Harper

Labrador Retriever Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Female, Adult

Columbia, SC

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

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

Story

Ive had Harper for about a year. When I got her, she was pretty much terrified of everything. It took me several weeks to get her comfortable at all in the house, and to do that, I had to tie her leash around my waist during the day and have her walk around everywhere w/ me. That worked pretty well, at least to the point where there were certain "safe" places within the house, including her bed in my bedroom, her bed in the kitchen, & the living room. Shes gotten more comfortable in the house over time, except for doorways, which for some reason have always made her nervous lol. Also, she;s always been very happy outside in the yard & on walks. I;d love to keep her myself, except I feel she really needs a more active home, preferably with another, younger dog to play with. My other dog is 12, & while they get along fine, she really doesn;t play much at all. I just don;t think my home is the right one for Harper - she;s desperate to play when she;s outside, & she needs a buddy!

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.

Nova is a sweet 6 month old pup with a big personality and an even bigger heart. I got her as a young puppy, and since then she has grown into a playful, loving, and super smart girl.

Nova enjoys going on walks, exploring outside, and being around people who give her attention and affection. I am looking for a new home where she be loved, spoiled, and given plenty of time, patience, and play. If you looking for a fun, friendly, and energetic companion, Nova will make the perfect addition to your family.

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.
