocal trust and respect that allows for successful placements to be made. Happy adopters translate to happy dogs, and that's our goal!
Our rescue volunteers will be more than honored to be in touch with you directly and promptly, after receiving your application and conducting a mandatory a veterinarian check. If you have never owned a dog before, please submit your application regardless, and we will be in touch with you as soon as possible. TAKE NOTE YOU SHOULD CHECK YOUR SPAM AS SOME RESPONSES FROM US WIND UP THERE WE'VE DISCOVERED. Also, take care to contact your veterinarian to let them know a member of rescue will be inquiring about your pet history!
Thank you for respecting that we all donate our time to saving these animals, and understand we value your philanthropic and compassionate desire to help be part of the rescue team. That said, you'll understand why we are committed to the well-being of our charges and consider this veterinarian check mandatory. If you are a first-time dog owner, we will work with you every step of the way! ADVOCACY AND EDUCATION ARE AS MUCH A PART OF RESPONSIBLE RESCUE AS ADOPTION! And it takes a RESCUE VILLAGE to help the most dogs possible in a thorough manner to ensure success on all fronts, and then some! It is an awful feeling to fail a dog, and we can't continue rescue if we don't do everything we can to ensure good matches for the dogs and tender families who might adopt them. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.
Although we are an extremely small rescue group, we understand and respect your family's eagerness to be in touch and learn as much as you can about the dogs you are considering adopting. Our very experienced and devoted trainer will be happy to share all aspects of OUR RESCUE DOGS to determine compatibility once you've submitted your application, and another of our volunteers will explain the whole process of our rescue and answer any questions you might have as well
