Story

Hi I'm looking to rehome this sweet girl Zena. She is 3 years old. Loves car rides. Loves to be next to her person on the couch & she will follow you around the house. Housetrained. Gentle with children after proper introductions. Doesn't mind baths. She loves stuffed toys & is the first pittie I've;ve had that doesn't destroy her toys. She carries them around very gently. Up to date on shots. NO CATS. I thought getting another dog would help me get over the death of my last girl that died at the age of 15 years and 10 months, but I'm just feeling overwhelmed because my 3 year old boy doesn't like her and I'm having to keep them separated 24/7. This is unfair to both dogs. I'd like to get her into a loving home because I know she'll be euthanized if I take her back to the shelter. I'm in the Columbia SC area.

Story

NEED TO REHOME A SWEETHEART OF A DOG -I've been fostering Harper for about a year (bc she was very shy at first), She's a really sweet mixed-breed dog who gets along well w/ other dogs and adults. She's a bit shy at first when she meets people, but she'd probably do fine w/ older children after she gets to know them. Younger kids might take longer. -She's completely house-trained & is a perfect lady inside. Our problem is that, while we have another dog, Heidi was raised in a cage at a puppy mill & just honestly doesn't know how to play. Harper desperately wants & needs another dog to play w/, especially outside. She's very smart but has no interest in fetching a ball or stick, although she's ecstatic when I go out in the backyard w her & jumps around & play bows. Unfortunately, I'm not a dog.🙁 -I just don't think she's living her best life w me, & I want to find her a loving home w another dog where she can really enjoy herself after such a bad start in life. Are you that home?

Details

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

Story

Letting go of Rocket has been one of the hardest decisions I ever had to make. Life has become increasingly demanding between work, personal projects, and responsibilities that keep piling up, I realized I can't give my dog the time, attention, and care they truly deserve. This isn't about inconvenience it's about love. My dog is an absolute gem. Rocket is incredibly gentle, affectionate, and social. Rocket lights up around people, whether it's guests, kids, or strangers at the park. With other pets, he is just as wonderful playful but respectful, never aggressive, and always eager to make new friends. Rocket's temperament is calm, his loyalty unmatched, and his ability to bring joy into a room is something I'll miss deeply. I'm looking for someone who can offer Rocket the time, companionship, and love he thrives on. Rocket deserves a home where he is not just cared for, but cherished.
