Story
Meet Nixon! He truly is the sweetest boy. I rescued him from a shelter in 2022. Before I had my son, I could give Nix all the attention but now with a 1 year old I know nix is suffering from that. He will not stop going to the bathroom in the house while we’re gone for any length of time, he goes to the bathroom outside too and associates that with where he goes to the bathroom. I don’t know if it’s depression anxiety, bad behavior or lack of training. I wish more than anything that I could make this work but he deserves someone that has more time on their hands.

Story
American Staffordshire Terrier Tan & White Estimated DOB March 1, 2019 I got him on August 14, 2019. So I've had him for a little over 6 years. I'm all he knows. I'm moving and unfortunately I can't take him with me. He loves treats every time he comes in from using the bathroom. He also loves playing, toys, and eating ice. I can't get ice without having to give him a piece. He likes his butt scratched. But not his head. He must have a bed and blanket. He covers himself up with the blanket. I buy twin size blankets for him. Throws are too small, and he will tear it up. He is crate trained, but he doesn't like it. He runs free in the house when I'm not home. He is not leashed trained. Included: bed, blanket, crate, toys, food bowl, and 3 gal water bowl.

Story
Xena is an affectionate, energetic dog who LOVES interacting with people. She wants you to play with her toys with her, but she can also play fetch solo when she gets bored. She likes to wear sweatshirts, and to burrow under blankets, and to cuddle with her humans! Xena has shown she can get along with other dogs MOST of the time, but she very rarely will "snap" and bite/latch on to another dog. She really needs to be in a home where she is the only dog and can have all your attention. She sleeps a lot, preferably snuggled up in a cozy chair or bed, and then will have a burst of energy to play. She will greet you affectionately at the door. She loves meeting new people and instantly wants them to pet her. She is crate-trained and walks in easily. She never has bathroom accidents in the house. She LOVES to ride in the car and goes nuts whenever you grab her leash. This playful, sweet girl is looking for a home where she is the center of attention!

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.

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!
