Story
Pre-Adoption only!! Earliest Day for pick up is 6/10/23 (8 weeks) Location: West Columbia, SC Name: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto Age: 6 weeks (DOB: 4/15/23) Breed: Mom is coonhound, German shepherd, akita, mix (DNA tested). Assumed dad is pictured at the end; all we know is that he is a medium breed mix. Pups currently weight between 5.5 - 8 lbs putting grown weights roughly between 42-76 lbs. Most were 7 lbs putting their size roughly between 54.6-66.7 lbs grown. M/F: 6 M; 2 F (specified under photos) Spayed/Neutered/Shots: will get first round of DHPP on 6/9/23. Have been dewormed with clear fecal at vet. Good with dogs, cats, and/or kids: They’ve been fine with everyone they’ve met so far. Haven’t cat tested but are young and should adjust fine and can cat test per specific pup if requested. Aggression or medical issues?: No aggression issues. Only one with medical is Pluto and stated in description under his photos. Mom is heartworm positive so make sure to start prevention prior to 6 months (canNOT be passed from mother to pups, only if mosquito bites her and then pup but it takes 6 months to develop so as long as heartworm prevention is started before 6 months there is 0 risk). Reason for rehoming?: mom has been a stray running for 4+ years that no one was able to catch. We finally caught her during her last pregnancy a couple days before birth. She is scheduled to be spayed and treated for heart worms and then rehomed as well. She is VERY sweet, just had a hard life. House/crate trained?: not house trained but should adjust fast since raised outside since mom isn’t comfy indoors yet. Should crate train fast as well since they have been raised in a large pen. Additional info/story (personality): All pups are EXTREMELY sweet as I have been working with them from birth. I have further specifics on personality in description and can get any further info needed. There is no runt in this litter as mom is a bit older and immunocompromised due to heart worms so the runt passed early on. Everyone in the litter passed the vet with flying colors besides Pluto but his are just things to be aware of for his future, nothing that will affect his lifespan or day to day life. Message/comment if interested. Make sure if you message me to include the animal’s name since I have a lot of rescues I am trying to help rehome at the moment. Adoption application & contract required to ensure good home and remaining vetting is completed.

Story
I found Thor when he was about 6 weeks old and felt bad but didn't realize he was going to be so big. My dog is 14 and wants nothing to do with him and does not like playing with him. I'm 67 and realize he needs to be in a home with other young dogs he can play with and kids. I got him all of his shots and he has been going to training at pet smart on garners ferry road and has 5 classes left coming on June 2nd every Satuarday at 11am.

Story
This profile is for Tucker or Lukey. Both are German sheperds. Tucker is 3 years old and Lukey is 8 months. I'm possibly moving soon and unsure of pet arrangements and also I'm unable to give them the attention they need. German sheperds are very much pack dogs and want to be with their person always. Hoping to find someone that can spend a lot of time with them and keep them happy!

Story
Lily became homeless last year due to her owner, a Disabled Veteran, who was having to be hospitalized. She was not potty trained at all and her behavior was "happy-feral" around everyone, 100% of the time. We knew we wanted her to go to a great home as she has an adorable personality, very spunky and fun, so we took 4 week class at The Leash Connection in Lexington. She did really great, and has come a LONG way to being a "Good Dog". She's a puppy that needs kids and lots of "back-yard" time. She's very much an alpha female, a strong herder, listens fairly well and good with other dogs. She plays/retrieves tennis balls better than any dog I've ever known.Lily is part of our Ambassador's Program. Although they are not a Pawmetto Lifeline dog, they have received the same high standards of care. Vaccinations and spay/neuter are included in the adoption fee. Pawmetto Lifeline wants every animal to have a chance to find a loving home. If an animal is abandoned or needs to be re-homed, we can assist people by providing medical care, marketing and training if the individual fosters the animal.Please contact us at adoption@pawmettolifeline.org if you would like to meet an Ambassador Animal.

Story
Sasha is looking for a new home. A home where her owners are loving, caring, and can provide her the attention that she needs. She is very affectionate & protective. It could take her some time to get adjusted because she was not socialized as a puppy, my family is all she knows being that we have raised her since she was 8 weeks old, but once she gets comfortable, she is the most loving. She has anxiety, does not play well with other dogs/cats and does not do well with storms, or loud noises (fireworks, gunshots). As long as she has her own little confined space to curl up, she’ll be good! She loves loves loves to play with a squeaky ball. She does not care to be outside too long, she is definitely an inside dog who just wants her own personal space to chill. She’s a very chill dog lol the chillest german shepherd I’ve ever known lol. Overall, Sasha would make a great addition to anyone who has experience with dogs and who is willing to provide the love & attention she needs.
