Story
Meet Toby 🤎Toby is a sweet little guy with a big heart — and just a few quirks that make him uniquely Toby.Let’s start with the honest part: Toby does guard his food, and he takes his job as “fence security officer” very seriously. He’ll let the world know what’s happening on the other side of that fence. But here’s the thing — outside of those situations, and in a calm, patient home, Toby is incredibly loving.When he feels safe and understood, Toby is affectionate, loyal, and eager to be close to his people. He gets along well with other dogs and enjoys having canine friends around. Like many dogs, his quirks are manageable with structure, consistency, and clear boundaries.Toby isn’t looking for a perfect home — he’s looking for the right home. One that understands that some of the best dogs come with a little personality. With patience and guidance, Toby has so much potential to truly thrive.If you’re willing to see past a few manageable behaviors and invest in a sweet little dog who will love you wholeheartedly, Toby just might be your guy. 🤎Adoption Hours are Thursday through Sunday from noon to 5pm. You do not need an appointment to come by and meet animals during adoption hours.

Story
Milo is a 6 year-old Maltese weighing in at about 10 lbs. His owner took a job that required too much travel, so he was surrendered into rescue. This spicy little guy will need a patient adopter willing to work with a big personality and knows how to read doggie body language! Milo can be a bit of a diva, so would need a home without young children. He walks well on a leash and should adjust to a forever home given some time and understanding that he has been through some big changes! Est. DOB is Jan. 2020 Stay tuned to this site and to our FB page for updates and more pictures as we find out more about Milo. WE ONLY ADOPT WITHIN A 2 HOUR RADIUS OF THE TRICOUNTY AREA. ***Exceptions may be made for seniors or hard to place dogs. If the animal is under the age of 3 years old or has health issues, a vet reference is required, which means you must own a pet or have owned a pet in your name. ADIOPTION FEE of $410 covers all vetting including spay/neuter surgery, vaccines, microchip, heartworm test and treatment if needed, and any other medical that may be required while in rescue. Please do not ask us to reduce adoption fees since all fees help us cover medical expenses for all of our animals, some of which can be very expensive. Saving lives is not cheap, so thank you for understanding and helping us save as many as possible. We only do adoptions on Saturday, and not all animals are able to attend. If you would like to see a specific animal, please let us know via email and we will try to accommodate. However, we cannot guarantee the animal will be at the event without an approved application. Event locations do vary so please check the homepage or our FB site to find out where we will be this week. Please email lowcountryanimalrescue@ymail.com for an application.

Story
Molly was bred and had a terrible life before, but now enjoys life to the fullest! She loves doing zoomies in her fosters fenced yard and loves all the other dogs. Her tongue hangs out a bit due to the extractions she had to have. She does spin sometimes, a lingering affect of living in a cage much of her life and feeling anxious. She is fostered in an all adult home, with dogs and cats. Molly is 10 yrs old and weighs 9.8 lb. She loves to be where you are! Looking for a close companion and are willing to be patient as she adjusts? Then Molly may be the girl for you. Spay, vaccines, microchip provided.
