Story

I’ve known Otis since he was 6 weeks old. His owner decided he no longer wanted him and released him at the rail road tracks at 6 months old. He was found 3-4 days later and posted to Facebook. The owner took back ownership and immediately gave him to me. He is now almost 9 months old. He loves attention and will follow you around everywhere. He loves car rides and fetching a ball. While inside he loves chewing on harder toys or playing tug. He will require a special slow eater food bowl which he will come with. He is crate trained and learning basic commands. I don’t want to get rid of him but he occasionally starts a fight with my other dogs, so please consider that. He current is up to date on all shots and heart worm tested. He is scheduled to be neutered next week. This boy is such a special dog with a very loving nature about him

Story

Dante is 3 years old. My wife adopted him before we dated as a young pup. Since we've been married our lives and schedules have changed drastically, and we unfortunately don't have the ability to give him the attention he needs. We're hoping to find him a happy home, where he has plenty of room to play and lots of opportunities for love and affection.

Story

Hi, my name is Marble!Marble was found after the recent storms all alone and hungry. She walked right up to her foster parents and they knew they needed to help Marble. She curled up immediately in mom`s lap into a ball and her spots popped like a shiny marble. Marble has learned how to live in a home. She likes to walk on a leash, go outside to potty, and will sit on command. She is very food motivated and loves to earn a treat. Marble sleeps overnight so while she is young, she is past the middle of the night work a younger pup requires. Marble is ready to find a forever family. Marble 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. Pawmetto Lifeline wants every animal to have a chance to find a loving home.Please fill out an adoption application at https://pawmettolifeline.org/adoption/adoptionapplication/ or contact adoption@pawmettolifeline.org if you would like to meet this animal.
