🐾 Meet Kevin – Your Happy-Go-Lucky Adventure Buddy! 📍 Lexington, SC Name: Kevin Age: 4 years Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier Weight: 63 lbs Neutered/Vaccinated: Yes! UTD on rabies, DHPP, Bordetella, HW & flea prevention, neutered & microchipped ✅ ✅ Good with: Female dogs: Great! Male dogs: Has only disliked one (a relative) Cats? Can be tested if needed 🐱 Kids? Sweet with people, but may be too bouncy for toddlers due to high energy ⚠️ Medical Notes: Has a flea allergy – needs to stay on flea prevention during warm months 🌿 🏠 House/Crate Trained: Yes! Just needs to be crated when left alone 🧡 Personality: Kevin is a sweet, friendly, people-loving goofball! He’s always excited to see his humans and loves playing with doggy friends.

🧡 Meet Penny: The Mystery Mix with a Heart of Gold 📍 Location: Lexington, SC 🐾 Name: Penny 🎂 Age: 2 years (Estimated DOB: 5/28/23) 🐶 Breed Guess: Carolina Dog? Jack Russell? Feist? Terrier? Honestly, no vet agrees — she’s a one-of-a-kind cutie and next on our DNA test list! ⚖️ Size: About 40 lbs 🚺 Sex: Female ✂️ Spayed: Yes 💉 Vaccines: UTD on Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella 🧪 Health: Heartworm negative, microchipped, and current on heartworm & flea prevention 🐾 Gets Along With: ✅ Dogs: Loves other dogs — friendly with every dog she’s met ✅ Kids: Great with children ❓ Cats: Was previously fine with cats — we’re happy to cat test again if needed! 💔 Why She’s Looking for a Home: Penny was found as a stray and later adopted — but unfortunately returned when she grew bigger than the adopter expected. Now she’s ready for a forever home that loves her just the way she is. 🏡 Training & Preferences: ✅ House Trained: Yes 🏠 Crate Trained: Yes — but she does best with indoor/outdoor access (like a doggy door) as she still gets anxious in a crate when contained & left alone 💖 Personality: Penny is affectionate, upbeat, and eager to please. She has a sweet soul and just wants to be loved. Her energy level is moderate — she can be a little hyper at times, but she knows basic cues like “sit” and “down” and is very treat-motivated, making her a great candidate for further training. She walks beautifully on a leash and has shown nothing but friendliness toward everyone she meets — both human and canine. Penny would thrive in a home that can offer her companionship, structure, and the space to stretch her legs (and personality!). 📩 Interested? Send me a message with her name (Penny) so I know who you're inquiring about — I’m helping rehome multiple animals right now. ✔️ Adoption application & contract required to ensure she goes to a safe, loving home.

Story

✨ STILL AVAILABLE! ✨ Meet the handsome Thoreo (Thor + Oreo) 🐾 — a gentle, goofy boy still searching for his forever home! If you can’t adopt, please share to help him find his people ❤️ 📍 Location: Lexington, SC 🐾 Name: Thoreo 🎂 Age: ~1 year 🐕 Breed: Great Pyrenees – currently 65 lbs (he came to us severely underweight, which may have slightly stunted his growth). Appears purebred — double rear dewclaws ✅, GP-standard coat and eye color — though not DNA-confirmed. ♂️ Sex: Male 💉 Vetting: Neutered, microchipped, up to date on rabies, DHLPP, and Bordetella; heartworm negative; current on flea & heartworm prevention; and dewormed. 👧🐶🐱 Good with: Dogs, cats, and kids — friendly with everyone but still has puppy energy, so supervision is best with very young children. He has not been tested around chickens or other livestock. ⚕️ Aggression or medical issues?: None 💖 He can come off intimidating at first because he’s a loud talker and will bark when meeting new animals — classic Pyrenees alerting behavior! But he’s never been reactive or aggressive. He was fully tested with a dominant alpha male who quickly had him submitting calmly, and there were no issues afterward. 🏡 House/crate trained?: Fully house trained. He’s never needed a crate — enjoys outdoor time in true Pyrenees fashion when unsupervised. 💛 Personality: Thoreo is an affectionate, well-mannered boy who loves people and attention. He’ll sit politely for brushing (his favorite activity — except his tail ✂️) and is very food-motivated… just not a fan of veggies 🥦🚫. Walks nicely on leash with only gentle pulls here and there. He was raised as a pet, not a livestock guardian, so he doesn’t show strong “working” instincts yet — but that could develop as he matures. He loves dog friends and would thrive in a home with another playful companion. 🌟 A secure fenced yard is required for his safety and happiness — Pyrenees love to explore! 📩 Message or comment if interested! Please include Thoreo’s name in your message, as I’m assisting with multiple rescues. 📝 Adoption application & contract required to ensure a loving, responsible home.

💙 STILL AVAILABLE — 1.5 YEARS LATER! Lip: 75 Pounds of Love, Laughter, and Endless Energy 📍 Location: Lexington, SC 🐾 Name: Lip 🎂 Age: ~1.5 years old (DOB: 9/24/23) 🐶 Breed: Bully Mix ⚖️ Size: ~75 lbs of pure wiggles and zoomies 🚹 Sex: Male ✂️ Spayed/Neutered/Shots: Neutered, microchipped, and up to date on Rabies, DHLPP, and Bordetella 🧪 Health: Heartworm negative and current on both heartworm & flea prevention 🐾 Good with dogs, cats, and/or kids: ✅ Dogs: Excellent with dogs of all sizes 🐱 Cats: Likely fine, but his energy makes it hard to safely test — may chase if overstimulated 👧 Kids: Friendly but may be too much for small children due to his excitement level 🚫 Aggression or medical issues?: None — just the happiest, most excitable boy you’ll ever meet 🛟 Reason for rehoming?: Rescue intake — still searching for his forever home after 1.5 years 🏡 House/crate trained?: ✅ House trained 🏠 Familiar with kennel setups but not formally crate trained Additional info/story (personality): Lip is the definition of a lovable goofball — all heart, all energy, all the time. He’s a social butterfly who adores people and dogs alike, and he truly wants to be your best friend. His biggest challenge? He just doesn’t know how big or bouncy he is! He needs more than daily walks — a fenced yard, frequent dog park visits, or an active owner will be key to keeping this boy happy and healthy. Because he burns energy so fast, he also does best on a high-calorie, high-protein food; otherwise, he’ll start to look too lean even with regular meals. 💬 Note on temperament: Lip is extremely shy around men at first due to past mistreatment before rescue. He won’t willingly approach new men right away — it usually takes a couple of hours of calm interaction before he feels safe enough to engage. Once that trust is earned, though, he bonds deeply and loves just as fiercely as he plays. Lip knows how to be good — he just has ants in his pants and finds “calm” to be the hardest command. He’ll reward your patience with loyalty, laughter, and love every single day. 📩 Message/comment if interested. Please include his name (“Lip”) when messaging — I’m helping several animals find homes right now. 📝 Adoption application & contract required to ensure a safe, loving, and lasting placement.
