Story
My name is Gunther.  It means Warrior.  I’m a little older guy who’s been through some stuff.  When I came here, I was so sick.  I had an upper-respiratory infection, a urinary tract infection, hookworms, heartworms, knee problems…I was so tired…I could barely walk and I was about 20 pounds under weight.  I battled back because I am a warrior.  But they tell me I’m also a goofball.  I like laying on the couch with my people; naps are my favorite thing. And food.  I like that a lot.  My people have cats and the little ones are fun to watch (sometimes the big ones are scary, even for a warrior).  Life is pretty good now, but I think I’d like my own person; one I don’t have to share with so many others.  Would you be my person?  Email AnimalRescueCarolina@yahoo.com to request an application.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 1, 2023, 8:50 am

Story
FALL IN LOVE! I'm Starlight and my adorable factor is through the roof! I'm just waiting for you to come adopt me! I've never won a dog show, never rescued anyone from a well, and to tell the truth, never did anything heroic. I do love to play, love to have my belly rubbed and give GRADE A blue ribbon kisses. I love treats and toys and even tolerate baths (but I still don't understand why I have to take one). I'm stuck here so please come and rescue me and maybe someday you'll find I was able to rescue you. Starlight is spayed and looking for a forever home. The adoption fee includes age appropriate vaccinations and deworming, Frontline application, spay or neuter surgery, collar, ID tag and a leash.  A $35 (non-refundable) deposit will hold the pet for you for 5 days.  The Shelter is open Tuesday and Thursday from 10 am to 4 pm, Wednesday from 10 am to 12 pm, Friday from 10 am to 3 pm, the first and third Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm and by appointment. Call 803-536-3918 for more information or email at: adopt@orangeburgspca.org  September 29, 2023, 8:35 pm

Story
Carmen is such a sweetheart! I sat down on the stool to take her pics…she just wanted to be petted…when I stood up she went back to the stool & jumped up looking at me as if to coax me back & say…please sit back down for more pets. Always gazing at you with such loving eyes. She walks great on a leash too. She is an American bulldog mix. Carman is heartworm negative and is about 3 years old.

Story
SPECIAL NEEDS BOY IN KINGS MOUNTAIN NC WAITS FOR HIS FOREVER HOME Dakota is a perfect boy! His sweetness is infectious. As soon as you meet him, his eyes reach into your heart and steal it away. He just has so much love to give, he's practically bursting at the seams! But little Dakota is different from other dogs. He's hearing impaired and because he can't hear that well, he uses visual signals to understand and learn. He's completely obedience trained and takes visual cues just like hearing dogs take voice commands. Take a look at the video below if you'd like to see just how smart he is when he goes through the paces with his trainer. But when he's not training or sniffing out a new scent, he just wants to snuggle up in your lap. If you're looking for a best bud, Dakota is your guy. Dakota would do best in a low key home where he can get used to a routine. He is timid around some men but with a little time to realize he is safe, he comes around. His foster mom said he's the perfect house guest. He always does his business outside, never chewed anything, is good in the crate and quiet. He has known to be dog selective at the kennel but in the foster's home, he got along great with his foster sister who is a confident, non-reactive dog. They played well together and Dakota was respectful of her, never trying to take her food and waiting for her to get a treat before he did even though he is food motivated. He did well walking on a leash in the neighborhood and is as quiet as a mouse riding in the car. Dakota is neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative and microchipped.

These pups are in Columbia, South Carolina too!

Story
We adopted Harper in February of 2017 when she was two years old as a companion for our first dog, Cabo. She won our hearts and will do anything to win yours. In May of that year, she was attacked on her leash by an off leash dog and has had dog reactive issues since. However, until recently, that did not extend towards our other dog. In Summer of 2021 her resource (food, toys, and most of all attention) guarding instinct was retriggered. We did attempt training which was successful for about 6 months, but our new living situation eliminates a lot of the solutions we found. Harper is as loyal as they come. She wants to be the apple of a family's eye. She loves snuggles and pets and wants, and honestly needs, to be the one and only doggo in the house. Her affection is top notch, but the resource guarding has given our other dog no quality of life. We know she will make some family so so happy. We are determined to find her a family worthy of those sweet eyes.

Astro is a big puppy who loves attention and has energy.  He lives with cats and dogs and sometimes annoys the cats as he is very close up interested and wants them to play with him, or maybe chase them. Who knows what is in Astro?  Probably a little Boxer and those ears are Kangaroo.  He is spotty and has someone else's body.He had some leg injuries when we found him but has had surgery and he is fine and happy now. He likes to talk and will tell you when it's dinner time. He needs a fenced yard or someone who will walk him. email us at animalrescuecarolina@yahoo.com with any questions or, Copy and paste the link below for application:https://forms.gle/Artd1X4hK4EunfCz9Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 1, 2023, 8:50 am

Story
Friendly was found wandering the streets and had obviously recently weaned puppies. True to her name, she is very people-friendly!  About 1 1/2 years old, she’s a great companion, extremely affectionate and loves attention!  She’s crate trained and would thrive in a home with previous dog experience who can provide a stable, consistent routine. Although good with children, due to her size and strength, we’d suggest children older than 10.  She also needs to be an only pet since she wants all the love and attention!! Friendly is heart worm positive but currently being treated.  Email AnimalRescueCarolina@yahoo.com to request an application. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 1, 2023, 8:50 am
