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.

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 Davey

***Davey is currently located at our rescue in Georgia. With an approved application, he can be transported to New Jersey for adoption. An application for Davey's adoption should be submitted at socorescue.com (no need to register or login). Questions about Davey and/or our adoption process should be sent to [email protected]; please do not call the rescue's number.*** In August 2024, Davey was found as a stray by man who was in Georgia doing some remodeling work on a house. Davey was very thin, only weighing 40 lbs at the time when he should have weighed 80 lbs. He was also infested with fleas and ticks, which had him very anemic and full of worms. Davey also barely missed being killed after someone shot at his head, but the bullet pieced his ear instead. Davey was also very high-positive with heartworms. It took  almost a full year for Davey to regain his health so he could be treated for his heartworms, which he is now free of them, but he still has the hole in his ear flap, a stark reminder of just how close he came to being killed.  Through his journey to recovery, Davey has remained a very friendly dog. He simply loves every person he's met during his time with us, and also responds very well to basic commands such as "sit" and will even offer his paw when asked to "shake". He's also crate trained and appears to also have some house training. Davey has interacted with other dogs but has also shown some aggression towards some larger dogs. We're not sure how he'll do in a home with other dogs, so it may be best to consider him as an only dog until he can be fully assessed. We do not think he'll do well around cats. But this big fellow is nothing more than mush when it comes to interacting with people and he simply wants to be your friend. While he walks well on a leash, he is very strong. We've noticed that Davey becomes excited around raised voices and would do best in a balanced home without a lot of commotion. Regardless, anyone looking for a large Bulldog, Davey is an ideal candidate as their next best friend. Davey has been kept up-to-date on his vaccinations, de-wormings and monthly preventative care since his arrival. As stated, he was treated for his heartowrms and has also been neutered. He may need a refresher course once in a new home.
