Story
Sweet 14 y/o Prodigy found himself on the euthanasia list at the local kill shelter where he came in as a stray (in bad shape). He clearly wasn’t well taken care of - he was a emaciated, had gooey/drippy eyes, scabs on his skin and patches of missing fur, so it’s no surprise that nobody came looking for him. :’-( We couldn’t let this poor soul’s life end in a cold, uncaring place so he was pulled from the shelter in the knick of time and sent for testing at the vet where it was determined that he has advanced kidney/liver disease and is likely in congestive heart failure. We honestly do not know how much time he has left - it could be a few days or it could be a few months. We are desperately seeking a kind-hearted, compassionate soul who is touched by his story and his sad face and who is willing to make sure he gets to experience a safe home, a soft bed or couch, and to know he is LOVED and valued before he crosses over the rainbow bridge. ***** If you are able to help sweet Prodigy, please TEXT/CALL Aly at 732-604-0625 ASAP as his time is running out! ***** Thank you for caring about a precious life in urgent need!

Story
🚨 ELLIE WILL DIE WITHOUT A FOSTER – SHE NEEDS SURGERY 🚨 Ellie was found as a stray after being hit by a car. Instead of a safe home to recover in, she’s lying in a shelter kennel on a blanket, hurting and confused. Despite everything she’s been through, Ellie is still gentle, loving, and sweet with people. She looks up with those soft, hopeful eyes every time someone walks by, hoping someone will stop and care. Ellie needs surgery to survive, and a rescue is willing to help her — but they cannot step in unless a foster home is secured first. Right now her life is hanging in the balance. Without a foster, the rescue cannot pull her. Without the rescue, she cannot get the surgery she desperately needs. 💔 A foster is the key that saves her life. 🐾 Ellie • Beautiful blue & white girl • Gentle, soulful personality • Loves attention from people • Hit by a car and needs surgery • Rescue ready to help IF a foster steps up She has already survived the trauma of being hit by a car. Please don’t let her story end here. ✨ If you can foster, you can save Ellie’s life. Please step up or share so the right person sees her in time. 🐾💔 PLEASE TEXT KAREN TO HELP 4136298152

Story
Hi, I’m Sanders — your friendly neighborhood gentle giant! Not too long ago, I was found tied up in the rain. I might have been out there a couple of days, but I never stopped believing someone would help me. Before that, it’s clear I was loved and cared for, and I still carry that same loving, hopeful spirit today.I am a 4-year-old Terrier mix. I absolutely adore every person I meet. Seriously — I don’t have a mean bone in my body! I’m a big ol’ snuggler who thinks he’s a lap dog, and I’ll happily give you hugs and soak up every bit of affection you offer. I love toys, playtime, and being part of whatever you’re doing.I haven’t had one-on-one dog meetups yet, but I’ve greeted dogs of all sizes through the fence and done great! I’m also pretty proud of how well I do with routine. I am potty-trained, I’m crate trained, and I know how to sit for treats (I really want to make you happy).Some people judge bully breeds, but I like to show them the truth — we’re just big babies at heart. If you’re looking for a sweet, snuggly companion who will love you with his whole soul, I’m your guy. Come meet me? I promise to bring all the cuddles!---My adoption fee includes up-to-date vaccinations, dewormer, and heartworm/flea prevention. Plus, a microchip that is already registered to you! What more could you ask for?If my bio shows “Spay/Neutered” with a checkmark, I have already been altered; if you do not see this listed, my surgery is still scheduled and a refundable spay/neuter deposit will be required, which will be returned within 10 business days after my procedure is completed.If you`d like to meet me, please fill out an application on our website, PawmettoLifeline.org.Adoptions are by appointment Tuesday through Thursday. On Fridays and Saturdays, you’re welcome to walk in anytime between 10:00am and 5:00pm. Please note that we’re closed for adoptions on Sundays and Mondays.

Story
Hi, I`m Cannon!I`m an energetic, lovable puppy who`s always ready to play! I love running around the yard, exploring new things, and having fun with my siblings. When all that excitement is over, I`m one of the boys who loves to cuddle and soak up attention.I`m friendly with other dogs and warm up nicely to new people, even if I`m a little shy at first. I`m still learning puppy skills like house training, crate training, and sitting, so I`ll need a family that`s excited to help me grow.I`m always up for an adventure, especially if toys are involved! Stuffed toys don`t usually stay stuffed for very long around me, and mealtime is extra exciting, so I`m still learning that everyone gets their own bowl.If you`re looking for a playful puppy with a sweet, cuddly side who`s ready to grow into your best friend, I can`t wait to meet you!Love,CannonMy adoption fee includes up-to-date vaccinations, dewormer, and heartworm/flea prevention.

Hi there! I’m Aubrey, a sweet and loyal girl who’s just waiting to find my person.

Whether we’re curled up on the couch (my favorite!) or out in the yard playing, I just want to be part of your world. I’m house and crate trained — though I should mention, I’m a bit of a Houdini when it comes to crates. I’m smart like that!I do well with dogs my size after a proper intro, and I’d love a home where I can be both your snuggle buddy and your playmate. I’m the perfect mix of lazy day lounger and fun-time friend.If you’re looking for a clever, affectionate companion who will love you deeply and keep you smiling, come meet me.

Story
Hello everyone, my name is Queen Lala, and I’m hoping someone out there has room in their heart for a girl like me. My current family loves me so much, but with my owner’s heart condition, four busy children, school, sports, and work, she can no longer give me the time, love, and attention I deserve. A queen like me needs patience, playtime, consistency, and lots of affection. She wants the absolute best for me, even if it means letting me go.So now, I’m searching for a forever home ..one where I can thrive, be cherished, and give all the love I have inside.There is no adoption fee, and my owner is willing to drive up to four hours to meet you so you can see how wonderful I am in person. They just want me to find a home where I can flourish.Please adopt me. I promise to be loyal, gentle, and full of joy. I just need someone who can give me the care and stability my family can no longer provide.

Adopted from the Lexington Country Animal shelter. She is super sweet and loving, we currently live in an apartment and are about to move in a house that has breed restrictions. Due to this she is not able to stay with us any longer. She is great with small and big dogs and loves all people. She would thrive in a house that has plenty of space for her indoors and outdoors. She will come with her leash, harness, collar, and vet records. Please help us find her a forever home!

Story
Hi, I’m Keaton! I was adopted as a puppy, but sadly, several years later, I found myself back at Pawmetto Lifeline. My previous family didn’t quite understand what I needed as I grew bigger—they kept me outside all the time, and I didn’t get to meet many people or other dogs. Because of that, I can be nervous around strangers and reactive when behind barriers. But once I’m out in the open and get to know you, I’m the sweetest, goofiest, most loving dog you’ll ever meet.The staff here has been so kind, and they believe in me—and I’m starting to believe in myself, too. I’m looking for a calm, quiet home with someone who’s patient and experienced. I didn’t get training in my first home, but I’m eager to learn and bond with someone who’ll show me what love really means.If you can give me the time and space I need to open up, I promise I’ll reward you with endless affection, loyalty, and a one-of-a-kind personality.All I want is a forever family who’ll make me part of their lives—for good this time.My adoption fee includes up-to-date vaccinations, dewormer, and heartworm/flea prevention. Plus, a microchip that is already registered to you! What more could you ask for?If my bio shows “Spay/Neutered” with a checkmark, I have already been altered; if you do not see this listed, my surgery is still scheduled and a refundable spay/neuter deposit will be required, which will be returned within 10 business days after my procedure is completed.If you`d like to meet me, please fill out an application on our website, PawmettoLifeline.org.Adoptions are by appointment Tuesday through Thursday.
