Story
Rocco is an incredibly loving, 7-year old pitbull. He is playful and active when he wants to be but also enjoys being a big "mush," giving and receiving lots of attention and affection. He was a wonderful companion to my father, who passed unexpectedly, leaving behind his best buddy. He was in an amazing and loving home, accustomed to being free to roam and does not cause any havoc in the home. He is good around kids as he is very affectionate, however he was not raised in a household of young children. At times he may be jumpy or likes to give sloppy nibble kisses, but it is never malicious. He has never bitten anyone and is good with other dogs (may bark but would never instigate a dispute) and was raised alongside another dog his whole life with never an issue between them. We are desperate to find Rocco a loving home where he can continue to bring joy and companionship to someone's life. He is neutered and up to date on his annual physical and rabies vaccination.

Story
Our dog is a sweet dog. He is 6 years old. He likes to have the attention to himself in our household with other pets, which is why we feel he would do better as an only pet with a loving family who can pay much attention to him. He is house trained and enjoys running around the fenced in backyard playing fetch. He is up to date on his rabies vaccination. We have been his only owner and he enjoys sitting with us and following us around the house. He is an indoor pet. He sleeps inside. He likes to sleep in his crate at night or in his bed beside ours. He is also a good watch dog. He barks at strangers coming to the door and yet can also be shy and quiet around unfamiliar faces. It takes him awhile to warm up. He is somewhat scared of cars. He likes to steer clear of them when taking a walk on his leash and harness. He knows a few tricks. He eats Rachael Ray dogfood. He comes with house crate, traveling crate, dogfood, bowls, clothes, favorite toys, bandanas, collars, and flea collar.

Meet Rango, a vibrant and energetic boy who's ready to find his forever home! Originally a foster, Rango has been with us for a year, and we've learned so much about his wonderful personality. Rango is a social butterfly who gets along splendidly with kids, cats, and other dogs. He needs a spacious farm or land where he can run to his heart's content, but he also loves a cozy bed to snuggle up in at the end of the day. This smart pup is a quick learner and would thrive in an environment where he can continue to grow, be challenged, mentally stimulated and have a job. Rango is a heavy chewer, so he's best suited to homes that can provide durable, hard toys. If you're looking for a loving and lively companion with lots of energy and affection to give, Rango is the perfect match for you! Contact us to learn more about adopting this wonderful boy.

Story
Duke is an English-American Red Tick Coonhound and is 5-6 years old. I adopted him in December of ‘23 from the Palmetto Animal League and he was found abandoned in the woods, hence the unknown age. He is the most gentle, sweet and relaxed dog I have ever met and loves other dogs and kids. He is very unique as he does not like treats (tried everything), rarely barks and is a true hound as he likes to do his own thing and sniff everything. I bring him to the dog park everyday and he’s very social. His name should really be Chill as he never gets overly excited and loves to sleep and relax. He requires someone who can dedicate a good amount of time to train and love him. He is somewhat obedient on a leash, but if he smells something intriguing, he requires a bit of redirecting. I would love to keep him, but my job doesn’t afford me the time and attention he deserves. His perfect home is a place where he can run, be outside, sniff to his heart’s content and most importantly be loved.

Hi everyone, this is Bingo. We got hime when he was just 6 weeks old back in October 2022. He is a really good boy very energetic, loving, sweetheart. Unfortunately I have an Autoimmune disease that just makes it difficult for me to care for him as I wish due to all my appts. And treatments. Hope he can be re-homed soon!
