Story
Hi there! I’m Aubrey, a sweet and loyal girl who’s just waiting to find my person. I might be a little cautious when we first meet, but give me a moment — once I know you’re kind, I’ll light up with the biggest smile, wag my little nub like crazy, and run straight to you like we’ve been best friends forever.I adore my human friends and love being near them. 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. I think we could be a perfect match.My adoption fee of $50 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 you`d like to meet me, please fill out an application on our website, PawmettoLifeline.org.

Story
I’m Arabella (Bella for short)—an energetic, affectionate, and incredibly loyal pup! My foster family has loved me since November 2023, and if it weren’t for their cats and my need to be the boss around small dogs, they would have kept me forever.I’d thrive best as the only pet in the home or with larger, easygoing dogs who can handle my playful energy. I’m a total cuddle bug and absolutely love attention—one of my favorite things is stretching across your lap while you rub my belly!I need plenty of chew toys, and my favorites are Nylabone, Benebone, and Lumabone. But no stuffed or plastic toys for me—I’ll tear them apart and try to eat them. I love running and chasing squirrels, so a big yard is a must! Since I also like to chase cars, cats, chickens, and ducks, I’d do best in a home with a securely fenced yard.I’m fully housetrained and love my crate—it’s my safe space. I’m also a car chaser, so I need careful supervision when outside.When meeting new people, I can be a mix of friendly, excited, and sometimes a little fearful at first, whether they’re men or women. I haven’t been around children yet, but because of my size and energy, I might not be the best fit for small kids or elderly folks.I get excited around other dogs—sometimes I’m friendly and playful, but other times I might bark or growl if I feel overwhelmed. I’m super enthusiastic at mealtime and take treats nicely, even when I’m excited. In the yard, I’m always playful and full of energy.I love toys, but I can be a bit possessive over them. I also tend to rip the stuffing out of plush toys, so it’s best to stick with durable chew options for me.If you’re looking for a fun, loving, and adventurous companion who will shower you with affection, I just might be your perfect match. Will you be my ‘forever lap’ for couch snuggles? I promise to love you forever! Adoption Fee: $50Arabella is part of our Home to Home 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.

Story
Hi! My name is Sweetie, and yep—I live up to it! I’m a friendly, affectionate girl who loves being around people, especially the school-age kiddos in my foster home. I’ve been told I have a gentle, loving spirit, and while I may get a little excited sometimes, I’m always eager to please.I’m crate trained (I actually love my crate—it’s my cozy spot!), and I’m fully housetrained too. I already know how to sit, and with a little attention and consistency, I’d love to learn even more tricks for treats. I`m easygoing around big dogs and curious about the world, though I haven’t met small dogs or other animals just yet.I haven’t had much leash experience, but I’m excited about everything, including time in the yard and mealtime—so get ready for tail wags and happy energy! I can be a bit of a runner if given the chance, so I’d do best in a home where I’m watched closely outdoors or have a secure yard.I’m a total lovebug and crave connection with my people. If you`re looking for a sweet, loyal girl who just wants to be your best friend, I might be the one!Adoption fee - $50Sweetie is part of our Home to Home 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.

Story
Meet Bunny! This sweet, playful pup is full of personality and always ready for fun. Bunny is a toy-lover through and through—just make sure they’re super chewer approved, because she doesn’t mess around! Whether she’s entertaining herself or playing with another pup, Bunny brings energy and joy to every moment.She’d thrive with another playful dog but is also totally content being your one-and-only best friend. Bunny absolutely loves car rides—especially when she gets to stick her head out the window and feel the breeze. She’d likely have a blast at the dog park, too!Bunny is still working on her leash manners and tends to bolt through open doors, so she’ll need a little structure and someone who can help her stay safe. She hasn’t been around children yet, so a home with older kids or adults might be best while she continues to learn the ropes.If you`re looking for a fun, affectionate dog who’s always up for playtime and adventure, Bunny could be the perfect fit!My adoption fee of $50 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 you`d like to meet me, please fill out an application on our website, PawmettoLifeline.org. Adoptions are by appointment Tuesday through Thursday, Friday and Saturday are walk in from 10-5.

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!
