Story

Hope is a loving, gentle dog who’s been with us since I brought her home from my brother in New Mexico. She’s great with kids, bonds quickly, and loves staying close to her people. After moving to South Carolina, she developed allergies. She wears a cone to protect her skin and takes allergy chews, but she would thrive with someone who can help her stay comfortable long‑term. With an almost 2‑year‑old at home and a new baby on the way later this year, I know I won’t be able to give her the level of attention and care she truly needs. She does great at the groomer for nail trims and settles well with anxiety chews during storms. I’m looking for a loving home where she can get the care and attention she deserves.

Miley

Mutt

Female, Young

Sumter, SC

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Miley, our goofy, high‑energy cuddlebug who is ready to find her family. She is up to date on all shots and is a really sweet, smart girl. She LOVES playing with the kids (7-10+) we’ve never had her around smaller kids so not sure what her reaction would be), she loves to play hide and seek. Miley does have some anxiety and can be skittish around some people. She will need a family willing to be patient and gentle while she builds trust. She has been great with our kids and gets along well with one of our senior dogs, but she has not done well with our other senior dog. Because of this, we feel she will do best as the only dog, or with younger dogs. She has a lot of energy and loves to play, senior dogs don’t always appreciate that. We will pay to get her micro chipped and spayed if that is helpful. We just want to make sure that she finds a home with a family that will give her as much love and fun as she deserves!

Story

Nova Nova is a joyful, energetic Lab mix pup who brings enthusiasm into everything he does! He’s curious, playful, and happiest when he’s engaged — whether that’s chasing a ball, exploring the outdoors, or working for treats during training time. Nova was recently returned through no fault of his own. His previous home included an elderly family member, and his playful puppy energy created safety concerns. While this was a difficult decision, it gave us valuable insight into what Nova needs to thrive. Nova is: Potty trained (goes outside) Kennel trained (goes in on command and enjoys his space) Smart and already knows sit, wait, and stay Treat motivated and eager to learn Playful — loves fetch and toys Affectionate — enjoys cuddling after playtime Up to date on vaccinations He is currently teething, which means he benefits from appropriate chew outlets and supervision (like any growing puppy!). Nova would do best in: ‍ An active home‍‍ A family prepared for puppy energy A home without fragile mobility situations Nova shines bright — he just needs a home ready to grow alongside him. ##2608793##
