Story
Tito is incredibly sweet, affectionate, playful, and loves attention. He has such a big personality packed into a tiny body and loves being close to his people. After a lot of thought, I feel he would do best in a different environment that better fits his needs. He would likely be happiest as an only pet, or possibly with just one other dog. He has been showing some behaviors that make me feel a quieter home may be the best fit for him. This decision was not made lightly at all, and I want to make sure he goes somewhere safe, loving, and permanent. I’m looking for the right home, not just any home. Serious inquiries only please. Please message me for more information.

Story
Bought Champ from a credible breeder in the Charleston area. He is 4 years old. He is very nice to people, sometimes too excited. He does bark at people/cars passing by our yard when he is out but other than that he does not bark all that much. In his new home, I just hope he is comfortable and can spend a lot of time with people. I also hope I can visit and drop off treats for the future owner.

Story
This is Cow, she's 12 years old, we've had her since she was about 4 and we adopted her when she was abandaned at a pet grooming place that we frequently took our other dog to. She's been a great dog, but in her old age she is aggressive towards our other dog and does not do well around small children which we now have. She will do best in a home with a single adult or adult couple. She enjoys a calm and quiet environment and will be happy just sitting at your feet at the end of a long day. She is house trained and crate trained. She's very loving and just a little stingy with that love, she is not willing to share with other pets or small children.

Story
Nyla will be a year old on April 27th. She love to be outside, play fetch, play tug of war, and she’s energetic. So a home with a decent sized yard would be amazing for her. She also loves to cuddle up next to you under a blanket. She loves belly rubs and butt scratches. She is sweet and just loves to be around people and get attention

This is Sheba, she is over a year old! Her birthday is December 4th she is a mix of 8 different breads and she is super playful, loving and loves to cuddle. I rescued her from someone who didn’t know how to raise a dog and I have had her since April 4th 2025 and since then she has learned to sit, lay, shake, and balance a treat on her muzzle.

Story
Hello everyone, I’ve had Loki for 3 years now. He’s a purebred German shepherd with akc certification. Hes also been neutered. I’m rehoming him because of schedule conflicts. I work out of town a lot and I’m unable to keep him anymore. He’s a great dog, loves the outdoors, and has had extensive training. He would come with a large crate, dog food bin, puzzle bowl, toys, treats, 40lb bag of dog food, and a watering station.
