Yeller (Intake Date: 12/27/2023)
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 (Intake Date 2/6/2024)
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.

Fred (pending)
Meet Fred!
Fred and his siblings were brought into a rural animal shelter as strays, but the odds were against them because they were completely feral. Our best guess is that the puppies were born in the woods somewhere and lived on the streets with no human interaction until being picked up by animal control. Unfortunately, that is a death sentence for dogs in shelters, but thankfully for Fred and his siblings, they were rescued. Fred was 5 months old when he came to us. Born mid April 2024, Fred is now approaching one year old. His siblings had a DNA test done and so we learned they are all foxhound beagle mixes, which explains Fred's look and size. He is full grown at just about 40 pounds.
Fred is incredibly smart and has really come out of his shell in his foster home. He loves his crate and knows to go there when it's time for his foster to go to work, or when it's time for his meals. He hilariously likes to lay down and eat his food, really savoring the beauty of consistent meals!
Fred is very comfortable in his foster home with the other dogs, but still shy with people. He is really comfortable with his foster mom but still learning to take pets from strangers. He shrinks down when he is nervous. Fred has learned how to use the leash and gets better every time. His favorite things are chasing his foster siblings in the yard, or snuggling up with a chew toy in his dog bed. He also loves couch snuggles for movie time with his foster. He is potty trained.
Fred is required to go to a home with another dog. Another dog will help be a role model for him and show him how to continue building confidence. Fred matches the energy of other dogs extremely well. He can be playful, or he can mind his own business if he needs to. He enjoys snuggles with his furry siblings as much as he likes to snuggle next to his people!
Fred's ideal home is one with at least one other dog that will continue to show him the ropes and help him build confidence. The perfect adopter is one that will continue to give him time to warm up and create that special bond, and one who will continue teaching him how to be a normal dog by showing him humans are not so scary. Fred needs a fenced yard in his forever home so that he has a safe place to potty and play. He has been around kids and done well, but young children (less than 8 ish) may make him nervous, so ideally there are no young kids in his forever home. If you are looking for a quiet, laid back, beautiful dog who will continue making a beautiful transformation as he bonds with his forever family, Fred could be the perfect pup for you. Fred is fully vetted.

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 young adult, approximately 3-4 years old, and full grown at 45 pounds. Beth has a sad story. She came into the shelter with her jaw ripped open and covered in scars. She thankfully healed up wonderfully. Despite whatever she went through, she was still incredibly friendly with people and dogs. She is fostered in a home with a lot of other dogs and a cat. She is very well behaved and loves her people and other animals.
Beth is fully vetted but is heartworm positive. She gets her heartworm treatment soon and will officially be adoptable after. Anyone interested in Beth can apply to foster-to-adopt as long as they are willing to transport her to treatment.

Opie
Meet Opie!
Opie is a special guy who is officially ready to find his person/family. He came to us in January and we were told he was very timid because he had lived in a crate for two years. We quickly learned Opie had some fear reactivity. It didn’t scare us, and we knew he deserved a chance to work through it. He slowly has, and has built more trust with his foster family every single day.
Not long after saving Opie from the shelter, we received messages from people in his past life. We found out he was born in December of 2020. He lived with one family for two years before they faced hardships and rehomed him. Long story short, they had rehomed him with a friend, and apparently he wasn’t treated well. We were told that Opie had been locked in a crate for 24 hours a day, picked up by the skin of his neck, cut by a knife, and even left in a hot car once and almost died because of it. We were also contacted by this other person and were told the first family abandoned Opie. We don’t know what is true. We do know that over time, Opie developed fear reactivity - can you blame him? - and then he wound up at the shelter.
Opie has never had a true home with people he could trust in his 4 years. He has experienced a life of hardships, abandonment, and a life where he never guaranteed to live without pain or fear. We have worked really hard to show Opie that he doesn’t have to fear for his safety. He won’t feel pain again. He won’t have to wonder when his next bathroom break will be, or if he has to relieve himself in his crate. He won’t have to wonder if his people are never coming home. He won’t have to wonder if a human is reaching down if it’s to pet him or hurt him. He will never have to worry about those things or know a life of neglect ever again. It’s time to find this boy a real family. One that will continue to help him trust and build more confidence each day. Opie thrives with a structured routine. He’s very active and loves a fenced yard to zoomie in. He also loves going for adventures. He can be wary of strangers. Kids would likely make him nervous, so no kids in the home is required. He has prey drive, so we suggest a home without cats or small critters. He is dog friendly but can play rough, so he would do great with a dog not intimated by his play style, or as an only dog with occasional play dates with others. He loves snuggles and loves adventures, and will make someone a great dog. Let’s find him a GREAT human!
Opie is 4 years old and full grown at 28 pounds. We did a DNA test and he is mostly cattle dog and dachshund. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and UTD on prevention.

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.
💛 Want to be Rick’s happy ending? Apply to adopt!
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.

Mimi
✨ Meet Miracle (Mimi)! ✨
Mimi’s name says it all — she truly is a miracle. When she came into the shelter as a stray, she was skin and bones, starving and barely surviving in the elements. But since coming into our foster home, Mimi has blossomed into the sweetest, calmest, and most loving dog you could ever meet. She is believed to be between 2-4 years old and is about 40 pounds.
Mimi shows her gratitude every single day. She’s put on healthy weight, loves to play, and has learned what it means to just be a dog again. She’s incredibly dog-friendly and gets along beautifully with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments in our pack.
This girl is patient, gentle, and especially loves playing with her favorite rope toy — she tosses it up in the air and plays catch with herself (cutest thing you’ll ever see!). Mimi is fully crate- and potty-trained, rides like a dream in the car, and has traveled with us, adjusting beautifully to new environments. She’s happy to snuggle in bed with you or cozy up on a dog bed nearby.
After so much neglect, Mimi is so ready to shower her forever family with love.
✅ Dog-friendly
✅ Kid-friendly (all ages)
✅ Crate- and potty-trained ✅ Calm, loving, and patient
✅ Currently resting during heartworm recovery (no walks needed right now!)
❓ Cat compatibility unknown

Sugar
Meet Sugar! 🐾
Sugar is a resilient, two-year-old Australian Shepherd mix who has overcome more in her short life than most dogs ever face. She came to us in June 2024 from a severe hoarding case. She arrived nearly feral—hairless from demodectic mange, battling painful skin infections, and terrified of the world. After nine months of dedicated medical care and gentle fostering, Sugar has healed physically and is slowly learning what it means to be safe and loved. We believe Sugar is about two years old and she weighs just under 30 pounds full grown.
During her time in foster care, Sugar has blossomed in her own quiet way. She is fully crate and potty trained, loves to run and play in the fenced yard, and especially enjoys the company of other dogs. Her playful side shines through when she’s with her canine friends, and they’ve helped her gain confidence every day.
Sugar is still very nervous about human touch and may shy away from being handled—but she finds comfort lying next to you on the couch and being close at her own pace. Her ideal home will be patient, understanding, and willing to celebrate small victories. She may never be a dog who enjoys leashed walks in the park, but she is a wonderful companion in the home, with so much love waiting to emerge as she continues to build trust.
If you’re the kind of adopter who sees the beauty in progress and believes every dog deserves a chance to feel safe and cherished, Sugar may be your perfect match. She’s come a long way—and with your love, she can go even further.
Sugar is fully vaccinated, mircrochipped, spayed, and up to date on prevention.

Howie (pending)
Meet Howie!
This sweet, soulful-eyed beagle-basset mix is a true survivor with a heart full of love. Found in heartbreaking conditions as part of a severe hoarding case, Howie spent his early life confined to a crate so filthy he couldn’t even stand upright. But those days are behind him, and Howie is finally learning what it means to be a beloved pet.
We believe Howie is anywhere from 2-4 years old, and he is about 30 pounds. Howie has completed heartworm treatment, is neutered, and is fully up to date on vaccines and preventatives. His charming long body, short bowed legs, and gentle nature make him impossible not to adore. He’s doing great with crate and potty training and continues to blossom as he learns the routines of home life. Howie has attended his first adoption event with us and did great meeting new dogs and people, including children!
Howie is dog-friendly and really shines with other playful, easygoing pups. He would do best with canine companions who are more fun than bossy. As for cats—he finds them a bit too interesting—so a cat-free home would be the best fit.
If you’re looking for a lovable, low-to-the-ground buddy with a resilient spirit and a heart ready to heal, Howie might just be your perfect match.

Addie
Meet Addie!
This sweet and dainty Chihuahua mix is as resilient as she is lovable. Rescued from a heartbreaking hoarding situation, Addie has shown remarkable strength and grace. Though a bit shy at first, she warms up quickly with gentle attention—and once she does, she absolutely adores being pampered.
At around 12 pounds and an estimated 4–5 years old, Addie is the perfect size for snuggling on the couch or accompanying you on quiet adventures. She’s fully vetted—spayed, up to date on vaccines, and current on monthly preventatives.
Addie gets along beautifully with other dogs and finds comfort in their company. She’s even been out in public and handled it like a champ, soaking in the new sights and sounds with quiet curiosity.
She recently had a minor procedure to remove a benign growth and has recovered wonderfully. Looking ahead, she’ll benefit from a routine dental cleaning—something many small dogs need to keep them feeling their best.
Addie is ready for a calm, loving home where she can continue to build trust and enjoy all the cozy comforts she’s missed. If you’re looking for a gentle-hearted companion with a love for cuddles and quiet moments, Addie might just be your perfect match.

Sailor
Meet adoptable Sailor!
This stunning gal came to us with her one-day-old puppies, who were sadly passing away one by one. She had no idea what she was doing—but with help from our rescue team and vet partners, we were able to save two of her babies. Sailor figured out how to be a mom, and a great one at that. Always wearing a smile, she passed on her love, loyalty, and goofiness to her puppies. Now that they’ve headed into forever homes, it’s Sailor’s turn!
Sailor is about 2 years old and full grown at around 35 to 40 pounds. She’s a perfect size and insists she’s a lap dog. She loves to snuggle and will happily seek out pets and attention any chance she gets. While she was shy at first, Sailor has blossomed into a social butterfly who enjoys meeting new people and pets. She’s dog friendly, cat friendly, and even kid friendly! She’s loved attending adoption events and being the center of attention.
In her foster home, Sailor lives with another dog and several cats. She loves to play with her foster brother—wrestling matches and zoomies are her jam—and she’s great with the cats (though she’s a little too interested in their food!). She’s still puppy-like with her hilarious antics and loves to “steal” shoes—not to chew them, but to collect them. This silly girl will bring a lot of love and laughter to her forever family.
Sailor is still working on crate and potty training, and she’s fine tuning her leash skills. She’s eager to please and responds well to guidance. Sailor is fully vetted, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and prevention.

Imrul
Hi, I’m Imrul!
I was born around March 31st and ended up at the shelter with my mom and siblings when we were just tiny babies. Most of my family has been adopted by now—but I’m still waiting for my forever people!
I’m currently hanging out at Pet Supplies Plus on James Island, hoping that being here helps me get noticed so I can finally go home. I’ve spent time with other cats and even dogs, and I’ve gotten along great with everyone. I’ve got a super sweet, loving personality, and I’m not afraid to show off my goofy, playful side either.
I’m already neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all my vaccines and prevention. I’m litterbox trained and a gentleman at home. All that’s missing now is you! Come visit me and let’s see if we’re the perfect match.

Gorda (pending)
Meet Gorda!
At 10 years old, Gorda may be considered a senior — but don’t tell her that! This spunky poodle mix is full of life, love, and personality. She’s a petite girl, fully grown at just 12 pounds, and she’s healthy, happy, and ready to find a forever home where she can soak up all the attention she craves.
Gorda is fully vetted, heartworm negative, and even had her dental cleaning done. She’s great with other dogs and currently lives peacefully with a pack of pups and a cat. She’s also crate, potty, and leash trained — the full package!
As a poodle mix, Gorda will need regular grooming to keep her coat healthy and comfortable — and she’s totally worth the pampering. She also has a sensitive tummy and does best on prescription food, which helps keep her feeling her best.
What really makes Gorda special is her deep devotion to her people. She’s a true velcro dog who will follow you everywhere (privacy? never heard of it), and she insists on snuggling up in bed at night. She thrives in public and loves meeting new people, showing her affection with lots of love and tail wags.
Gorda is equal parts hilarious and heartwarming — a loyal little shadow who will bring endless joy and laughter to the lucky person or family who adopts her.

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. He’s not destructive nor has he tried to counter surf. He is not reactive on leash and loves to go for 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 submissive dogs he does not find threatening. 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 but tends to keep to himself. River would also love a fenced yard and would not prefer an apartment or condo type of living. After being surrendered, he has been learning to cope with being left alone which sometimes results in barking, but he’s made huge progress in foster care. 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.
Ginny (pending)
Meet Ginny! Ginny came to us with her siblings after being found out in the country. Sadly, one of the puppies had already passed when they were found, but the rest were rescued just in time. With some routine vet care and a whole lot of love, Ginny and her siblings have truly thrived in foster care.
We don’t know their exact breed mix, but we estimate their birthday to be around April 17th, and they should be medium-sized when full grown. Ginny is a sweet, laid-back puppy who loves other dogs and does great with everyone she meets. She enjoys playing, exploring the yard, and curling up for naps after a little adventure. Her foster says she’s been an easy, well-mannered pup who is happy whether she’s snuggling or entertaining herself.
Ginny is doing great with crate and potty training. She is already spayed, microchipped, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations and prevention. Her final vaccines will be covered by our rescue through our vet.
If you're looking for a gentle, happy puppy to join your family, Ginny might be the one.

Luna
Meet Luna! Luna came to us with her siblings after being found out in the country. Sadly, one of her siblings had already passed when found, but thankfully their finder reached out for rescue help. Luna and her siblings just needed routine veterinary care and TLC to overcome their rough start to life. They have since been thriving in foster homes!
We are unsure of what their breeds are mixed with, but we believe they were born approximately April 17th and should be medium-sized when full grown. Luna is currently fostered in a home with other dogs and doing great! She has also come to adoption events and loved the kids she’s met. She is affectionate and playful, but also totally content being Miss Independent in her crate. She entertains herself with snoozes and toys while her foster mom works from home.
Luna is doing great with the basics of puppy crate and potty training. She is already spayed and microchipped and is up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations and prevention. Her final vaccinations are covered by our rescue with our vet.

Archibald
Meet Archibald!
Archibald came into a rural shelter with his littermates—underweight, undersized, and in rough shape. At first, we thought they were just 2 months old, but their teeth told a different story—they were actually around 5 months! We estimate their birthday to be around February 30, 2025, and now that Archibald is growing steadily, we expect he’ll be a smaller medium-sized dog, likely under 40 pounds when fully grown.
This sweet boy has blossomed in his foster home. He has a shiny black coat, a gentle spirit, and a playful personality. He enjoys romping with his doggy friends and is learning all about crate, potty, and leash training.
Archibald is up to date on age-appropriate vaccines and prevention. His final vaccinations and neuter surgery will be covered by our rescue when he’s old enough.

This sweet boy has blossomed in his foster home. He has a shiny black coat, a gentle spirit, and a playful personality. He enjoys romping with his doggy friends and is learning all about crate, potty, and leash training.
Archibald is up to date on age-appropriate vaccines and prevention. His final vaccinations and neuter surgery will be covered by our rescue when he’s old enough.
Alma
Meet Alma!
Alma is one of the smallest pups in her litter, but her heart is huge and she’s never short on love. She came into a rural shelter with her siblings, all of them severely underweight and much smaller than they should have been. At first, we thought they were just 2 months old, but based on their teeth, they were actually around 5 months. We estimate their birthday to be around February 30, 2025, and expect Alma to stay smaller medium sized, likely under 40 pounds when fully grown.
Alma is as sweet as they come. When she’s not busy playing, she’s snuggled up with her humans or cuddling with her doggy friends. She has the most adorable permanent puppy dog eyes and she knows just how to use them.
Alma is up to date on age appropriate vaccines and prevention. Her final vaccinations and spay surgery will be covered by our rescue when she’s old enough.
