My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Please contact Main Email CARE (caretoadopt@gmail.com), (803) 622-9813 for more information about this pet.
The most accurate and up to date information about adoptable pets is on our official website at www.caretoadopt.org.


American Bully/Staffordshire Terrier

Waylon was rescued & adopted by a woman who sadly passed away soon after. He was surrendered to CARE by her family. He does well in a crate, walks well on leash, loves car rides, and is house trained. Waylon is food motivated & has learned to take treats gently. He is smart and does well with training. 

Waylon would do best with an adult and as the only pet, no kids. He's sweet & playful, but used to resource guard toys & doesn't know his own strength sometimes. He can be protective of his person and home. He should be crated when company visits or work is being done on the house. He should not be introduced to people in his yard or home. Most likely, after a long period of bonding and building confidence in his home, Waylon will be able to have company and understand they aren't taking his person or home away from him. 

Waylon loves an adventure, loves to be loved on, & keeps his nose to the ground often (would excel at nose work!). This sweet pea is also quite happy relaxing by himself or snuggling on the couch with his person.

Adoption Fee: $75


Waylon is currently living in a boarding facility. The staff love him dearly and try to spend extra time with him whenever they can. He deserves a forever family. He is heartworm negative.

A completed adoption application and home visit are required for approval to adopt a CARE dog. Out of state adoptions okay. All dogs receive a distemper/parvovirus vaccine(s), kennel cough vaccine, rabies vaccine, dewormer, monthly heartworm prevention, flea & tick prevention and treatment if needed, microchip, and are spayed/neutered through CARE.

The most accurate and complete information about available dogs can be found on our official website at www.caretoadopt.orgBreeds are sometimes known, but sometimes our best educated guess.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info


We adopt out of state at the adopter's expense. Please inquire about the process if you are out of state.



We require potential adopters to fill out an adoption application. Once we receive the application back we will check references (to be included in the application), a home visit will then be set up to see if the animal fits the family and the family fits the animal.



If the potential adopter is approved and all vet care has been finished on the pet, a non-refundable adoption fee is due via check, cash or Paypal.



We will check back on you and your new pet in a few days, 1 month and at 3 months (if there is a need, to make sure the adjustment period is a success). Should the adoption not work out, we will always take the animal back as quick as we can. It is required they are ONLY returned to us. Our screening process is geared to hopefully avoid unecessary returns. Please keep this in mind when adopting - it is intended to be a LONG TERM COMMITMENT.



Please ask the foster parent what the adoption fee is as some vary.



All animals come with the following (what the fee includes):

Vet exam, vaccines, deworming, heartworm test (dogs) or FELV/FIV test (cats/kittens), and spay or neuter.

Go meet their pets


We do not currently have a shelter for the animals. We foster the animals in our own homes. We will be happy to show them to you by appointment. Please call or email to arrange. Our foster homes are in and around Columbia, SC (mainly). Out of state adoptions are ok, but same adoption procedures apply.

More about this rescue


WHY RESCUE?


I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter…the cast-offs of human society.



I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal.


And I was angry.


“God,” I said, “this is terrible! Why don’t you do something?”


God was silent for a moment, and then He spoke softly.


“I have done something," He replied. “I created you.”
