Story
Oliver was found by Columbia Animal Services on 2/1/24. He is believed to be about 4 years old weighing just under 80lbs and was neutered at the shelter on 2/9/24. Columbia Animal Services shelter is running at almost max capacity frequently and dogs that do not get adopted out risk euthanasia at the shelter. We are currently fostering Oliver to get him out of that environment. Oliver is very smart, he knows commands like sit, lay-down, shake, stay. He is house trained and has not needed to be crated when we are not home. He gets along well (for the most part) with our 2 dogs. He is also amazing with our 9yo son. They bonded immediately and Oliver follows him everywhere and sleeps in his room.

Story
My dogs name is nugget and he’s a really really really great loving dog! He is house trained, great with people and my kids. I have never walked him with a leash ever he’s knows not to go in the street, pretty much just let him do his thing we don’t have a backyard in my townhome community so we have a little area where he knows to do his thing. He does have allergies, I’ve been giving him apoquel for his allergies about one a day and it seems to do the trick. He does have some skin issues on his back from before the apoquel and we were trying to figure out how to help him but other than that he just wants to play all day. I’m starting a trucking career oct 28th and unfortunately I won’t be able to bring him with me and my wife doesn’t like dogs he was pretty much mine so gonna have to find him a new home

Story
Location: Fort Mill, SC Pet Name: Meet King Thor! 👑❤️ Age: 7 y/o Original Aquired: Charlotte HS Thor is the sweetest boy! He does jump with greetings to people, but has never bit or harmed another human. He often acts like a mediator with other dogs , or goes off in his own world, but still likes to play and engage! (I’ve taken him to dog parks and he’s been fine- he’s never been an aggressive dog. He is house broken to an extent- I do house him in a crate during the day while I work, and he does just fine (I make sure to walk him before he’s crated so he stays relaxed). Overall though, he’s playful and will relax/cuddle with you all day! He has a laziness to him, but when he’s excited he’s EXCITED! ❤️ Needs some basic training (jumps on people as a greeting, but that’s the extent ) but understands sit , lay , stay. Hoping to rehome him to a family, where he’ll get more attention than me as a single household. Somewhere with a back yard and maybe another dog even would be ideal!

Story
Story is a sweet, well-behaved dog who just needs more attention than we can give him and would benefit from a one dog household. He knows “sit” and “stay”. He is triggered by open doors and needs to be told to sit before a door is opened otherwise he’ll run. He can jump a 4’ fence so a fenced in yard would need to have a 6’ fence at minimum. He is crate trained and housebroken. He plays with our other dog (a pit bull) but they are both jealous for attention. He's very communicative and will let you know when he needs to go out, eat or needs attention. He loves looking out an open window (not too open or he might jump) and snuggling on a bed big enough for him to stretch out on.

Story
Kali is such a happy and loving dog with a lot of energy whose tail is always wagging. BUT she does have quirks. 100% crate trained! I was told that she is 10, but she doesn't look or act like a senior. She has a high energy level and plays well with other dogs but guards food and toys. She gets along with our other dog but knowing how she is, we don't leave toys out or feed them when they are together. She desperately wants to play with other dogs but needs to stay minimally active until she is cleared of heartworms, which she is currently being treated for. Kali is potty trained, big time holder and knows to ask to go out. On leash she pulled a bit the first few days but now she is a great walker. I prefer to use a harness vs collar. She loves to sniff around and she's actually a big scaredy cat outside. Guards food and toys so should be with an experienced owner. She has a great heart but needs extra understanding and patience to gain her trust.
