Meet Bart - The Big, Sweetheart You’ve Been Waiting For! Bart is located at Columbia Animal Services in Columbia, SC. This gentle giant is as loving as he is large. Bart may be a bit on the chonky side, but that just means there’s more of him to cuddle! With his soulful eyes and heart of gold, Bart is the ultimate couch companion who’s ready to snuggle his way into your life. He’s got the sweetest temperament, gets along great with people, and is looking for a forever home where belly rubs and snack breaks are a daily ritual. ❤️
-
Sadly, Bart has been with us for quite some time and remains overlooked for adoption or rescue. He is now on the Length of Stay (LOS) risk list, meaning he is at risk of euthanasia if the shelter reaches capacity.

♦♦URGENT!! - TIME SENSITIVE IMMEDIATELY ❗❗ - The following dogs are at risk for euthanasia due to space IMMEDIATELY at Columbia Animal Services in Columbia, SC! 🐕

Columbia Animal Services operates as an open intake municipal facility, legally obligated to accept all animals within our jurisdiction regardless of capacity. To ensure all dogs have the best chance at finding homes, we proactively market those at risk of euthanasia due to longer stays or kennel stress. These efforts aim to maximize positive outcomes before critical space decisions or behavioral declines necessitate euthanasia.
-
Commitments & pick-ups by rescues, and adoptions are critically time sensitive! During business hours we are busy saving lives, we update this post as time allows. All of these dogs are available for adoption.

🐾 Akeya is at Columbia Animal Services in Columbia SC. She is from a confiscation case with Richland County Animal Services and she does have some medical needs, and because of this, we are seeking a rescue organization to pull her rather than a direct adoption. She deserves a safe, supportive place to decompress and blossom, ideally with a rescue partner who can give her the care and love she’s been missing. Despite her rough start, Akeya continues to show her sweet and gentle nature - she absolutely loves attention and thrives on human interaction. 🐾
-
-
Due to her medical needs, she is not currently available for adoption. We deeply appreciate the compassion and interest many have shown in giving her a loving home. However, as a municipal agency, we are unable to adopt out animals with significant medical conditions. She may instead be transferred to a certified 501(c)(3) rescue organization equipped with the expertise and resources to support her recovery and help her find the right long-term placement.
-
-
AID: A301147 Akeya - PUPDATE: pulled by a rescue!!
Age: 4y
S*x: SPAYED female
Weight: 66lb
Heartworm status: Negative
Intake: confiscation 6/26/25, rescue pull only
Temperament Notes: Friendly with people per observation
Dog assessment:
7/30/25: Had good gate greetings with a male dog, allowed the other dog to enter the yard and she was highly interested in him and had appropriate greetings. She was very shy but had a loose body and wagging tail. She was sitting down during the greetings and at one point laid on the ground belly down but still wagging her tail. Another female dog was allowed to enter and Akeya had appropriate greetings with her as well. All three dogs walked around without issue.
Overall: Dog social/friendly, gentle/dainty, would do good in a home with another friendly/social dog.
* Medical:
Tripod - when she came in she had difficulty walking, falling to ground often. Elbows abducted.
Per x-rays on 8/4/25 –
Left Rear (missing limb): still has femoral head and neck in place within the acetabulum and mid femur osteotomy. Mineralopacity in soft tissue lateral LR.
Right Rear: Shortened and thickened femoral head, shallow acetabulum with remodeling of the femoral head.
Unsure if Akeya was born with a congenital issue, or if there was trauma in her past, leading to the need for amputation.
The remaining hip does show signs of chronic disease, whether from trauma, hip dysplasia, or other. Currently she is highly mobile and has made great improvement while at the shelter.
Long-term she may have issues with arthritis, so keeping her thin and fit is recommended, along with staying on a joint supplement and working closely with a veterinarian to manage her overall.
• Additional low impact exercise such as swimming/underwater treadmill may also help. If swimming, use dog life jacket.
• Physical therapy would also greatly support her mobility challenges as a three-legged animal. In the weeks she has been here, her ability to get around has already shown significant improvement.

Vector is currently at Columbia Animal Services in Columbia, SC. As a typical German Shepherd, the shelter environment is taking a serious toll on him. He's struggling to adjust and growing increasingly stressed with each passing day. Vector needs out of the shelter and into a stable, loving environment where he can decompress and thrive.🐾
-
**Vector is available for adoption or rescue pull

-
AID: A301474 Vector - PUPDATE: Foster to adopt home!
Age: 4y
S*x: NEUTERED male
Weight: 63lb
Heartworm status: Positive
Intake: stray 7/14/25, available for adoption 7/24/25
Temperament Notes: Friendly with people per observation, very vocal
Dog assessment: barrier reactive
7/28/25: Was a bit nervous and "sketchy" at first, was unable to get martingale collar on due to bite signs being expressed by the dog. Vector was head shy so we continued with slips leads. In the catch pen he was very interested in the dog, loose body, low wagging tail. Leash greeting was good, both dogs were stiff at first but slowly became loose the more the face to face interaction continued. After a few minutes of hanging out on leash, both leashes were dropped and allowed to drag and the dogs ran around following each other. Vector found a large ball and was very enthusiastic about the toy, he did have small moments where he guarded the toy from us and the other dog, but did not bite and only ran over to cover the ball or take it away from us. After a while, he allowed the other male dog to come near him and the ball, Vector did not stress and only laid down, sniffed him, and didn't make any other motion to guard the toy since the other male dog was not attempting to get to the toy and was just walking over him.
**Due to the heat, the assessment was cut short as both dogs were wide mouth panting despite having cool shaded areas and water to cool down**
Overall: Vector is high energy, reserved friendly at first, but loves to be petted at his own pace. Very friendly with other dogs, enjoys playing with toys, especially fetch.

🔷We do NOT guarantee health, behavior, or temperament, nor do we have the resources for extensive testing or exams on any animals prior to rescue pulls. The only guaranteed vetting is basic vaccines, deworming, preventatives, and HW test.
🔹Dog assessments upon request to the rescue coordinator for rescues; dogs are assessed with other dogs of the same size, we generally do not know how they are with smaller dogs.
-
CAS does not DNA test shelter pets and is therefore unable to determine the breed of promoted animals. We believe all dogs are individuals and their behaviors should not be predicted based on physical characteristics.

*Fun fact! Less than 25% of a dog’s genome contributes to their physical characterizes.
