Here's what the humans have to say about me:
🐾 Meet Socko – A Gentle Soul Searching for His Soft Place to Land 💙
Socko’s story is one of love, loss, and second chances. He was deeply loved by his person — but when life took a hard turn, his owner could no longer give him the home he deserved. There was no safe place for Socko to stay, so now he’s with us, waiting for a new beginning.
Socko is a small pitty baby with a big heart. He’s sweet, affectionate, and wants nothing more than to be loved again. He knows what love feels like — now he just needs a soft spot to rest his head and someone to believe in him.
Like many dogs in a stressful shelter environment, Socko does resource guard his food, but we understand that behavior often comes from anxiety and uncertainty. With patience, structure, and a calm home, he’ll have the chance to feel safe and relax again.
Socko has had all his vetting. He gravitates towards men and can be reactive to women. He will need someone who understands his trauma and is willing to work with him.
🏡 Ideal home:
☑️A calm, stable environment
☑️No young kids (just to help with managing feeding routines)
☑️Someone who understands that love and trust take time
Could you be the one to give Socko the future he deserves?

More about this rescue
The mission of Castoff Pet Rescue is to save and nurture homeless dogs; to match companion animals with loving, life-long homes; to foster responsible pet care; to control overpopulation in our community through spay/neuter programs; and to assist other shelters and rescue groups in any endeavor to benefit the animals. We believe that the same kindness, compassion, and generosity we extend to our two-legged neighbors should be given to our four-legged friends because they are not able to speak for themselves.
