Story
Meet Mellie - She is currently in a foster home. This is what they said about her: Mellie is a sweet girl who is timid and cautious at first, but has grown to be a happy, spunky, and curious pup in her foster home. She loves her foster brother pups, running zoomies in the yard, and every comfy spot she finds. She loves treats, but isn’t good at sharing food with other dogs just yet. She is just coming out of her shell and learning to trust that the world and people aren’t always scary. She has earned the “Velcro” dog title with her foster mom. She is always excited to follow along and see what’s going on. She likes her foster dad, but he has had to work a little harder to gain Mellie’s trust. Once she is comfortable, Mellie is catching up on being a puppy. She loves tossing toys around, wrestling with her foster dog brother, running circles in the yard, and taking long naps once she has worn herself out. She will need some basic training, but is fully potty trained, knows her name, sleeps in her doggie bed through the night, and knows “come”, and sometimes remembers “sit” and “stay”. Her foster cat friend doesn’t enjoy Mellie’s spunky attempts to play, so Mellie may do best in a cat free home. She will do great in a patient, quiet, routine home with people who will love, cuddle, and teach her new things. She would also LOVE a doggie sibling to help her see how fun the world can be. Interested in Mellie? Contact or behavior team at behavior@charlestonanimalsociety.org to learn more or come to CAS during our adoption ours Weekdays 12pm-3pm and Weekends 10am-5pm.

Story
Josey is a very special, smart boy. He has been a wonderful member of our family. He adapts quickly to new routines and likes to know what to expect. After downsizing, relocating, and continuing to grow our family, we know he is unhappy. We see his increase in anxiety/aggression towards littermate and we are heartbroken that we have been unable to meet his needs and give him the attention he deserves. Josey would THRIVE with an owner who can give him lots of individual love, snuggles, walks, tug of war, and freedom to roam the fenced in land. He loves to lay at your feet while you work. He would make a great farm and guard dog. He protects and loves us all and trusts us greatly after many hardships in his early life. This is truly so difficult to explore other options for him, but we want him to be happy and we know he deserves more. It is very important to us to know he would be transferred to a loving, safe home that will care for him properly. American Bull Dog/Weimaraner/Boxer

Story
This sweet girl has had quite the journey. Molly was found as a stray - she was emaciated, dehydrated, had a severe case of mastitis, and was frankly close to death. Molly was brought into a local shelter barely responsive. Within a couple days, she made her way to Hallie Hill where she was provided all of the medical care she needed. Today, miss Molly is exuberant, playful, and is acting like a young pup should. This special, brave girl deserves a wonderful, loving home! She hopes you will apply to adopt her!Approx DOB: 7/2015--The first step in meeting any of our animals is to fill out an application at halliehill.com.

Story
Naomi came to Hallie Hill as an emaciated puppy in 2015. She was adopted in 2017 and kept in a loving home for three years, but when her owner had to move, they no longer had a secure yard, so he had to take her for daily walks and to dog parks. Sadly, Naomi became reactive to people and dogs when on a leash and was returned to the sanctuary. Naomi has a history of injuring a dog, so she is housed alone at the sanctuary. When going on outings with volunteers from the sanctuary, she does very well. She is incredibly sweet and loving. We cannot say with confidence how her behaviors would change when she forms an attachment.

Story
Liza, small but mighty! She is full of non-stop energy. Cute as can be with those adorable ears, perfect size and gorgeous color! She was a stray at a local shelter. It`s apparent that wherever she came from they didn`t give her the time and direction that she deserved. She will benefit from structure and positive training and will make a fun companion once someone puts the effort into her. Liza shares her pen with another dog. She would do best with an easygoing `sibling.`

Story
Everyone that sees Luna says she is the happiest pup they have ever seen! Her whole body wags when she sees you! She is 9 months old, has completed obedience training and knows her stuff! She loves to get brushed, is able to be crated up to 8 hours and is never aggressive! Luna lost a hind leg at a very early age but that does not slow her down at all! She is able to hop up in the car and runs with the others as if she has all fours! She comes with a crate, bed, cot, a pin with room to spread out, food bowls, leash, collar w/info tag. I am struggling personally and want to find a good home while she is young. Luna will be a great addition to any home and will do well with children and other pets.
