Hera

Beagle

Female, 2 yrs 2 mos

Charleston, SC

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with dogs, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hera was running the streets, pregnant, scared and just about ready to give birth. Thanks to some wonderful people, they were able to trap her and get her to us so she didn't have to have her babies in the freezing cold. She gave birth to six beautiful puppies in December and has been busy in mom mode. She came to us scared and timid, and has been learning that humans aren't so bad, especially when they have pieces of chicken to share. While still skittish around new people, she is a sweet girl once you gain her trust. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out an application.

Bruno

Redbone Coonhound Hound (Unknown Type)

Male, 6 yrs 6 mos

Charleston, SC

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Bruno is an older gentleman with a gentle soul. He is a bit shy and slow to warm up to new people, so earning his trust will take a little patience - but once you do, he’s all cuddles and love. He prefers a calm, serene environment where he can feel safe and relaxed. Bruno has a naturally quiet demeanor and really enjoys having a comfy kennel of his own to retreat to. He’d be happiest in a home with children over the age of 12, since he’s not a fan of noisy crowds or lots of fast movement. He’s fully potty trained and does well with cats. He’s also fine with other laid-back dog companions, though he’s just as happy being the only furry apple of your eye making him an easy fit for a variety of homes. Fun facts: Bruno does have a little quirk with floor textures and transitions, which we fondly call one of his “tizzums.” So, if you have hardwood floors a few extra rugs may be necessary until he adjusts. It’s just part of his unique charm. And one more thing—Bruno absolutely LOVES car rides! In fact, he thinks they should be a regular part of life’s routine. If you’re looking for a calm, loving buddy who’s always up for a ride in the car, Bruno’s your guy! In terms of health, Bruno does have a couple of manageable conditions: he has diabetes insipidus and a slight thyroid imbalance. Both conditions are easily treated with twice-daily medications that are pretty inexpensive and can just be added right into his food. It’s a simple routine that keeps him happy and healthy.

Action Jackson (aka Roy)

Foxhound Hound (Unknown Type)

Male, 7 yrs 8 mos

Charleston, SC

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

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

Story

Roy, affectionately known as Action Jackson from his earlier days in 2022, is back with us through absolutely no fault of his own. He’s a happy-go-lucky guy with a bunch of puppy-like traits still shining through. Roy’s the kind of dog who will push for couch cuddles and wants to hold your hand while he snuggles. He will cheerfully share your toilet paper stash if you leave it in reach—so watch out for that! He’s also very food-motivated, which means he’s super trainable if you have treats on hand and he’s happy to clean up after your kids! On top of that, Roy is a very quiet boy. He travels well in a car (sits like a perfect passenger), walks beautifully on a leash (does not pull), and he’s amazing in a kennel (one is highly recommended to save the toilet paper!). He’ll happily sleep there or just hang out during the day without any fuss. While he does enjoy shredding a good stuffed toy or chewing a bone, he’s more of a laid-back companion. And here’s the bonus: Roy is great with cats and other calmer dogs, making him a wonderful addition to a multi-pet household. We have recently learned that this gentle boy has Cushing's disease. The symptoms are being managed with daily medication. While we know this may make it harder to find the perfect home for Roy, we know one is out there.

Beatrice

Foxhound Hound (Unknown Type)

Female, 2 yrs 4 mos

Charleston, SC

Size

(when grown) -

Details

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

Story

A ray of sunshine! Beatrice is just a happy, playful, sweet girl that lives life to the fullest. She just wants to be wherever you are. And she’s a great size only around 38 lbs. She is timid in new situations and out in public, but a different dog in a home when she feels safe. She sat in a shelter for months continuing to get overlooked. We knew the chances of her getting adopted were slim as she has a birth defect on her back left leg. After being evaluated, Beatrice had to have her leg amputated and is now a fabulous tripod. She would thrive in a home with another welcoming dog and a fenced in yard so she can do her zoomies until her heart is content. Young children can be scary for her but feel she would be fine in a home with older children. She is sure to bring you lots of love, laughter, and happiness. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out an application. We do allow out of state adoptions and any transport costs are at the expense of the adopter. If you have further questions about this dog, please email us at ccradopt@gmail.com and someone will be in touch as soon as possible.

Story

Gerald is a gentle, lanky boy who starts out a little timid, but once he knows you’re safe, he becomes your best friend. He was found by his foster family after it looked like he was dumped on their property. After trying to find who he belonged to with no luck, it was apparent someone else’s so called trash, is now a treasure! He will put his head in your hand and look at you with pure adoration. Like he truly is thankful to not be lost anymore. He loves playing with other dogs once he’s comfortable and enjoys relaxing on his bed for little naps throughout the day. He is also great with children and will make sure to follow them everywhere. He’s a big fan of walks and sniffing all the fun scents in the air. Gerald is a soft, loving boy that deserves the very best home. **This dog is heartworm positive and will be treated by the rescue and will be available for foster to adopt for a local family in or near Charleston, SC that is comfortable with the restriction requirements for the duration of treatment.
