UTD on rabies, DHPP, Bordetella, HW & flea prevention, neutered & microchipped ✅ ✅ Good with: Female dogs: Great! Male dogs: Has only disliked one (a relative) Cats? Can be tested if needed 🐱 Kids? Sweet with people, but may be too bouncy for toddlers due to high energy ⚠️ Medical Notes: Has a flea allergy – needs to stay on flea prevention during warm months 🌿 🏠 House/Crate Trained: Yes!

💙 STILL AVAILABLE — 1.5 YEARS LATER! Lip: 75 Pounds of Love, Laughter, and Endless Energy 📍 Location: Lexington, SC 🐾 Name: Lip 🎂 Age: ~1.5 years old (DOB: 9/24/23) 🐶 Breed: Bully Mix ⚖️ Size: ~75 lbs of pure wiggles and zoomies 🚹 Sex: Male ✂️ Spayed/Neutered/Shots: Neutered, microchipped, and up to date on Rabies, DHLPP, and Bordetella 🧪 Health: Heartworm negative and current on both heartworm & flea prevention 🐾 Good with dogs, cats, and/or kids: ✅ Dogs: Excellent with dogs of all sizes 🐱 Cats: Likely fine, but his energy makes it hard to safely test — may chase if overstimulated 👧 Kids: Friendly but may be too much for small children due to his excitement level 🚫 Aggression or medical issues?: None — just the happiest, most excitable boy you’ll ever meet 🛟 Reason for rehoming?: Rescue intake — still searching for his forever home after 1.5 years 🏡 House/crate trained?: ✅ House trained 🏠 Familiar with kennel setups but not formally crate trained Additional info/story (personality): Lip is the definition of a lovable goofball — all heart, all energy, all the time. He’s a social butterfly who adores people and dogs alike, and he truly wants to be your best friend. His biggest challenge? He just doesn’t know how big or bouncy he is! He needs more than daily walks — a fenced yard, frequent dog park visits, or an active owner will be key to keeping this boy happy and healthy. Because he burns energy so fast, he also does best on a high-calorie, high-protein food; otherwise, he’ll start to look too lean even with regular meals. 💬 Note on temperament: Lip is extremely shy around men at first due to past mistreatment before rescue. He won’t willingly approach new men right away — it usually takes a couple of hours of calm interaction before he feels safe enough to engage. Once that trust is earned, though, he bonds deeply and loves just as fiercely as he plays. Lip knows how to be good — he just has ants in his pants and finds “calm” to be the hardest command. He’ll reward your patience with loyalty, laughter, and love every single day. 📩 Message/comment if interested. Please include his name (“Lip”) when messaging — I’m helping several animals find homes right now. 📝 Adoption application & contract required to ensure a safe, loving, and lasting placement.

I was saved off the e-list in a kill shelter simply because I was skinny and had heart worms. I was only 9 months old! After being saved, I was treated right away and I am one HAPPY and healthy boy!💙 I have been with an amazing foster that has prepped me for my new life. I play like a kindergartener with other dogs. I am a goofy and silly love bug. I love walks, rides, playing ball and being a couch potato. I will do well in most any setting. I prefer an active parent or family. I have been spayed, microchipped, fully vetted with regular checkups, and cleared of any health concerns. I am Ready to ROCK!

Adopt me! Carl is a fat lap dog! He is a couch potato professional. He loves walks, car rides and cuddles. He’s well behaved and does as he is asked. He’s even good for a bath. He can use a little weight loss and knows you can spend leach time and play time to help him achieve a 5-8 pound loss. He is highly motivated, with or without treats! He loves hugs and kisses and will let you know when one is due. He’s silly and goofy, letting you see his bowl is empty when he brings it to you.

Story
Buddy is a sweet and gentle giant. Although short, he is stout. We estimate he is about five years young and very vibrant and affectionate. He likes walks, but not hikes. He’s more of a couch potato. He is very strong, yet calm and easy to handle. He loves young children. Their attention makes him very happy! He can be dog selective as an unaltered male attacked him and injured his eye. It has completely healed and is not painful. His vision is lost in that eye but he still tracks so vets said he was fine to let heal and move forward. It’s part of his charm. He will cuddle on the couch, ride in the car, lay in your lap and sit well for treats. He will make a great companion. He needs a foster to grant him a safe place away from other dogs that don’t like his submissive nature. He is in SC and transport is available.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact Main Email CARE (caretoadopt@gmail.com), (803) 622-9813 for more information about this pet. The most accurate and up to date information about adoptable pets is on our official website at www.caretoadopt.org. Meet Kylo!Adoption Fee: $75Kylo is super sweet, but can take a little time to warm up to a new person. Kylo loves attention, gets attached quickly, loves belly rubs and cuddles. We don't know how he is with other dogs or cats. Kylo was fine with 2 large dogs where he wandered up (he was around them for about 2 days). He is reactive at the boarding facility where he lives, however, that is not the best indicator. For this reason, it's best to find him a home as the only pet. Ever heard of a 'heart dog?' This boy is someone's heart and soul, loyal to the ends of the earth, ride or die. Kylo would be an excellent companion for someone who is looking for a friend for life.Please consider giving this beautiful boy a forever home. He will definitely steal your heart! A completed adoption application and home visit are required for approval to adopt a CARE dog. Out of state adoptions okay. All dogs receive a distemper/parvovirus vaccine(s), kennel cough vaccine, rabies vaccine, dewormer, monthly heartworm prevention, flea & tick prevention and treatment if needed, microchip, and are spayed/neutered through CARE.The most accurate and complete information about available dogs can be found on our official website at www.caretoadopt.org.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.www.caretoadopt.org Adoption saves lives!
