We are tentatively opening applications for foster-to-adopt placements, for the adorable Chipmunk litter. We are accepting applications now as we’re uncertain about when their surrogate mother will begin the weaning process. She weaned her previous litter at 6 weeks, but these puppies are expected to be larger than her last batch. To be prepared, we prefer to have placements arranged ahead of time.
The pupoies mother is said to be a mix of approximately 75% Rottweiler and 25% Hound, while their father remains unknown. It is important to note that these puppies are expected to grow into large breed dogs. Today marks their third week of life, and it is evident that they appear older than their actual age with their size.
For this particular litter, we are seeking adopters who possess experience with Rottweilers or similar working dog breeds. Additionally, it is essential that potential adopters either have a training plan in place or are prepared to establish one, focusing on the puppies' training and socialization under the guidance of a qualified professional.
This requirement stems from the fact that their mother from what we have been told exhibits reactivity towards both humans and other animals. Unfortunately, she lacked the necessary training and socialization due to her owners, which is crucial for breeds of this nature.
The puppies have been a continuous project for their foster mother, who has been diligently working to desensitize and socialize them as much as possible, given their young age of just three weeks. They have improved tremendously but will need adopters dedicated to continuing their training.

Our adoption process consists of an application, reference checks, home visits when a reference check is not enough, meet and greet and adoption contract signing.
Please fill out all application fields as accurately as possible. We will not process incomplete applications.
If a dog/pup is listed on Petfinder, we are still accepting applications on him/her.
We do not adopt on a first come, first serve basis, but based on what we feel is the best fit for the family and most importantly, the animal.
We do not keep applications on file. If you are interested in a particular animal please complete an application for that particular animal.
Due to limited space and funding we are unable to, "hold" any animal to be adopted at a later time even with a completed adoption contract.
We welcome out of state adopters. However, please keep in mind that you will HAVE TO come to Holly Hill, SC to meet and adopt any of our animals.
Adoption fees are normally $500 for dogs $300 for cats. However they vary by animal and are listed in each individual posting.
Meet and Greets are scheduled only with approved adoption applications.
Please keep in mind that we do our best to make an educated guess as to the breeds of our rescued pets. In rescue we rarely see the parents of our dogs and puppies, and even when we do, they are usually mixed breeds as well. We also rarely know the age or background (behavioral & medical). We do our best to give accurate descriptions based on what we see while we have them.
