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. March 16, 2026, 12:18 am

Story
Hi! I’m Fynn!  I’m a handsome 10-to-12-week-old black and tan German Shepherd puppy looking for a loving family to call my very own! Right now, I’m going through that adorable German Shepherd puppy stage where my ears can’t quite decide what they want to do. One day they’re standing tall and proud, and the next day one—or maybe both—might flop over again. But don’t worry, they have already stood up beautifully, so I’m not concerned when they take a little break here and there! My foster says watching a German Shepherd puppy’s ears go up and down is one of the cutest and funniest parts of watching us grow. Apparently, my ears provide plenty of entertainment around here! LOL Of course, there is much more to love about me than my ever-changing ears. I’m not only handsome—I’m also very smart, loving, and loyal. I’m a playful little boy with a curious mind who is eager to learn and ready to become someone’s devoted best friend. I’m searching for a family who will teach me, play with me, take me on adventures, and let me grow up right by their side. In return, I promise to love you with my whole heart and remain faithfully by your side throughout all of life’s adventures. If you’re looking for a smart, loyal best friend who will fill your home with puppy kisses, silly moments, and plenty of ear updates, I may be the perfect little boy for you! Email to Request an Adoption Application to Murphy@NewBeginningsRescue.com Could we grow up together?  Love, Fynn     New Beginnings Shepherd Rescue is a 22 year, foster based, dedicated team of volunteers who work tirelessly to help adoptable German Shepherds, and a few other breeds, find loving homes. Many of our dogs come from high-kill shelters, so we may not have a lot of background information, but we make it a priority to get to know each dog and share what we learn with you. These wonderful dogs have, more often than not, been loyal family pets and have lost their homes through no fault of their own.  If you’re interested in giving one of these amazing dogs a forever home, please request an adoption application at Murphy@NewBeginningsRescue.com, and we’ll send it right away. Don’t forget to mention which dog you’d like to meet, and we’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have. Once you complete the application and return it, if you haven’t heard from us in three days, just send us a gentle reminder, and we’ll get back to you.  Open your heart, and you’ll receive unconditional love in return!September 10, 2026, 6:51 pm
