Story
Nola is pure joy! She’s a bit timid in new situations, but is learning very quickly how great life is in a home. Found as a stray at a rural shelter, you can tell she hasn’t had an easy life. We have no idea how many litters of puppies this poor girl has had. She amazes us with her gentle temperament and desire to be loved. We are enjoying watching her gain confidence and find her hound voice. She is a perfect size around 40 lbs. Nola is house and crate trained, and lets her foster mom know each day just how grateful she is to have this new start to life. **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.

Story
Pickles found herself at a shelter getting ready to give birth. Thankfully a foster stepped up and we were able to rescue this angel so she could have her pups in the comfort of a home. She has done an excellent job raising her babies and is ready to find a place to call her own. Pickles is a timid gal with a kind and gentle demeanor who needs a little time to warm up to people. **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.

Story
This peppy little nugget is seeking a best friend that she can cuddle and play with. Weather that friend has 2 legs or 4, she would not mind. Having the look of a walker and the size of a large beagle she is a perfect size for a smaller home, car rides, sharing your bed or snuggling in your recliner. Miss Pippa is very fun loving with other dogs and incredibly submissive.She will happily let her hound friends chew her ears, share her bone and her kennel or bed. So far, her house manners have been great. But, with some puppy energy still running through her, she will chew things that look “tasty” if left unattended and bored. Her kennel manners are pretty good. She will happily sleep through the night but does so much better if her kennel can at least be in your room. While she may be a smaller package, she has an amazing bark that has baritone that could shame a St. Bernard. While she does play quietly and does not use her voice often, she will let you know if UPS or FedEx are outside and loves to challenge the train horn as it goes by. While this little nugget may be apartment sized, she may not be an amazing fit for long term apartment living.  **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.

Story
Are you looking for a ride or die snuggle buddy? Well look no further. Bruno is a redbone coonhound looking for his fur-ever family. This handsome weirdo is WONDERFUL with other dogs and cats although he would be just as happy to be your only friend. Bruno sometimes has resource guarding issues and would do best in a home with older children. Bruno has done very well with learning all the basic house manners and leash walking. The thrill of a car ride or a leisurely stroll are the highlight of his day. He is very eager to please and does not always understand the concept of personal space and loves to throw his weight  around  your lap. Bruno does well in a kennel or left to his own devices to snuggle on a couch or cozy bed.  Bruno just needs a tender touch, space, and patience to grow and trust his new family. Once he knows he is safe, he's the biggest, loving hippo ever! Bruno has a rare medical condition called Diabetes Insipidus which is easily treated by daily medication (this is a water intake condition, not a glucose issue). 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
This handsome lemon beagle is a shy guy, but warms up fairly quickly to us humans. He was brought to a shelter after his foot was caught in a fox trap. He's settling in to a foster home, learning all the ins and outs of being a well-loved canine. He does find comfort with his foster siblings and would do best in a home with another dog. **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.
