Adoption Process
Scroll to bottom of page for adoptable animals!
(last updated 09/24/23)
First and foremost, THANK YOU for deciding to adopt an animal in need! You are saving a life when doing so. The adoption process is as follows:
If you see a pet you are interested and have any questions before submitting an application, reach out to us either through social media or email. You can find our contact information on our contact page. You can also find links to our social media pages on our get involved page.
If you have decided you want to put in an application for the pet you are interested in, please click the button under the image to the right that will lead you to our online adoption application. Once your application has been completed and submitted, it will take a few days to be processed. We will reach out to you about the approval of your application. Please know that as some pets receive multiple applications, we go with what we think the best match is for that animal, and where we think they will have the most success. We will try our best to notify you if the pet you are interested in has been adopted.
Once your application has been approved, we will arrange either a home visit in person, or virtually. We can go over any questions about the process then as well. If all looks good, we will set up a meet and greet to meet the pet you are interested in and finish the adoption process!
(Since our rescue operates out of the Charleston and Charlotte areas, we have listed each animal's location at the bottom of their profile. Our rescues do not have to be adopted in the city they are fostered in).
Adoptable Pets
Lulu
Lulu is a Catahoula mix and is approximately 2 years old. She is just under 40 pounds. She was surrendered into a shelter in her current condition. Although she is partially paralyzed after some kind of horrendous accident, she loves life and has so much to offer. Lulu is spayed, up to date on all vaccines and preventions, and microchipped.
When Lulu came into our rescue, she hardly had any muscle along her spine. She also had sores from where she had dragged herself for so long. We got Lulu into the rescue and immediately got her a wheelchair and other necessary supplies for her to live more comfortably.
Lulu has completed a combination of acupuncture, laser therapy, and physical therapy, which has shown us that she has more control over her back legs than we thought. She is able to walk a few steps from time to time, but loves to get into her wheelchair for adventures.
Aside from her special abled needs, Lulu is the perfect dog! She is great with all dogs, cats, small critters, and children. She loves everyone she meets. Lulu enjoys car rides, breweries, going for walks, and playing fetch or tug of war.
Lulu's ideal home is one with experience caring for a dog like her, or one willing to learn. She also needs a home that is financially capable of taking on multiple vet visits a year which include quarterly testing for UTIs, accupuncture and laser treatments, and she would also benefit from continued physical therapy. Lulu will be adopted with all of her supplies, and her foster mom is willing to be a forever ally for any needs/pet sitting in Lulu's future.
(Lulu is located in Charleston, SC).
ROCKY
Rocky is a lab/terrier mix and is approximately 2 years old. He is fully vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on preventions. Rocky found himself in the shelter and was terrified. He is a soft, calm boy who was very nervous in the loud shelter environment. After waiting for a very long time, he finally got his freedom when a foster opened their home to him. Getting Rocky into a foster home has allowed him to work on gaining confidence, and learn how to live in a home like a normal dog. He is still shy, but does great with the companionship of other dogs and a loving human.
Rocky's ideal home would be with a family who is loving, patient, and kind. He would love to have another dog in the home he can continue building confidence with and learning from. He is potty and crate trained. If you would like to learn more about this incredibly sweet boy, please reach out to the rescue through email: BridgeBetweenAnimalRescue@gmail.com
Approved applications are required for meet and greets.
(Rocky is located in Pineville, NC).
ROXI(pending)
Roxi is an adorable senior poodle mix. We think she's about 10 years old. She came to us from Charlotte's animal shelter, sadly Heartworm positive. Roxi has now finished her Heartworm treatment, and she is ready to find her forever home!
Roxi is a small girl at about 15 pounds. She has done wonderful in her foster home. She doesn't currently use the crate, but would be fine adjusting to one if needed. She goes on frequent potty breaks/walks and has no accidents, and will whine when she needs to potty. Her foster mom said she walks really well on the leash! Roxi loves love, and is said to be the sweetest pup her foster mom has had. She is a calm girl with a very loving personality.
Roxi does need to have some dental work done, however, our vet prefers to wait at least 6-9 months after Heartworm treament has been completed so that there are less risks with anesthesia. This will be a procedure our rescue can cover cost wise when she is ready to have it done.
(Roxi is currently located in Marvin NC).
Evie
Evie is an adorable hound mix pup. She is approximately 6 months old and about 30 pounds. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations and preventions. Here’s what Evie’s foster mom has to say about her:
Evie LOVES toys and bones! She will throw them up in the air with excitement! She is mastering crate training and mostly potty trained with the occasional accident. Evie really likes to play with other dogs. Her favorite game to play with her foster siblings is chase! She likes to be the one in pursuit . Evie does have some puppy energy but settles in nicely for bedtime. We aren’t sure of Evie’s past, but it is clear she spent some time out on her own. Evie does need some reassurance from her human, being in a home is still new and can be scary to her. She can be a bit skittish at first and loud noises sometimes scare her, but she warms up very quickly and gladly soaks up all of your attention!
Cricket
Cricket is a young male lab/terrier mix. We believe he is between 1-2 years old, and he is about 45 pounds. He still has that young/playful puppy energy, and is a very happy boy!
Cricket was one of the longest residents of the shelter he came from, and we can't figure out why. He is not only stunningly beautiful with eyes and a smile that light up the room, but he loves other dogs and people. Although he enjoys playing with other dogs and humans, he will also melt into your lap for snuggles and pets.
Cricket's ideal home is one that will meet his exercise needs whether that be going for walks, playing in the backyard, or playing with a dog sibling. Cricket is potty and crate trained, leash trained, (although he is strong on the leash), and he is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations and preventions.
(Cricket is located in the Charlotte NC area)
lincoln
Lincoln is a soft coated pittie mix and he is always wearing a smile! This happy boy is estimated to be about 1-2 years old, and he is about 52 pounds. Lincoln is neutered, up to date on vaccines and preventions, and is microchipped.
At the shelter, Lincoln was used to "dog test" due to his submissive demeanor and liking towards other dogs. He still very much acts like a puppy when interacting with other dogs. He also tested well with cats at the shelter, but has not had exposure since then. He has been in a foster home by himself and done really well, but loves when he gets to have play dates with other dogs. Because of Lincoln's age and breed, he has a moderate to high energy level. He not only loves to run and play in the yard, but he loves brain games as well.
Lincoln is crate and potty trained, and is currently fostered in a home with foster parents who are gone 8-5 every week day. He does great being left at home, but makes sure to get as many snuggles as he can when his foster parents are near! Lincoln would due best with an active adopter.
(Lincoln is located just outside of Charlotte in Rockwell NC).
Everly
If you're looking for a new friend with the best ears in town, Everly is your girl! This sweet girl is approximately 6-8 months old, and was born as a stray with her siblings. They were all safely captured after watching them roam for months, and have since landed in foster homes. We believe they are some type of shepherd/hound mix, but that is just our best guess. Everly is currently about 35 pounds, and likely won't be bigger than 40-45. She is already spayed, up to date on vaccines and preventions, and microchipped.
Here is what her foster mom has to say about her: "Everly is a bundle of joy ready to light up your life. Despite a challenging start, she's a resilient spirit who's a bit shy around new faces, however, Everly's heart opens up swiftly when in the company of fur siblings. With boundless puppy energy, she's on a journey to discover the joys life has to offer. Everly is the perfect addition to your home, a loving companion just waiting for a chance to shine with you. She is crate trained, and has done really well with potty training and leash training".
Everly's ideal home will have another dog in it to continue to show her the ropes. She feels more confident with a fur sibling. She is very dog friendly, but has not been tested with cats or kids.
BAMA
Bama and his siblings were pulled from a rural shelter in South Carolina where they had spent many weeks. They have all done fabulous in foster care, and are ready to be adopted!
Bama is about 5 months old. We believe he is an Australian shepherd and possible collie mix, (just our best guess). Some of the puppies had docked tails, but Bama's is long and beautiful with an adorable white tip! He is the biggest of the bunch and is currently about 25 pounds. We think he will max out around 50 pounds when full grown. This big boy is a lover though! He wants to snuggle with his people. He is more snuggly than his siblings. He prefers to be curled up beside his people when he isn't playing with the other dogs or chewing on a bone.
Bama has done fantastic with training. He doesn't have any accidents, goes to his kennel like a good boy, and sleeps through both the night time and through the time his foster is at work. His leash skills still need some work, but only because he had never used a leash before coming into foster care. He is a quick learner though!
Bama has been very dog friendly with his foster siblings. He loves all people. He has not been exposed to cats or kids. We can cat test upon request. Bama has one round of puppy shots left and his neuter surgery when age appropriate, however, he can be adopted now as long as his adopters get him to his final appointment.
(Bama is located in Charleston, SC)
baylor
Baylor and her siblings were pulled from a rural shelter in South Carolina where they had spent many weeks. They have all done fabulous in foster care, and are ready to be adopted!
Baylor is about 5 months old. We believe she is an Australian shepherd and possible collie mix, (just our best guess). She has an adorable partially docked tail! Baylor is currently about 20 pounds, and we think she will max out around 45-50 pounds when full grown.
Baylor has done fantastic in her foster home! She has learned so many things like potty training, crate training, and leash walking. She has already mastered adventures with her foster fam, and would make a great adventure buddy!
Baylor has been very dog friendly with her foster siblings. She has loved all people. She has not been exposed to cats or kids. Baylor has one round of puppy shots left and her spay surgery when age appropriate, however, she can be adopted now as long as her adopters get her to the final appointments.

Lucy
Lucy is approx 2-4 years old and is believed to be a lab mix. She was found on the side of the road with her puppy, and turned into a rural animal shelter. She is what we call an "old soul" and seems like she's been through a lot in her short life. Lucy is in great health other than sadly being heart worm positive, so she must undergo treatment.
We are still learning more about her since she is very new, but so far Lucy is VERY laid back, and has settled into foster care quite well. She is very calm and gentle, and likes to follow her people around while always wagging her tail. We can tell she just wants to feel safe. After slow introductions to new dogs, she is great around them and wants to play. She is VERY good with the cat in her current foster home. She has done extremely well with crate and potty training.
(Lucy is located in Charlotte, NC).

eMilia(coming soon)
This girl is as beautiful on the inside as she is out. Emilia got a rough start to life due to being born as a stray. She and her siblings spent the first almost 6 months out on the run. Thankfully after they were captured, they all were lucky enough to make it to foster homes where they have been able to learn how to be domesticated dogs.
Emilia is approximately 35 pounds, and will likely max out around 40-45 pounds. We believe she is a shepherd hound mix, but that is just our best guess. Emilia has already been spayed, is up to date on vaccinations and preventions, and is microchipped.
Notes from Emilia's foster home: "Emilia was pretty shy at first, but it didn't take long for her to come out of her shell! She loves having other dog(s) around, so I think it's a must for her to have a doggy sibling in her forever home. They really help her build her confidence and show her the ropes. Emilia is very playful, and loves to play with her paws like a boxer. She may be too playful for young children. Emilia is crate trained, and hasn't had an accident since the early days of foster care. She is still building confidence on the leash, but has made tremendous progress. She loves toys, and has slowly learned to come closer for pets and kisses. She has a beautiful soul, and would make someone or a family a great companion!"
(Emilia is located in Charleston SC).
