My story

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

Poor Chewy was brought into the county shelter when his owner could no longer care for him. He had ear and eye infections that took several weeks to treat. It seems they were left untreated for quite some time, and we have tried several different medications to get them cleared up. Our vet said, because of scarring and irritation he will need his ears cleaned and medicated regularly. The ones we were given costs around $35.00 and should last a month or two. He unfortunately does have a heart murmur and will more than likely need medications in the near future. Chewy is a loyal and affectionate companion, deeply devoted to his human. While he may be wary around large dogs, he gets along famously with smaller breeds. He enjoys cuddling on the sofa to watch TV and finds comfort in sleeping under the covers with his human. He does bark at strangers but walks well on a leash and is house trained. Chewy would thrive in a home where he can be the center of attention as the only dog, with a couple or single person who can provide him with the love and affection he craves. He bonds closely with his human and prefers not to be left alone for long periods. He even met some kids at his current foster home and had no issues. Chewy is around 10 years old and weighs 15 lbs., likes to ride in the car, and is good on the leash. He is neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative, microchipped, and received a fecal, exam and 6 months of heartworm preventative. We do not know if he would be ok with cats or a busy home. He has been around children and was a sweet boy. He is not a fan of the crate. He will go in but will complain loudly. He also likes to sit on top of the crate and be the king. lol He is good with house manners if taken out regularly. He goes outside when prompted and will occasionally ask to go out. He does use pee pads if he is indoors. We do know he had one owner and a small male dog who was only 1.5 years old with him in his former home. Everyone who meets him says he is a sweet old man, and he would love to be the one and only with his one person. He loves to have one person and he attaches to them and loves to sleep next to you under the covers. Grandpa Chewy is located in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Home visit, approved application, and adoption fee of $200 required.

More about this rescue

We are a 501c3 non profit in South Carolina. PLP was started in 2015. We are a 100% foster based rescue where all dogs are placed in loving homes until a forever home is found. We pull dogs from high kill shelters in North and South Carolina whose time are up. Many of our dogs are heartworm positive, scared, defeated, and broken. Many are very sick. Each dog gets extensive vet care; all ailments taken care of, spayed or neutered, chipped, and are given all vaccines. They learn house manners and crate training while in their foster home along with how to walk on a leash and socialization skills.
Many are different dogs when they are adopted than when they came to us.
