Yeller (pending!)
Yeller is a beautiful young adult lab mix who is approximately 50 pounds. He came to our in December 2023 from a rural shelter. He was found as a feral stray. Yeller was completely shut down and did not let humans touch him, although he has never shown aggression, just fear. We learned that he was caught as a stray with a catch pole, and we believe the experience really traumatized him. He is a special dog and we know it will take a dedicated family to adopt him. He still doesn't loven human touch and is not able to be leashed, but he is a great dog and would love a home where can enjoy the rest of his days and slowly bond with his forever humans. Here are some notes from his foster mom:
"In his foster home Yeller lives with an abundance of different types of dogs and he gets along with everyone. In fact, Yeller is required to go to a home with at least one other dog, as another dog helps him build his confidence.
Yeller is fully potty trained, crate trained, and is very well behaved. He loves to lay on the couch, in a dog bed, or even sleep in his crate. He is trained to go to his crate for his meals, and he loves that. He does not walk on a leash due to his fear, so a fenced yard is required. A secure fence (one that is not easy to jump) is required.
Although Yeller doesn't love touch and we haven't gotten a collar on him, he does enjoy human connection, sitting on the couch a few feet from you while you watch tv, or following you room to room, but from a distance. It's a relationship with a dog who just wants to social distance at all times, but occasionally he'll surprise you by "booping" you. He is an incredible dog, and I do believe that he will flourish one day, he just takes a lot of time to get used to you. He does enjoy taking treats from your hands and I have successfully touched his feet. We think that Yeller is just so comfortable in his current foster home that he isn't going to push himself further, but in a forever home, he will be forced to "start over" and we think that is when he is going to really bond with his humans.
He is the perfect dog for someone who just wants a calm companion at home. He won't be your dog park dog or your restaurant dog, but he'll definitely be a sweet, calm companion that is still so deserving of a loving home and family."
Yeller is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and up to date on prevention. He completed heartwrom treatment and is now negative.
(Yeller is located in Charleston SC).

Parka (two years in rescue!)
Adoptable Parka! Parka is a middle aged mixed breed dog. She is full grown at 44 pounds and is short and stocky.
This is a special adoption profile, because Parka is a special dog. Please read her whole story. Her story is one of the saddest. She was almost euthanized for being "reactive" at the shelter. They kept giving her extensions because there were so many people rooting for her. Parka finally made it out thanks to the angels who offered to foster. The biggest surprise happened when she made it out of the shelter. Her foster woke up to PUPPIES. Suddenly it all made sense while Parka was "reactive" at the shelter. She was pregnant, approaching labor. Sadly the shelter did not realize that Parka was pregnant due to thinking her sagging teets were from past litters. She received her vaccines at the shelter which caused complications for the puppies, and only one survived. Now you can see why we said Parka's story is one of the saddest. She was still such a great mom and did an amazing job raising her puppy. He has since been adopted.
Her sad story doesn't end there. After completing heartworm treatment, it was time for Parka to get spayed. During her spay, the doctors found two mammary tumors. We chose to do biopsies, and we found that one was benign, but the other was cancerous. Thankfully with it being removed, it could not spread, and Parka does not have cancer.
Parka has really blossomed in her foster home, but it's going to take a special person/family to be her forever home. She is actually very dog friendly and really thrives with the company of another dog, so another dog in her forever home is required. When Parka gets nervous because of new smells/loud noises, etc., the dog in her foster home helps her calm down and shows her how to be confident. Parka really loves her foster mom, and is still a little shy around men and strangers. Parka is really great in the house and is crate and potty trained. She can go on the leash for potty time, but is still nervous on walks.
This sweet girl has been through so much. She deserves a calm, loving, peaceful home that will give her love and safety for the remainder of her days. Adopters who are gentle, patient, and loving are essential. She is fully vetted and in great health now, with a lot of life left to live.
(Parka is located in Fort Mill, SC).

Kela
Kela is a sweet, easy-going girl who is just looking for the perfect spot to curl up and relax. This lovable couch potato is a gentle giant who enjoys the simpler things in life, like naps, belly rubs, and the occasional treat. While she might not win any marathons, she's the ideal companion for someone who loves quiet moments and cozy days in.
Kela came into the rescue massively overweight at 146 lbs. She has been on a weight loss journey since then. She has dropped down to 103 lbs while with us! Kela is calm, affectionate, and has a heart of gold. She’s a big fan of snuggling on the couch and basking in the love of her people. But don’t let her relaxed nature fool you—Kela is also up for adventures! She loves going on car rides, walking around the neighborhood, and having her own little outdoor adventures. She especially loves to be pet by the neighbors when she is out for her daily walks. Kela expects her walks after dinner and will follow you around until she gets them. Whether it’s a walk or just rolling down the windows for a breeze on a car ride, she’s always ready to share the experience with you. She is a dog that loves to be around her people. Kela does have a sassy side with a big princess personality mixed in there with a very lazy girl.
What Kela Needs:
- A home where she can be the only dog or live with a calm, quiet dog. Kela thrives in peaceful environments and prefers a laid-back lifestyle. She is currently fostered in a home with many other dogs but prefers the calm, older ones. She does warm up to new dogs and does very well with puppies (surprisingly)!
- A comfy couch to crash on after a day of fun and adventures.
- A family or individual who loves to spend time with her, whether it’s taking her on car rides, going for walks, or simply relaxing together.
What Kela Loves:
- Napping and getting cozy (she loves to lay her head in your lap)
Sunbathing (she likes to roll on her back and put her belly up to the sun)
- Car rides (she’s always up for a little adventure)
- Daily walks (she ADORES her walks and enjoy the sights and smells)
- Spending time with her people—she’s the most affectionate, loyal companion
- Occasional treats and snacks to make her day even better
Kela is the perfect mix of calm and curious, and she’s ready for a forever home that appreciates both her chill side and her love for little outings. If you’re looking for a sweet, easy-going dog who loves her people and enjoys both cozy days in and adventures, Kela is your girl. She will need to be walked daily to continue her weight loss; she especially looks forward to (and expects!) her daily walks after dinner. She is full potty trained and is not destructive at all when left out while gone. Kela has been waiting a long time for this moment, and she is officially ready to find her forever home with her forever people!
Kela’s heartworm treatment has been completed. Kela is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations and prevention.

Maxwell
Hi, I’m Maxwell. Most people call me Max or Maxy though, and my foster family has nicknamed me Goob (short for Goober). I was almost euthanized in the shelter because I wasn’t feeling great and wouldn’t walk, but then the nice girls at BBAR found a foster for me and gave me a second chance. At first they thought I was a hospice foster and only had a few months to live - boy did I show them they were wrong! I went through some testing and it was confirmed that I do have hepatozoonosis (a super rare tick-borne disease) - unfortunately I’ll have it the rest of my life, and over time it will break down my body. But that doesn’t stop me from living! With a simple pain medicine regime, joint supplement food, and a patient & loving foster family that keeps me active at my pace - I actually went into remission! I feel great most days and enjoy being active, but do have an occasional flare up that makes me a little stiff & achy.
I LOVE kids & ‘my people’ - I’ve learned to LOVE walkies - I LOVE a snuggly couch with blankets - and who wouldn’t LOVE treats?! I know how to sit, give paw, come when called, and go in my crate when it’s time. I’m super smart, super sweet, super goofy, and a super good boy. Oh, and I’m potty trained! My mom says that I’m “dog friendly” with the right dog. I wouldn’t do well in a dog park (too overwhelming & scary), but I do really like to say hi to new friends on walks. I’d need a little bit of patience & time to feel safe in a home with another dog. My foster brother is submissive, chill & respects my boundaries when I’m not feeling well or just don’t want to play - and we get along GREAT (he’s my BFF ).
I am fully vetted, AKA I've had my yearly vaccines, monthly prevention, and have been neutered and microchipped. I also completed my heartworm treatment. If you’re looking for a goofy, smiley dog that’s low maintenance and enjoys slow walks, thrives on couch snuggles, loves his person, and is an all-around good boy - we might be a good match.

Beth
Meet Beth!
Beth is a beautiful, 4-5-year-old pup weighing in at 45 lbs. She’s the perfect medium-sized best friend—and she’s already been through more than most.
Beth came into the shelter with her jaw torn open and covered in scars. It was clear she had survived something awful, but even in pain, she was gentle, loving, and sweet to everyone she met. Thankfully, she healed up beautifully, and today you’d never know her rough start unless we told you.
Beth is now fully vetted, healthy, and ready for adoption! She’s currently in a foster home in Charleston, SC, where she lives peacefully with other dogs, cats, and even pigs. She’s incredibly well-behaved, affectionate, and loves being part of the pack—human or animal.
Out in public, Beth is a total star. Whether it's a walk downtown or a patio lunch, people are always drawn to her. She has this calm, wise energy that makes people gravitate toward her like they’ve known her forever. She’s one of those old souls that just gets you.
Beth is past the chaos of puppyhood but still has plenty of playful, loving energy to share. She’s house-trained, social, and absolutely ready to give someone her whole heart. Her ideal day consists of a walk outside then snoozing on the couch.
Beth would be a perfect dog for any home. She is great alone or with other dogs, great in a home or an apartment, great out in public, not destructive at home, and has a great calm energy with a playful side, too.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion with depth, warmth, and resilience, Beth is your girl. Come meet her—you’ll fall in love like everyone else does.
Beth is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines and prevention.

Opie
Meet Opie 🖤
Opie is ready to find his person — and we mean his person. The one who sees his heart, his drive, and everything he’s worked so hard to become.
Born in December 2020, Opie is now 5 years old and 28 pounds. Before coming to us, he came from a life of neglect and instability. Somewhere along the way, he lost his trust in humans and developed fear-based behaviors.
But Opie didn’t stay there.
With the help of an incredible professional trainer, Opie has officially completed a board and train program and has proven that he can trust again. The transformation we’ve seen in him has been nothing short of amazing, and we are so grateful for the structure, guidance, and expertise that helped him rebuild his confidence.
Today, Opie is a confident, capable, and incredibly fun dog.
This “short stack” (mostly Cattle Dog + Dachshund, Embark tested!) is every bit a big dog in a compact body.
He:
• Walks beautifully on a loose leash
• Is neutral and confident in public (downtown, coffee shops, beach, woods — he’s done it all)
• Knows Sit, Down, Stay, Come, and Place
• Is e-collar conditioned for reliable recall
• Is crate and potty trained
• Is dog friendly (no cats)
Opie loves to do things. Tug is his favorite game, he’s learning fetch, and he can run, hike, or even bike alongside you. He needs regular exercise and mental stimulation — that’s the heeler in him — but once his needs are met, he settles well and enjoys being near his people.
His ideal home is adult-only, active, and structured. Someone who enjoys training, adventure, and holding their dog accountable in a fair, consistent way. He would thrive as an only dog with playdates or with a confident dog who matches his play style.
To support his continued success, his adopter will receive:
⭐ Group Classes for Life
⭐ 3 pro bono private sessions
⭐ Lifetime trainer support
⭐ 10% off boarding
⭐ Access to his training videos
Opie has done the work. Now he just needs someone ready to keep building with him.
Neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and up to date on prevention.
Let’s find this boy the GREAT human he deserves. 🖤

Rick
Meet Rick — The Shelter Survivor with a Heart of Gold!
Rick may have had a rough start, but you’d never know it from his happy-go-lucky spirit. This lovable goofball came into the shelter as a 7-month-old puppy and spent 8 long months there—far too long for any pup to grow up without a home. But Rick never let it dull his shine. He greeted every day with a wagging tail, a big smile, and a love for playtime and meeting new friends.
Now about 1.5 years old and a solid 60 pounds of joy, Rick is finally out of the shelter thanks to a foster—and he’s thriving. He’s playful, affectionate, and absolutely adores attention. Snuggles, belly rubs, and couch time are high on his list of favorite things (right after playtime with other pups!).
Rick is still adjusting to home life and learning that he’s not a little puppy anymore—but his eagerness to please and joyful personality make him a fast learner. He gets along great with other dogs, especially those who are down for some fun play sessions. He’s a big ol’ mush who just wants to be loved and included.
Rick is fully vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up to date on prevention. He’s ready for the forever family he’s waited so patiently for.

Tina
Meet Tina! 🐾
Tina is a sassy, sweet, 10-year-old chow mix who still has plenty of love and personality to share! Weighing in at just 35-40 pounds, this senior girl is ready to spend her golden years getting all the snuggles, naps, and treats she deserves.
Tina was adopted as a puppy alongside her buddy Jack, and after being abandoned by their previous owners, she’s now finding comfort in a safe, loving environment. Though she’s heartworm positive, Tina is undergoing the slow kill treatment and is already spayed and fully vaccinated. She also came to us with some severe skin issues. She has made tremendous progress but will likely need to continue her cytopoint injections (for itching) and some supplements for skin and hair health.
This sweet girl may be a senior, but she’s still a playful, silly soul who loves attention and affection. Tina is looking for a quiet home where she can live out her years surrounded by love and care. If you’re ready to spoil her with endless cuddles, Tina would love to meet you!

River
Adoptable River is a 5 year old full blooded Catahoula leopard dog. Here is near and dear to our hearts as the founder of our rescue has known River since he was a puppy. His family sadly had to surrender him to our organization when they were faced with drastic unexpected life changes. The good news for River is that he never had to know the hardships of shelter life, but the bad news is that he had his world turned upside down when he had to leave the only family he’s ever known. River is a large dog, full grown just under 70lbs. Despite never being professionally trained, his previous family did an incredible job with basic obedience. River knows sit, down, and shake. He is crate and potty trained, and walks beautifully with his gentle leader leash. River is very well behaved in the home and on leash walks. His favorite activities with his people are engaging in play with toys or hopping on the couch for snuggles. River has been bonded with a handful of dogs in his life, but we’ve noticed that he tends to do best with dogs who are not dominant. He is currently fostered with many other dogs ranging from small to large, young to old, and gets along great with everyone. He is also great with cats. River is wary of children and would do best in a home with no kids at all, or kids that are 16+. River’s ideal home is one that will be active with him, show the affection and attention he craves, while also providing him with a structured home life. He thrives when he feels like he is pleasing his people, whether it’s practicing his tricks at home, or getting to use his skills out in the real world. He would be totally content as the only dog but may also bond with another dog like he has before. River’s only struggle we have noticed is that he doesn’t like to share his food with other dogs, so he is always fed in his crate. He is otherwise content around the other dogs in his foster home and enjoys sharing couch snuggles, toys, and play time. River would also love a fenced yard, although not required, but he would not prefer an apartment or condo type of living. Adopters with River’s breed (or similar breed) experience will be prioritized. River is fully vetted, AKA he is up to date on vaccinations, prevention, and is neutered, heartworm negative, and microchipped.
Jack
Jack is a 10-year-old husky mix with a story that’s hard to forget. He came into one of the shelters we work with, and when they scanned his microchip, they learned the heartbreaking truth—Jack had been adopted from that very shelter as a puppy ten years ago… only to be abandoned by his “family” a decade later.
He arrived with his lifelong companion, Tina. She quickly found a foster home, and we knew we couldn’t leave Jack behind. So we brought him into our rescue—and into our hearts.
At first, Jack was unsure and lacked confidence without his sister by his side. But it didn’t take long for his personality to shine. He quickly learned how to walk on a leash, rest comfortably in a crate, and show us just how much love he has to give. Jack is incredibly affectionate—he’ll press his whole body against you, and if he could crawl inside your skin for snuggles, he absolutely would.
Like any good husky mix, Jack is a talker. He’ll tell you all about his day and how he’s feeling, and we promise, his goofy little grumbles will make you smile. He’s an easy, gentle soul who enjoys going for walks, relaxing at home, and being close to his people.
Jack is fully potty, crate, and leash trained. He gets along well with other dogs—he may be a little quirky and vocal, but he loves to play. He’s not a fit for a home with cats, as he doesn’t quite understand they aren’t toys.
When Jack arrived, he had hair loss along his back, which has been improving with medication. He is also heartworm positive and undergoing the slow-kill treatment method.
Jack is a simple boy with a huge heart. All he wants now is a soft place to land, someone to snuggle, and a forever family who won’t ever let him go. He is about 35-40 pounds and is up to date on vaccinations and prevention, and is neutered and microchipped.

Josie
Meet Josie!
Josie came to us after spending her entire young life in a shelter, and now that she finally knows what it feels like to be in a home, she’s blooming more every day. She is believed to be a beagle mix and is fully grown at about 35 pounds — a perfect, compact companion for someone looking for a gentle, loyal dog.
Josie has picked up home life beautifully. She’s fully crate trained, potty trained, and leash trained, and she knows commands like sit, wait, stay, and more. She truly craves love from humans and seeks it out, wanting to stay close and soak up affection once she feels connected.
Because she didn’t get to socialize much during her early developmental stage, Josie can be shy with new people and new situations at first. But with patience, calm voices, and a soft approach, she warms up quickly and becomes incredibly affectionate. She’s also dog friendly, enjoying play time or giving her canine friends gentle face kisses, and loves peaceful days spent lounging, walking, or being near her person.
Josie's ideal home is a quiet, gentle home where she can continue building confidence while feeling safe and loved. She thrives with a human who is confident yet gentle. If you’re looking for a sweet, well-mannered girl who will reward your kindness with deep devotion, Josie is ready to meet you.
Josie is fully vetted — spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and on prevention.

Willie
Hi, I'm Willie! I was saved from a very rural shelter where my life was on the line. Me and my brother made it out and into foster homes. We were so afraid of everyone and everything. Being in a foster home has helped me tremendously. I'm about 6 months old now and am gaining more confidence each day. I am a big lover of other dogs, in fact, I need to have another dog in my future home to help me with my confidence! I am also good with cats and kids, (even though I'm still learning not be afraid of them).
I am fully vetted and pretty much completely crate and potty trained. I'm still learning leash skills but will continue to get better with time.

Lainey
Meet Lainey!
Lainey came to us from a rural shelter where she was heartbreakingly out of time. The moment we saw her name on the euthanasia list, we knew she deserved a second chance—and she’s been making the most of it ever since.
At around 4–5 years old and just 30 pounds, Lainey is a petite girl with a gentle spirit and a big heart. She’s dog- and cat-friendly—completely unbothered by cats and happiest when playing with other pups or snoozing on the couch beside her people. With her low-to-moderate energy, she’s just as content going for a walk as she is curling up for a cozy nap afterward.
Lainey is nearly fully potty- and crate-trained, walks well on leash, and loves her daily strolls. She’s friendly with everyone she meets and has the kind of easygoing personality that makes her a joy to be around.
Lainey is up to date on core vaccinations and prevention, spayed, microchipped, and heartworm negative.

Skylar
I'm Skylar! I am a young adult (approximately 2 years old) cattle dog mix and weigh about 35-40 pounds.. I came from a sad situation. I was found abandoned on a property with 6 other dogs. All of my siblings/friends have been adopted except for me. I'm currently fostered with another dog and LOVE her. I would love another dog in my forever home to be my buddy.
I am crate, potty, and leash trained. My foster mom has even worked on some basic commands with me and I am very smart. I am a little shy with new people and places at first, but with your love, I gain more confidence everyday.
I am spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations and prevention, and hear worm negative.

Faith
Meet Faith!
We believe she is a Catahoula hound mix, about three years old, and 45 pounds of softness and resilience. She has been with us since September, and her story is one we will never forget.
When we first saw Faith at Colleton County Animal Shelter, she was dragging a broken front leg and her back legs were not working. The shelter did not have the resources to treat her, and she was at risk of being euthanized. We did not have a plan. We did not have the funds lined up. We just had faith. That is how she got her name.
She had surgery on her leg in September and has made a full recovery. Since then, she has been spayed, vaccinated, and completed heartworm treatment. Her body has healed beautifully.
Her heart is still catching up.
We do not know what her first few years looked like, but Faith is gentle, sensitive, and easily startled. Since November, she has been in a foster home with kids and another dog and has made incredible progress. The timid girl who once froze at everything now leans in for affection. She loves people so much. She will shower you in kisses and then quietly settle beside you like she has always belonged there.
She is great with other dogs. We joke that she is socially awkward because she is not quite sure how to play, but she tries. You can see her wanting to be brave.
Faith may never be the bold, carefree dog who walks into every room with confidence, and that is okay. She needs someone who understands sensitive dogs. She can be skittish on leash and feels safest when her people are home. A work from home family or someone who spends a lot of time at home would be ideal. She recently started an affordable anxiety medication that has helped her tremendously.
She is fully potty trained and crate trained. She is sweet, funny, affectionate, smart, and a little quirky. Catahoula lovers know exactly what that means.
Faith does not need perfect. She needs patient. She needs steady. She needs someone who sees how far she has come and chooses her anyway.

Olive
Meet Olive!
Olive is our real-life teddy bear. This girl was found out in the woods with her her 7 puppies. She did a great job caring for them despite being outside in winter. The puppies all survived and have been finding their forever families. Olive has received her vaccinations, spay surgery, and microchip. She is up to date on prevention. She is heartworm positive but has already started her treatment. We are doing the "slow kill" treatment method for her heart worms so she can be adopted now and her recheck will be in about 9 months.
Olive is fostered with other dogs and LOVES her furry siblings. She really enjoys snuggles on a soft dog bed or couch. She is low energy and easy going. She is still working on being left alone, so her ideal home would be someone that has another dog so she isn't always alone when the humans are gone.

Smith
Hi, I'm Smith! Named after a doctor in Charleston who made a donation that helped save my life. I'm a young boy - approximately 10 weeks old. I came from a really bad shelter where I was in a big kennel all by myself. Thanks to the rescue and a foster home, I've now been thriving and getting to enjoy things puppies should! I love to romp in the back yard, snuggle on a couch or soft bed, play with toys, and play with my foster siblings (human and dog).
I am believed to be a Pyrenees mix. Based on my current size, I'll probably be around 60 pounds full grown.
I've had my first puppy vaccines, and my final vaccines and neuter surgery are covered by the rescue. You can take me home before then as long as you chauffeur me to my appointments! I can't wait to meet you!
