My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Karma & Duke
Bonded Pair - Came to our rescue after being attacked with a machete and left laying there for a week. On the road to recovery and hopefully a happy ending.

Karma is Dukes mom she's 7 years old. She is sweet and laid back. She wants love, attention, snacks and naps. She is heartworm negative and overall very healthy.

Duke will be 2 in July. Duke is currently going through Heartworm treatment as well as recovering from (non contagious) demodex which covered majority of the front of his body as well as patches across his back.

They are both fully vaccinated, on ProHeart12, microchipped and will be spay/neutered as soon as we are given the green light from our vetrinarian.

Their ideal home would be somewhere with a large yard or where they can go on walks together. They are the perfect couples dogs...

Karma would be happy to curl up with you by the pool while you read on your newest book.

Duke would be happy doing the same, although he'd much rather be meandering in the yard with your significant other while they do a little landscaping. Dont let that fool you though he is a 60lb lap dog who will curl up in your lap on the couch for some love.

They truly get along like peas and carrots and pretty much never get out of eyesight of eachother.

They have improved tremendously walking on a leash (when together) and I am able to walk them both at once.

They will need continued training but they both have improved already in the short time we've had them.

Karma is much more laid back than Duke but he does settle fairly quickly for such a young dog.

Please consider giving these two the chance to steal you heart because if any dogs deserve it... Its these two.

Considering the incredible hardships these two dogs have endured and the immense love they deserve, I would like to reach out to our compassionate community. Is there anyone out there who has room in their hearts and home for a bonded pair?

Duke is dog socail while Karma is dog selective.

They have not been cat or child tested although if an approved adopter is found they can be.

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process consists of an application, reference checks, home visits when a reference check is not enough, meet and greet and adoption contract signing.

Please fill out all application fields as accurately as possible. We will not process incomplete applications.

If a dog/pup is listed on Petfinder, we are still accepting applications on him/her.

We do not adopt on a first come, first serve basis, but based on what we feel is the best fit for the family and most importantly, the animal.

We do not keep applications on file. If you are interested in a particular animal please complete an application for that particular animal.

Due to limited space and funding we are unable to, "hold" any animal to be adopted at a later time even with a completed adoption contract.

We welcome out of state adopters. However, please keep in mind that you will HAVE TO come to Holly Hill, SC to meet and adopt any of our animals.

Adoption fees are normally $500 for dogs $300 for cats. However they vary by animal and are listed in each individual posting.

Meet and Greets are scheduled only with approved adoption applications.

Please keep in mind that we do our best to make an educated guess as to the breeds of our rescued pets. In rescue we rarely see the parents of our dogs and puppies, and even when we do, they are usually mixed breeds as well. We also rarely know the age or background (behavioral & medical). We do our best to give accurate descriptions based on what we see while we have them.

More about this rescue

RAVE, which stands for Rural Animal Volunteer Effort, provides crucial care and support for the feral cat colonies and stray dogs in rural South Carolina by offering Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) services, food, shelter, and medical attention to improve their quality of life.

RAVE takes on dogs that others view as 'unadoptable' or 'not desirable'. Most intakes being hounds, pitbull mixes, black dogs, seniors, medical cases or ferals. As a result, the adoption rate for RAVE is lower compared to other rescues in the area. These dogs tend to stay with RAVE for a minimum of 6 months to 1 year. In some cases, dogs have been with the rescue even longer.

RAVE not only focuses on providing care and support for dogs but also extends its helping hand to orphaned kittens, equines, and even ducks in need. The organization's commitment towards animal welfare is truly commendable as they strive to make a difference in the lives of all animals that come their way.
