Story
June is one of August's precious pups that is available for pre-adoption and can go home at 8 weeks of age. She has received age appropriate vaccines and dewormings.

We do not place puppies on transport and she will need to be picked up in Charleston, SC. 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.

Story
Ella Rae is full of love and personality! This speckled beauty is sure to steal your heart. You can tell she is appreciative of her second chance and is living each day to the fullest. Ella Rae adores her canine foster friends and sometimes has a tough time deciding if she cuddles up next to one of them or the human. Decisions. Decisions.   Ella Rae can be nervous in new situations but acts like she pays the mortgage in her foster home. She is a great size at only 35 lbs. She would do best in a home with a friendly canine companion and a fenced in yard to play chase in. We also feel she would be fine in a home with older children. Ella Rae came to us with an old leg injury that has been evaluted and she has shown us that it doesn't slow her down at all. She is the sweetest girl and someone will be very lucky to make her part of their family.
