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.

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! "

Rhea’s story didn't start out easy. Rescued from a severe hoarding situation where she is lucky to be alive, she has every reason to be cautious. Instead, this sweet, compact 25-pound Corgi/Aussie/border collie mix has shown unbelievable resilience, trusting humans completely and embracing every bit of love offered to her. Rhea was rescued from the hoarding case in July of 2026 and is believed to be around 3 years old. She spent her entire life up until her rescue in those horrible conditions, then in a shelter environment, and you would have never known it based on how well she's adjusted to the foster home life!
Rhea is the ultimate lovebug who perfectly combines fun energy with deep affection. A true high-energy girl, she loves to play and stay active, but her absolute favorite place to be at the end of the day is cuddled up right next to you on the couch. Whether you're relaxing after a walk or lounging on the weekend, she will happily collapse into your lap or let you hold her like a baby. Having lived around many animals, she is wonderfully dog-friendly and gets along great with other canine companions. A friendly resident dog could even help her feel extra safe and confident as she settles in.
Rhea is spayed, up to date on all of her core vaccinations and monthly prevention, microchipped, heartworm negative, and completely ready for her fresh start. All she needs now is a patient, loving home where she can channel her fun energy, feel safe, and spend the rest of her days surrounded by endless cuddles.

Cypress is a gentle, soulful boy who is looking for a special family to help him write his next chapter. Rescued from a severe hoarding situation, Cypress came from a world where he had to compete for basic care and attention. Because of his past, he is naturally shy and reserved, but beneath his quiet exterior lies a deeply sweetheart just waiting for the right environment to bloom. Cypress is 25 lbs, 3 years old and full grown. He is believed to be a corgi/aussie/border collie mix.
Cypress is looking for a patient, understanding home that will let him go at his own pace. He takes his time getting to know new people and places, so a calm environment and a kind family willing to offer reassurance will work wonders for his confidence. Having spent his life surrounded by other animals, Cypress is dog-friendly, and living with a confident, welcoming resident dog could help show him the ropes and reassure him that he’s safe. His ideal home has at least one other dog. Cypress is navigating a normal routine and is doing well with his crate, potty, and leash training.
Cypress is neutered, up to date on all his vaccinations, current on monthly preventions, microchipped, and heartworm negative. With time, love, and a quiet home, Cypress will reward his adopters with endless loyalty and the unmatched joy of watching a rescue dog finally feel safe enough to trust.

Meet Hershey!
Just like his namesake, Hershey is one sweet little guy! At around 5.5-6 months old, this handsome boy is gentle, affectionate, and a professional snuggler, with an adorable bouncy, playful side that comes out when he’s feeling comfortable. He loves curling up right next to his favorite people, following them around the house, and somehow always manages to sniff out a treat from a mile away!
Hershey is a sensitive soul who takes a little time to warm up to new people and situations. He’s still learning to navigate the world with confidence and does best with a calm, patient approach. When he feels unsure or overwhelmed, he may need a little extra space and reassurance. He’ll thrive with someone who understands and respects his need for slow introductions and allows him to build trust at his own pace.
Hershey has been so sweet and gentle with the children in his foster home and has shown a calm curiosity toward other dogs. Because he’s still building his confidence and can become overwhelmed in unfamiliar situations, a quieter home with patient, understanding adopters who will give him the time and space he needs to feel secure would be ideal.
Hershey may not give his heart away to just anyone, but once you’ve earned his trust, you’ll be rewarded with endless snuggles and plenty of Hershey kisses (pun intended)!
Hershey is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on core vaccinations and prevention.

Dove is a 5.5-6 month-old, 22-pound Lab mix with the sweetest little face and an even sweeter personality starting to shine through. She came into foster life a little unsure of the world around her, but every day she gets more comfortable, more curious, and more confident. Watching her begin to spread her wings has been so special!
Dove is a smart girl who is already doing amazingly well in her foster home. She has had ZERO accidents in the house or in her crate so far, and she is continuing to work on crate training, leash walking, and all of the other things that come along with being a puppy. She is dog friendly and has been settling into foster life beautifully.
She is still figuring out the world and learning that new things aren’t so scary, so we would love to find her a family who will continue building her confidence and celebrating all of those little wins with her. Dove is gentle, sweet, and has so much potential to grow into an incredible lifelong companion.
Dove is already spayed, up to date on core vaccinations and prevention, and microchipped. If you’re looking for a sweet young pup to grow alongside your family, Dove may just be your girl. 🤍
