Meet Gigi! Gigi is around 5 years young, an affectionate pup with a heart full of love and a spirit that refuses to be dimmed. She recently finished weaning her puppies and is now focusing on her own health as she undergoes heartworm treatment. Despite some challenges -- including lung inflammation likely caused by the heartworms -- she's receiving the best care and plenty of love from our dedicated volunteers. Gigi is incredibly sweet, gentle, and craves affection. She never misses a chance to snuggle and will happily soak up all the love you have to give. She's also energetic and playful, though for now, she has to take things slow while she heals. Thankfully, she's found comfort in her friends Malcolm and Louise, who have been the perfect companions, keeping her spirits high with gentle play and companionship. Gigi still has a tough road ahead, but with the support of her friends -- both human and canine -- she's staying strong. Please keep her in your thoughts as she continues her recovery. If you'd like to support Gigi's journey, reach out to learn how you can help or donate toward her care. This sweet girl has so much love to give, and we can't wait to see her thrive in the happy, healthy future she deserves!

This Application is the first step in a process that we anticipate will culminate in the placement of a healthy and temperamentally-sound animal into your home as a new family member. Steps two and three respectively, will be a veterinary check (your veterinarian will be telephoned and asked about your previous record of treatment and care of your pets) and a home check, where a member or representative of (Colleen Crossan or Patrice Shearin) will visit your home to ascertain the suitability of the living quarters for your new pet and to suggest any safety features that you may not be aware of in providing a safe and secure home for your newest member. All members of the household as well as all other pets must be present for this visit. Please don’t view this as judging. We simply want to ensure that the pet is going to a great home. A virtual home visit can be arranged.

More about this rescue
Freedom Fences is a volunteer-run, 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Upstate South Carolina, working to save dogs and cats from neglect, abandonment, and euthanasia. Since 2010, we've focused on reducing the number of pets euthanized in Anderson, Oconee, and Pickens Counties through hands-on rescue, community outreach, and lifesaving transport.
We started by helping outdoor dog -- especially those chained with little shelter or space -- by offering free kennels, improving living conditions, and advocating for better animal welfare laws. In 2014, we opened The Wag Shack, a small, no-kill shelter for dogs in urgent need. We ensure every dog receives vet care, spay/neuter surgery, and love -- then find them forever homes locally or through trusted out-of-state rescue partners.
In 2016, we expanded our mission to include cat rescue. Today, we care for 25–30 adoptable cats in two cage-free facilities: The Catty Shack and Meow Manor. All cats are fully vetted, spayed/neutered, and ready for loving homes. When local adoptions aren’t possible due to overpopulation, we transport cats to rescue partners up north -- at no cost -- so they can find the families they deserve.
We may be a small team, but we believe every life matters. One adoption at a time, we're making a difference.
