Story

Mia has been a cherished, valuable part of our family for 10 years. She was adopted by us as a rescue at about 3 years of age. Our best guess is she is a cattle dog/german shepherd mix. She gets along with all pets, kids, people. She is friendly, loving and will be your best friend. Unfortunately, we have recently moved to Charleston (11/23) and the last of our kids have moved out and my husband/I travel for work quite a bit. She is lonely as she is used to having people/other animals by her. We are heartbroken but feel strongly she needs a loving home who will be able to spend time with her in her final years. Zero behavioral issues, up to date with shots.

I will supply all she needs to the right adopter who will love her like I do-food, plush bed, crate and crate mat and toys. Please help me find Etta a great home!🐾❤️

Story

Sizzle "Let me introduce you to my sweet foster girl, Sizzle. Miss Sizzle is a very quiet, loving lady about 3-5 years old. Sizzle came from an overcrowded city shelter. She was suffering from malnutrition, and had horrible skin issues due to Demodex and flea allergies. The pads of her feet were raw. She obviously had been over bred. Sizzle has progressed beautifully. She gained 10 lbs and weighs a curvy 45 lbs. Sizzle does well with other dogs. She currently lives with a 65 lb male and 2 small females. I do suggest a slow introduction to new dogs. She is crate trained (loves staying in her crate with the door open) housetrained, and doggie door trained. She is not a counter surfer or escape artist. She has come a long way in 2 months. She has learned to sit on command and we are making progress on the stay command. She is very food driven which makes training easier. She supervises my every step when I'm doing chores. She is very attentive to me, but not dependent."- Gloria Isn't she gorgeous? Sizzle deserves to be someone's furever companion.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

He's here!! 8-years-old, 50lb Bart was NOT euthanized Wednesday and instead he's living life in Charleston!! And BOY is he happy!!!! His first whole day of freedom!!! Videos in comments. Look Fully vetted. He is a little shy at first with people but warms up quickly and is very sweet. He prefers to play with dogs that are relatively calm and will not jump on him. He is more cautious with males but warms up! He is dog friendly. He isn't much of a cat lover (we think) but does enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners and romantic smooches. Watch out ladies, we got a gentleman on our hands!! From his foster after 1st night: "He was quiet throughout the night and didn't have any accidents. We took a walk this morning and had breakfast, then spent a little time out back playing. He is SO happy!!" Adopt!!! rosierescue.org
