RESCUE NEEDED: I have a spayed female mix here that has lost her family. Her human mom was taken to the hospital on Thursday (May 1st) and her human dad was found dead at home yesterday (May 2nd). They are saying that her mom will not be coming home due to her age and health. I only have till Monday (May 5th) to find a place for her before animal control picks her up. She is a great dog as far as I can tell. A bit shy but not snappy and seems to really love children. I have 8 dogs of my own and just can not take on another one.

Please email volunteer Sue Dockery or call 803-568-0555 for more details.

RESCUE OR SPONSORS NEEDED He was saved by a guardian angel at a young age being sold on a street corner as a purebred shar pei along with his brothers and sisters. She could tell that they were not purebred but bought him to save him from his poor conditions. He is happy and healthy now, at around 7 months of age. He seems to maybe have either boxer or lab in him as well, but for the most part, he is shar pei both looks and personality! He does have Demodex mange, but is on treatment therapy for it and is doing well as well as is up to date on all vaccinations and when donations are recieved, he will be neutered as well. He has Crypt-Orchid, two undecended testicles, so the neuter surgery ends up being more intensive and much more like a spay in recovery and will cost more. But he is otherwise just a happy-go-lucky kind of guy just waiting for the perfect family to come snatch him up!! He is great with everyone, kids, cats and dogs and would make a wonderful addition to almost any family situation.
