My name is Huck!

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.

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.
