Story

Judy has already beaten the odds once. In May 2025, Judy was brought to an animal shelter after being shot in her neighborhood. No owner ever came forward to claim her. Thanks to the care she received, Judy made a full recovery and has shown incredible resilience every step of the way. It would be heartbreaking for Judy's journey to end on June 26 after surviving what she did. Help us get her out of the shelter and save her life!! Judy has proven she is a survivor. Now she needs someone willing to give her the future she fought so hard to have. ❤️‍🩹 Medical: Heartworm Negative, Bordetella, DHPP, Rabies 📅 Deadline: June 26 (to spring her from the shelter...she is not in the rescue yet) After everything Judy has survived, she deserves a happy ending—not a deadline. Please share, foster, adopt, or even a foster to adopt. Her life depends on it.

Story

Joy came into my life to be a companion for her sister, Lua, and they bonded from day one. They are deeply attached to each other and must be adopted together. Keeping Lua and Joy together is my biggest wish.Joy is pure happiness in dog form. She has beautiful, soulful eyes and a personality that fills a home with love, laughter, and joy. She loves affection but prefers to choose when it’s time for cuddles, which makes those moments even more special.She is the smartest dog I have ever known. At first, she can be a little shy, but once she feels safe, she gives her whole heart and becomes incredibly loving and loyal.Writing this breaks my heart. I am going through a difficult chapter in my life, and I have to think about what is best for them. My hope is to find a loving family who will cherish Lua and Joy and keep them together forever.

Details

Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Storm was picked up as a stray by animal control and taken to a high kill shelter in SC. He weighed in at only 43 pounds!! Poor thing had been on his own for a while and found himself on "death row". We pulled him from the shelter to save his life. He is with a foster (but they can't keep him much longer) and he is gaining weight and getting healthy! He now weighs over 60 pounds!! That's awesome for him. He has an appointment on the 29th to be neutered and can transport up to you the weekend after that if adopted! Storm deserves a home with a family that will love him. He would do best in a home without young children and hyper dogs as he tends to stress with "chaos". If you can provide a chill atmosphere for our boy please consider adopting him!!

Story

Meet Lua 🌙 Lua came into my life during the COVID pandemic and quickly became the sweetest companion I could have asked for. She is gentle, loving, and happiest when she’s close to her people. She loves cuddles, lap time, attention, and even enjoys bath time. Lua is incredibly smart and full of personality. She has funny little habits that make everyone smile and a loving nature that makes her easy to adore. She truly is one of the sweetest dogs I’ve ever known. Making the decision to rehome her is heartbreaking, but out of love, I know she deserves a home that can give her the stability and attention she needs. Lua has a sister, Joy, and they are deeply bonded. They have spent their lives together, and my hope is that they can be adopted as a pair so they can continue sharing the love and comfort they give each other. I’m looking for a kind, responsible family who will love Lua and Joy as much as I do. ❤️
