Story
A beagle on wheels!  The smile on Margot's face would never reveal the horrors that got her to where she is today.  Margot was surrendered to the shelter with no use of her rear end after she had been dragging herself around for FOUR MONTHS!  She had the sores and rashes to prove it.  While we will never know what happened to her, we know that she has a will to thrive and live her very best life!  She is currently going to physical therapy twice a week to see if she can regain some function of her rear legs, but she is adapting well to her wheelchair and loves her evening walks, where she is quite the neighborhood celebrity :) Margot does need to have her bladder expressed 3-4 times per day as she does not seem to have the ability to urinate on her own readily.  But she doesn't mind at all! 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. Please note we are unable to hold dogs for adopters as this ties up valuable foster homes. Please understand that we are an all volunteer group and we have jobs outside of this organization.  We do our best to provide quick responses but occasionally they are a little slower.  If you do not receive a response in 48 hours, please resend to make sure it's received. ##2101484##

She is NOT available for to people not local to Charleston, SC until her treatment is completed in November.

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 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 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
He has been thriving in his foster home after spending 135 days in a shelter. This 2-year-old handsome hunk with the puppy dog eyes is an absolute gem! He didn’t waste any time making himself comfortable from the first day he arrived.Thatcher loves to go for walks, rides well in the car, enjoys his time lounging in the yard and playing with his foster siblings. He is house and crate trained and even gets along with cats. We learned he has elevated kidney levels and after doing an ultrasound Thatcher has been diagnosed with renal dysplasia, where his kidneys never formed properly. The good news – with a prescription diet food along with blood pressure meds, he’s doing great! In the four months he has been with us – he is an outwardly happy, loving boy. If bloodwork had not been done, you wouldn’t know anything was going on internally. To help his new adopters adjust to Thatcher's food and medicine, we will be offering a year supply of medication and food included in his adoption fee. We are now on the hunt to find him the perfect home. If interested in giving Thatcher his forever home, fill out an application. Please understand that we are an all volunteer group and we have jobs outside of this organization.  We do our best to provide quick responses but occasionally they are a little slower.  If you do not receive a response in 48 hours, please resend to make sure it's received. ##2063859##

Story
Comrade is a product of divorce, where his parents were splitting and one day he got loose and the people said they didn't want him anymore thankfully a kind person knew this boy deserved better and stepped up to foster him until his true forever home can be found.  He's past his puppy years and knows the value of a soft bed and maybe a bite of your steak if you're feeling generous.  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.
