My story

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

Seven tiny puppies, one very uncertain beginning, and an incredible turnaround made possible by compassion and teamwork. 🐶✨
These sweet babies came to us from one of our rural shelter partners after being found as strays. They did have a mama, but she was still so young herself and understandably overwhelmed. She wanted nothing to do with the puppies, and without a mom to care for them, the shelter was no place for such fragile little lives.

Knowing these babies needed more than what could be provided in that environment, the shelter advocated hard for them—and we’re so thankful they did. An amazing foster immediately stepped up, opening their home and heart not only to seven tiny puppies, but also becoming a loving surrogate when these babies needed it most.

They’ve only been in foster care for a few days, but the transformation has been incredible. It was clear they needed some medical attention and consistent care, and now they’re truly thriving. Full bellies, healthy weight gain, playful energy, and personalities starting to shine through more every day. This is exactly what rescue is all about.

Despite their rough start, these puppies are incredibly social and resilient. They love other dogs, are wonderful with people of all ages, do great with cats, and adore kids. They’re happy, playful, curious little pups who are learning what it means to feel safe and loved.

In about 1–2 weeks, these seven will be ready to head off to their forever homes. Homes where they’ll never have to worry about being unwanted, overlooked, or left behind again. For now, they’re doing exactly what puppies should be doing—playing, growing, and soaking up all the love they were once missing.

We are so proud of how far they’ve already come and so grateful to the fosters and shelter partners who made their rescue possible. Their future is bright, and we can’t wait to watch it unfold. 🖤🐾

More about this rescue

We are a small foster based animal rescue located in North Charleston, SC. We pull dogs from rural shelters in South Carolina that would otherwise have no way out. We provide them with a safe, loving home, where we learn more about the pet and what their needs are. Once they have been fully vetted and we know their personality, we match them with their perfect family where the pet will know nothing but love going forward!
