Story
Roxy is the most loving dog I have ever met. All she wants is love and attention. Roxy's energy level is typically low. Unless there's squirrels in sight! She loves chasing after squirrels in the back yard getting her afternoon 5k run in! Roxy loves a big comfortable bed to relax in all day. But she mainly loves to lay in bed with you! She doesn'do a whole lot, but she has a whole lot of love to offer you. An ideal home for Roxy would be a semi-quiet home with a big back yard. Roxy loves kids. She may need a patient introduction with cats, but typically doesn't worry about them after that initial sniff test. Roxy is completely house trained. She is crate trained and knows a few simple commands. Roxy walks well on the leash. Roxy is spayed and currently up to date on vaccines! I want to find her the best home possible!! I would love to stay in contact with her new owner!

Story
Hi, I’m Keaton! I was adopted as a puppy, but sadly, several years later, I found myself back at Pawmetto Lifeline. My previous family didn’t quite understand what I needed as I grew bigger—they kept me outside all the time, and I didn’t get to meet many people or other dogs. Because of that, I can be nervous around strangers and reactive when behind barriers. But once I’m out in the open and get to know you, I’m the sweetest, goofiest, most loving dog you’ll ever meet.The staff here has been so kind, and they believe in me—and I’m starting to believe in myself, too. I’m looking for a calm, quiet home with someone who’s patient and experienced. I didn’t get training in my first home, but I’m eager to learn and bond with someone who’ll show me what love really means.If you can give me the time and space I need to open up, I promise I’ll reward you with endless affection, loyalty, and a one-of-a-kind personality.All I want is a forever family who’ll make me part of their lives—for good this time.My adoption fee 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 my bio shows “Spay/Neutered” with a checkmark, I have already been altered; if you do not see this listed, my surgery is still scheduled and a refundable spay/neuter deposit will be required, which will be returned within 24 hours after my procedure is completed.If you`d like to meet me, please fill out an application on our website, PawmettoLifeline.org.Adoptions are by appointment Tuesday through Thursday. On Fridays and Saturdays, you’re welcome to walk in anytime between 10:00am and 5:00pm. Please note that we’re closed for adoptions on Sundays and Mondays.

Story
Hi, my name is Spot!I’m a one-of-a-kind pup here at Pawmetto Lifeline—and I’m looking for a very special person to share my heart with. You see, I’m deaf, which means I experience the world a little differently. Because of that, I need an experienced, patient adopter who understands the importance of structure, boundaries, and clear, consistent communication.I’m super food-motivated (seriously—treats are the way to my heart!), and I’ve got a goofy, loving side that shines when I’m comfortable. But I’ll be honest—I don’t warm up to strangers right away. I need a little time to get to know you and feel safe. Think of it like dating—we need a few visits before I’m ready to commit!I’d do best in a calm, adult-only home with no children and minimal chaos. Once I trust you, I’m incredibly loyal and affectionate. I’m just looking for someone who sees my potential and is willing to go slow with me.If you’re kind, experienced, and up for building a strong bond based on trust and love, I might just be the perfect pup for you. Could you be my person?My adoption fee includes up-to-date vaccinations, dewormer, and heartworm/flea prevention. Plus, a microchip that is already registered to you!

Story
Hi, I’m Max—and yes, I am convinced I’m a lap dog. My size says otherwise, but my heart says “snuggle closer,” and honestly… I trust my heart.I’ve been with my people for 8 years, so I’ve got the whole “good house manners” thing down. I’m fully housetrained and crate trained—in fact, I actually love my crate. It’s my little chill zone, especially when my humans have to leave. I do get a bit anxious when I’m alone, but my crate helps me settle in and feel safe.Now let’s talk about my personality: I’m a BIG, happy, wiggly ball of excitement. New people? I love them. Men, women, kids of all ages—I greet everyone like we’re already best friends. I’ve been around babies all the way up to teenagers and I think they’re all pretty great. Just keep in mind, I can get a little enthusiastic with my greetings!I love to run, play, and just be part of the action. Walks are super exciting… maybe too exciting sometimes. I’m still working on my leash manners because I just get so pumped to be out and about. I do know how to sit though, and I’m definitely smart enough to learn more!Other dogs? I’m usually excited to meet them, big or small. And squirrels and birds? Oh yeah… I see them. I definitely see them.I’m not destructive at all—I don’t tear up toys or get into things I shouldn’t. I’d much rather be hanging out with my people, playing, or attempting to climb into your lap like the oversized baby I am.If you’re looking for a super friendly, playful, slightly goofy, very loving companion who will keep life fun and full of energy—I might just be your perfect match.– MaxIf you`d like to meet me, please fill out an application on our website, PawmettoLifeline.org.Adoptions are by appointment Tuesday through Thursday. On Fridays and Saturdays, you’re welcome to walk in anytime between 10:00am and 5:00pm. Please note that we’re closed for adoptions on Sundays and Mondays.

Well here it is 4 yrs. later. He was a great companion for my mother, she passed two yrs. ago. I am getting married in April and my partner is allergic therefore I need to rehome him. He is a protector, very loyal and playful and loves to eat. He was very gentle with my mom.

Story
Cupcake is a bright, playful girl born March 23, 2025 who brings both joy and personality everywhere she goes. She is incredibly intelligent and learns routines and commands quickly, thriving when she has structure and clear expectations. Cupcake loves to play and engage with her people, but she can become overstimulated in busy or chaotic environments, so she does best with calm guidance and opportunities to decompress. She settles beautifully in her kennel and especially benefits from having it covered, which helps her feel safe and relaxed. With the right balance of play, rest, and consistency, Cupcake is a deeply loyal and rewarding companion who will form a strong bond with her person or family. She does a good job signaling potty time by sitting or hovering by the door and she walks off leash around the house. Recall is great. She knows sit, lay down, kennel, place, scatter, get it, etc.
