Story
*ISABELLA IS A CAUCASIAN SHEPHERD. BREED EXPERIENCE WILL BE REQUIRED FOR ADOPTERS*    Meet Isabella!  Izzy is a sweet, soulful pup who's blossoming a little more every day. This mellow girl moves at her own gentle pace, taking the world in with curious eyes and a wagging tail. Clumsy in the most adorable way, Izzy is still finding her footing — sometimes literally!   She's learning the ropes of her new routine, discovering that mealtimes are magical and nap spots are even better when shared with her furry friends. Izzy is slowly but surely warming up to playtime with her new dog and cat foster siblings, each game of chase and sniff bringing out more of her playful side.   With every wag and wiggle, Izzy is growing braver, learning that love, friendship, and a little patience can go a long way.   She is spayed, microchipped, dewormed, and current with all vaccines (as appropriate for her age) and on flea and heartworm prevention. Isabella is currently being fostered in South Carolina.   ADOPT ISABELLA!! www.LuckyPupRescueSC.com The adoption fee is $375.00 and we require a vet check and home visit. May 13, 2026, 5:50 pm

Story
Leonna was taken into a high kill shelter in Salisbury, NC where her deadline quickly approached. For the past year she has been in boarding with no interest in a forever family- boarding facility is closing May 24th and Leonna has no where to go. She does great with other dogs, as long as proper introduction is done, kids and inside a home- however, she does not prefer feline friends.
