Story
Marnie is a 6 month old pup who currently weighs 30 pounds. She gets along great with other dogs, and once she knows you she doesn`t forget you and will be your best friend for life! Marnie is a little scared of strangers and needs some help learning that people are safe. Once she meets you she is extremely sweet and outgoing, but she may bark at strangers. She would do best in a home without young children and with another social dog to help show her how great meeting new people can be!She is currently available for adoption at our cat sanctuary in Ravenel. Appointments to meet her can be made by emailing our team at TransitionCenter@charlestonanimalsociety.org.

Story
Valentine is full of energy and is fiercely loyal. She loves to cuddle and understands boundaries. Respect her and she’ll respect you. She had been abused before and will fawn if hurt, so please don’t yell at her. She is very smart and needs enrichment. Her teeth need some help so she is on special hard food that you will get. She is apprehensive with meeting new people once she is queen of the castle (protects your home).
