My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

She is one of the 12 chihuahuas pulled from a hoarding case up in Anderson SC.
One of our "little" volunteers had a wonderful idea to name them after gem stones. Little did we know at that time, there just happens to be 12 precious stones. So naming them after gemstones was just meant to be.
She is about 11 years old and weighs 11.4 lbs. She needs a loving home that can be patient and tolerant of a scared little girl learning to be a loved pet. Although they know humans, they were never taught affection and love.

Foster update: Amy enjoys the company of other dogs. She likes to sleep in bed with you, often under the blankets and wakes up in the morning full of snuggles and kisses! She doesn't like being held but will tolerate it. She will be a loyal companion for a patient family willing to work to earn her trust.

WE ONLY ADOPT LOCALLY WITHIN A 2 HOUR RADIUS OF THE TRICOUNTY AREA. ***Exceptions may be made for seniors or hard to place dogs.

If the animal is under the age of 3 years old or has health issues, a vet reference is required which means you must own a pet or have owned a pet in your name.

Adoption fee of $265. covers all vetting including spay/neuter surgery, vaccines, microchip heartworm test and treatment if needed and any other medical that may be required while in rescue.

We only do adoptions on Saturday and not all animals are able to attend so if you would like to see a specific animal please let us know so that we can make arrangements for it to be present at the event. Event locations do vary so please check the homepage to find out where we will be this week. Please do not ask us to reduce adoption fees since all fees help us to cover medical expenses for all of our animals, some of which can be very expensive. Saving lives is not cheap so thank you for your understanding and helping us save as many as possible.

We have no facility. All of our dogs live in foster homes. Since we are all volunteers, including the director, that also work and have families, the ONLY day we do dog adoptions is on Saturdays from 1 to 4 at the event.

*****

In order to guarantee any dog will be at the event, you must first complete and return an application to be preapproved and an appointment time set.

*****

Some animals require a vet reference in the applicant's name which means they must own or have owned a pet in the last 10 years. If you would like to adopt a dog under the age of three years or Cat under the age of 1 year vet reference is required.

*****

We prefer to adopt in the Tri-County area first. If the dog has been in our care for longer than two months, the director may consider an adoption at a greater distance. Out of area adoptions are a case by case basis.
