Story
Hi, I’m Keaton! I was adopted as a puppy, but sadly, several years later, I found myself back at Pawmetto Lifeline. My previous family didn’t quite understand what I needed as I grew bigger—they kept me outside all the time, and I didn’t get to meet many people or other dogs. Because of that, I can be nervous around strangers and reactive when behind barriers. But once I’m out in the open and get to know you, I’m the sweetest, goofiest, most loving dog you’ll ever meet.The staff here has been so kind, and they believe in me—and I’m starting to believe in myself, too. I’m looking for a calm, quiet home with someone who’s patient and experienced. I didn’t get training in my first home, but I’m eager to learn and bond with someone who’ll show me what love really means.If you can give me the time and space I need to open up, I promise I’ll reward you with endless affection, loyalty, and a one-of-a-kind personality.All I want is a forever family who’ll make me part of their lives—for good this time.My adoption fee includes up-to-date vaccinations, dewormer, and heartworm/flea prevention. Plus, a microchip that is already registered to you! What more could you ask for?If my bio shows “Spay/Neutered” with a checkmark, I have already been altered; if you do not see this listed, my surgery is still scheduled and a refundable spay/neuter deposit will be required, which will be returned within 10 business days after my procedure is completed.If you`d like to meet me, please fill out an application on our website, PawmettoLifeline.org.Adoptions are by appointment Tuesday through Thursday. On Fridays and Saturdays, you’re welcome to walk in anytime between 10:00am and 5:00pm. Please note that we’re closed for adoptions on Sundays and Mondays.

Story
Hi, my name is Spot!I’m a one-of-a-kind pup here at Pawmetto Lifeline—and I’m looking for a very special person to share my heart with. You see, I’m deaf, which means I experience the world a little differently. Because of that, I need an experienced, patient adopter who understands the importance of structure, boundaries, and clear, consistent communication.I’m super food-motivated (seriously—treats are the way to my heart!), and I’ve got a goofy, loving side that shines when I’m comfortable. But I’ll be honest—I don’t warm up to strangers right away. I need a little time to get to know you and feel safe. Think of it like dating—we need a few visits before I’m ready to commit!I’d do best in a calm, adult-only home with no children and minimal chaos. Once I trust you, I’m incredibly loyal and affectionate. I’m just looking for someone who sees my potential and is willing to go slow with me.If you’re kind, experienced, and up for building a strong bond based on trust and love, I might just be the perfect pup for you. Could you be my person?My adoption fee includes up-to-date vaccinations, dewormer, and heartworm/flea prevention. Plus, a microchip that is already registered to you! What more could you ask for?If my bio shows “Spay/Neutered” with a checkmark, I have already been altered; if you do not see this listed, my surgery is still scheduled and a refundable spay/neuter deposit will be required, which will be returned within 10 business days after my procedure is completed.If you`d like to meet me, please fill out an application on our website, PawmettoLifeline.org.

Story
Biscuit ended up in a shelter as a stray. She was so happy to be safe in her foster home that she slept for 3 straight days! Our best guess is she is a Boxer/American Pitbull Terrier mix. She is VERY sweet and gentle, and well behaved. She sits for her treats, waits her turn, and takes those treats very gently. She has not exhibited food aggression in her foster home. Biscuit is getting along well with the dogs in her foster home but has chased the family cat. We think a home without cats would be best for her. She is house trained, uses the doggie door, and loves to sit in the sun. She loves all people and just wants them to love her. She gives the best hugs. Biscuit is spayed, current on vaccinations, and microchipped. She is approximately 7 years old and weighs 45 lbs. Adoption fee $250.

Story
Buddy came to us as a stray. It was HOT and he was seeking shelter under a big trailer at a local school. When we arrived, he hopped right in the car and slept on soft blankets all the way to the vet. He was hot and exhausted. We know nothing about his past but he did have a microchip from another local rescue who will not take him back. Buddy doesn`t have a foster home, but at dog daycare where he lives, he seems to love the female dogs most or a chill male who won`t push him around. A dog smart owner would be great to help him adjust to life inside a loving home. He seems scared of small children at our adoption events. Given a few days to settle in to a home, which may be his first loving home, he will thrive. Buddy is 3, 45 lb, neuter, vaccines, microchip provided. He needs to see how good life can be!!

Story
I’m looking for a loving new home for my sweet girl, Clover Mae. She’s a Pittie who I adopted from a shelter, I've had for almost 4 years now. I’m not exactly sure of her age but when I got her from the shelter they mentioned she was 5 years old but I'm not sure how accurate that is. She still has so much love and energy to give. Clover is very people-friendly and loves kids and other animals. She’s house-trained, energetic, playful, and would absolutely thrive in a home with a nice yard and plenty of room to run, play, and get the attention she deserves. Unfortunately, I moved recently and I’m at a point where I can’t give Clover the amount of attention and time she needs and deserves. This is one of the hardest decisions I’ve had to make, because I want what’s best for her. I’m located in Columbia, SC. I’m not looking to just hand her off to anyone—I want to make sure she’s going to a safe, loving, comfortable home where she’ll be cared for and given the attention she needs. I do

Story
My name is Gunther.  It means Warrior.  I’m a little older guy who’s been through some stuff.  When I came here, I was so sick.  I had an upper-respiratory infection, a urinary tract infection, hookworms, heartworms, knee problems…I was so tired…I could barely walk and I was about 20 pounds under weight.  I battled back because I am a warrior.  But they tell me I’m also a goofball.  I like laying on the couch with my people; naps are my favorite thing. And food.  I like that a lot.  My people have cats and the little ones are fun to watch (sometimes the big ones are scary, even for a warrior).  Life is pretty good now, but I think I’d like my own person; one I don’t have to share with so many others.  Would you be my person?  e-mail us at animalrescuecarolina@yahoo.com with any questions or to request an application.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 8, 2026, 5:39 pm
