Story
Ace – Our Longest Waiting Boy My name is Ace, and I’ve been at the Orangeburg SPCA longer than any other dog. I’m 6 years old, and while I’ve watched so many of my shelter friends find their happy endings, I’m still here… waiting. I was rescued from a hoarding situation where I never truly knew love or care. Because my case had to go through the courts, I wasn’t even available for adoption at first. By the time I finally was, it felt like the world had moved on without me. I can’t help but wonder if that wait cost me my chance at a family. I’ll admit, I’m not perfect. I have trust issues, and I don’t always want to share my toys—after all, I never had much to call my own. I also take daily medication to control seizures, so I’ll need a family who can commit to keeping me safe and healthy. But beneath it all, I’m still just a dog who desperately wants what every dog dreams of: love, safety, and a place to belong. Even at my “old age,” I’ve still got plenty of pep in my step—I LOVE to run and could chase a tennis ball all day long. That goofy, playful side of me is still very much alive, and I’m ready to share it with the right family. Everyone at the shelter loves me and wants me to find my perfect family. They’ve promised to work with my new family in any way they can—before, during, and after adoption—to help me succeed. Because of my long stay and some Malinois-like tendencies, I won’t be adopted out immediately. Instead, the shelter will require several visits with me, with staff supervising, to make sure both me and my new family feel comfortable before I go home. I am neutered, up to date on vaccines, and ready for a new chapter. I’m also open to being pulled by a rescue who believes they can help me find the right home. Please, don’t let me spend another birthday in a kennel. I’ve waited longer than anyone, and all I want is someone to finally choose me. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Orangeburg SPCA – 225 Ruf Road, Orangeburg, SC 803-536-3918 | aro.spca@outlook.com Hours to meet me: Monday–Friday: 10 AM – 4 PM Wednesday: 10 AM - 2 PM Saturday: 10 AM – 4 PM Closed Sunday Appointments outside of operating hours. Please share Ace’s story—help us find this sweet boy the family (or rescue) he’s been dreaming of. October 7, 2025, 10:45 am

Story
Aries is a sweet boy! He does have stranger danger, so he is nervous when first meeting people. But once you're his people he will protect his family. He would do best with no children since he does have Shepherd personality. He does like dogs but would need a meet and greet with other dogs. German Shepherd experience needed

Story
New Beginnings Shepherd Rescue is a volunteer based rescue, we work very hard to help as many adoptable GSDs as possible. Most of our dogs come from high kill shelters across the country, so sadly we do not have any background information on them.....but we work very hard to get to know each and every dog brought into our program in need of a new beginning in their lives. We do not take animals with aggression problems (some may not like other dogs, cats, or may require older kids as opposed to younger children, but we will let you know everything that we know) most of these beautiful dogs have been faithful and loving family pets for their entire lives, yet still have lost their homes and families through no fault of their own. If you are interested in opening your heart and home to one of these amazing dogs please fill out our adoption application at https://www.newbeginningsrescue.com/adoption-application and we will get back in touch after we get it processed. If you don't hear from us in 3 days, please send us a gentle reminder and one of us will get right on it. Please indicate the dog you are interested in meeting, where it says preference on the application! You may also email julie@newbeginningsrescue.com , we are always happy to answer any questions you may have. If you give them your heart, they will give you theirs.  December 3, 2025, 3:23 pm

Found her on the side of the road. We tried to find her original home nothing turned up. She needs a home we have been fostering for about 5 months and needs a tentative home. It just needs to be her in the home. She is great with kids and is 50/50 with other dogs. She is super sweet just hyper and needs work. She is spayed, potty trained, and knows some tricks. We have tried to make it work but it’s just not working out for us.

Story
Meet Barefoot Contessa! This sweet senior shepherd came to us from another shelter, and she’s estimated to be around 10 years old. Contessa is ready to find a cozy couch to call her own and spend her days lounging in comfort. She gets along well with other dogs and enjoys their company, but her true love is people. Contessa is all about comfort and would be happiest in a home where she can relax and enjoy the good life. She loves to be pampered, bathed, and just all around loved on. Contessa has spent time in a foster home, mastering potty training, leash skills, and household manners. If you’re looking for a laid-back companion who just wants to enjoy her golden years, Contessa might be the perfect fit for you! We promised Barefoot Contessa that the rest of her life, would be the best of her life. Could that be with you? ***APPLY TO ADOPT: finalvictoryrescue.com*** We provide meet-and-greets by appointment with an application on file.
