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 about 95 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 with calm personalities, and she surprisingly LOVES puppies! She is the puppy whisperer!
- 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)

- Spending time with her people—she’s the most affectionate, loyal companion

She will need to be walked daily to continue her weight loss; she especially looks forward toher daily walks after dinner.

Kela’s heartworm treatment has been completed. Kela is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations and prevention.

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.

Tina is a sassy, sweet, 11-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. Tina has been through the slow-kill heartworm treatment method. She also had terrible mange when we got her, but has since fully recovered. She does have some little bald spots where the hair may never grow back. Between her bald spots and her snaggle tooth, this girl is adorably precious!! Tina is crate, potty, and leash trained. She has gone on trips with her foster family and done amazing through whatever obstacle or adventure she is ever faced with. She is fostered with other dogs and a cat and gets along wonderfully. She is up to date on core vaccinations and prevention, and is spayed and microchipped.
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 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. He is 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. It's hard to summarize how amazing this boy is in just a short bio! He has so much love to give and such a fun and goofy personality. Whoever adopts him is getting a FANTASTIC dog.
River is fully vetted, AKA he is up to date on vaccinations, prevention, and is neutered, heartworm negative, and microchipped.

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.
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. He adores children and has always loved meeting them at adoption events. This once shy boy now leaps up with excitement when you grab his leash - ready to take on any adventure you throw his way! We joke that he has aged backwards.
When Jack arrived, he had hair loss along his back, which improved with medication. He has also gone through the slow-kill treatment method. He is up to date on vaccinations and prevention, and is neutered and microchipped.
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.

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. Her play style is quirky, so a dog that matches her is best!
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.

I just turned one year old in my foster home. I am fully vetted and a healthy boy. Im crate, potty, and leash trained. I might take some time to warm up, but I will slowly and sneakily seek out couch or bed snuggles. I would thrive in a home with a fenced yard, loving and patient humans, and at least one other dog.

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, and her spirit has followed suit.
We do not know what her first few years looked like, but Faith is gentle, sensitive, and reserved. 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 has gained so much confidence outside on the leash and has even discovered that she loves the beach!
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 booming confidence, and that is okay. She needs someone who understands sensitive dogs. She can still at times be skittish on leash, and she always feels safest when she and 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 to give her enough love to make up for her rough start to life. Whoever adopts her, you are getting an incredible dog.

This adorable girl is believed to be a hound/lab mix. She came from a hoarding situation and is lucky to be alive. The other animals that came from the same neglect case did not make it out of the shelter. Patsy was so sad when she first came to us, and we could tell she was looking for her friends. She is likely full grown and weighs about 40 pounds currently. At first we thought she was closer to 6 months, but our vet thinks she is actually about a year old. She still very much plays like a puppy though!
Patsy is currently fostered with other dogs and does great. She has started to figure out playing and loves to run around with the other dogs. She also enjoys zoomies in the yard and playing with toys. Patsy has slowly learned the "sit" command, which wasn't too hard to teach since she is VERY food motivated. This girl loves to eat!
Patsy gets really excited when she sees humans and is still learning how to have inside voices and to not jump up. She will thrive when given time to adjust in a home and with more time dedicated to helping her learn how to be a normal dog. We have finally started seeing her soft and snuggly side and this girl is SWEET! She enjoys being right next to her humans or doggy friends. Her adorable floppy self is going to make a great pet for someone.
Patsy is almost completely potty and crate trained. Patsy's adoption fee includes all of her yearly vaccinations, microchip, spay, and prevention while in our rescue. She is heartworm negative. She has not been tested with cats or kids. She is energetic and may do best without small kids in the home that she could knock over.



Evan is a 4-month-old sweetheart who may be shy at first, but once he warms up, he’s an absolute lovebug! He earned the nickname “Shadow” in foster because he just loves being by your side and follows you everywhere! Evan is believed to be a boxer/staffie mix. Evan came to our rescue after barely escaping euthasia at a rural shelter. He is officially the last of his siblings on the hunt for his forever home. Evan is currently about 20 pounds and will likely be around 45-50 pounds when full grown! Here are some notes from his foster family.
"This sweet, smart, and silly boy is full of life and always making us laugh! He’s very well rounded - He loves playing with other dogs and soaking up all the attention he can get, but he also loves a good couch snuggle with his humans. He’d love a furry sibling but would be just as happy being a spoiled only pup!
Evan is food motivated, eager to please, and doing great with potty training, crate training. He’s already learning to sit! He’s also neutered and up to date on vaccines.
If you’re looking for a goofy, affectionate little best friend with endless love to give, Evan might just be your perfect match! "
