🌟 Rescue Appreciation Post 🌟
The past two days have been overwhelming — with a major influx of dogs, we were in urgent need of help on very short notice. And as always, our incredible rescue partners stepped up in a big way.
💚 Greenville Humane Society – Initially coming for just Crystal, one large dog… but left with Lady Moose and her 6 pups, plus 7 puppies someone dropped in our parking lot. You always go above and beyond, and we’re so grateful for your unwavering support.
💙 Living Hope Canine Rescue – Thank you for giving Max, a sweet senior shepherd, the safe, loving place he desperately needed. He was on our urgent list, and you came through when it mattered most.
🧡 Paved Paws Rescue – You stepped up for Candy, a gentle girl in need of TLC, and didn’t stop there. When we contacted you about an urgent kitten with possible ringworm, you didn’t hesitate. That’s the kind of dedication that changes lives.
💜 Gracie Acres – Echo had been waiting over 30 days, and his time was nearly up. But you made sure he didn’t get left behind. Thank you for being there when he needed someone most.
💛 Lighthouse Animal Shelter – Thank you for taking Brandi, one of our biggest shelter sweethearts who always greeted us with a smile. Her tail never stopped wagging, and now she’s off to a brighter future.
✨ Special thanks to these rescues who also helped us tremendously this week:
Dog Squad Rescue – for taking Oyster, an emaciated pup now on the path to a much better life.
Hampton’s Hope – for stepping up once again, this time for Rocco, a senior boy who urgently needed out.
We can’t thank you all enough for showing up when we needed it most. This kind of teamwork saves lives. 💫

We’re a little late—but our gratitude is right on time. 💛
Last week, Passion 4 Paws pulled ELEVEN dogs from our urgent list—every single one a long-stay pup who needed out during a truly critical moment. Because of them, Apollo, Nala, Gummy Bear, Tibby, Maynard, Huskyanna, Freya, Skunk, Knuckles, Polo, and Oxygen are finally safe. These were dogs we’ve been fighting for—and now, they finally have a chance.
We also want to send a huge thank you to Hampton's Hope Sanctuary, who stepped up in a massive way. They rushed to help Batman, who needed out immediately due to worsening wounds, and then pulled off something incredible: they took in Anubis, the dear friend of Thor, who they had rescued just a few weeks earlier.
We are so grateful for your compassion, hustle, and heart. Thank you for showing up when it mattered most. 🐾💕

This week, our hearts are overflowing with gratitude for the incredible rescue partners who stepped in and changed the course of these dogs’ lives. Each one of them had waited far too long, and thanks to you—they’re finally free.
💛 Passion 4 Paws – One of our longtime rescue partners and true heroes. You didn’t just pull one or two dogs—you pulled SIX large dogs, all in one day. That kind of commitment is rare, and it means everything to us.
Trudy – waited patiently for 40 days
Zinnia – 45 days of watching others leave before her
Bella – 40 days of wagging her tail through it all
Kenneth – 74 days in the shelter, still hopeful every morning
Paco – 53 days of overlooked sweetness
Duke – came in with severely injured paw pads, in urgent need of healing and comfort
You gave them all what we couldn’t: a soft landing and a fresh start. We are truly amazed by your dedication time and time again. Thank you.
💙 Lighthouse Animal Shelter – Thank you for taking in Hannah, who had been with us for 38 days. She is full of life, bursting with s***k, and has a heart as sweet as they come. Her energy and joy were impossible to miss—and now she finally has the chance to let that light shine.
🩷 Lovable Mutts – And to you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for pulling Feather. This beautiful girl was completely blind—born with entropion and unusually small eye globes. But despite not being able to see the world around her, she felt every ounce of love. She gave it right back tenfold. Feather was truly one of the brightest spirits in our shelter, and now she’s finally where she belongs.
To all of you—thank you for seeing the dogs who needed you most. Thank you for changing their lives. We will never stop being grateful.

Rescue Appreciation Week ❤️🐾
This week, we’re celebrating three amazing rescue partners who stepped up in big ways for some of our most vulnerable animals. We truly can’t thank you enough!
✨ Carolina Loving Hound Rescue
This incredible group pulled two sweet seniors and four tiny surprises:
Barkley, a 10-year-old lady with a large mass needing removal
Holly, 8 years old and still full of life and love
4 puppies, found in a ditch and pulled spontaneously the moment they arrived—CLHR didn’t blink.
✨ Angels Among Us
When we had a true time-sensitive case, they jumped into action. Cranberry, a 9-month-old pup with a bad case of ringworm and possible sunburn, needed out within 24 hours. Angels Among Us made it happen, no hesitation.
✨ Carolina Border Collie Rescue
They gave P***y Brewster, a 10-year-old girl in need of comfort and care, the soft landing she deserved. Seniors like her often get overlooked—but not by CBCR.
To each of you: thank you for answering the call, for being a lifeline, and for seeing the value in every life. We’re beyond grateful for your partnership! 💛

Rescue Appreciation 💚🌟
Today we’re sending a huge thank you to two incredible partners: Misfit Shepherd Rescue with the help of BARK Inc., and Shining Star Sanctuary – both of whom stepped up for animals that had nowhere else to go.
When Mint (now Deuce) began shutting down in the shelter—fearful of people, unsure on leash, and too stressed for our adoption floor—Misfit Shepherd Rescue didn’t hesitate. With fast coordination and transport from BARK Inc., Deuce was out the same day during a space crisis. Now? He’s acting like a normal, happy pup, finally able to be himself. 💫
Meanwhile, Shining Star Sanctuary took in two of our most behaviorally challenging cats:
🖤 Moses Perez, whose owner was going through serious medical hardship, was here for 21 days, growly and untouchable from stress—despite a history of being social.
🤍 Josie, found under a house with her kittens, thrived in foster but reverted to unmanageable behavior once back at the shelter.
Both rescues saw what we saw: animals worth saving. And they didn’t hesitate.
Thank you, Misfit Shepherd Rescue, BARK Inc., and Shining Star Sanctuary, for giving these animals the chance they needed—and deserved.
We’re so grateful to have you in our corner. 💛

Today’s Rescue Appreciation ❤️
We are incredibly grateful for one of our long-time, steadfast rescue partners – Angels Among Us. Time and time again, they step up for the dogs who need it most – the ones struggling, overlooked, or in crisis.
This week, they opened their hearts and kennels to four large dogs who came to us through animal control after their owner sadly passed away with no next of kin. These pups – Joey, Baby, Bear, and Sunshine – were all showing signs of kennel stress, some quite extreme. Their bond with each other was one of the only sources of comfort they had, and Angels Among Us didn’t hesitate. They took all four.
💔 Sadly, Joey passed away not long after arriving, likely from a broken heart. He struggled the most here at the shelter – pacing, panting, and shut down. But thanks to Angels Among Us, he spent his final moments surrounded by the friends he loved, with familiar faces and kindness around him.
We are heartbroken, but still so deeply thankful. Thank you, Angels Among Us, for always showing up with compassion and grace. You gave Joey peace, and gave all four dogs a real chance.

Saturday Shoutout 💛🐾🐰

We’re ending the week with a BIG dose of gratitude for two amazing rescue partners who stepped up in very special ways!

First up, **Gracie Acres**, who came through with not one—but *two* HUGE and *surprising* pulls:
🐾 **Tino**, a sweet boy hit by a car and treated in our shelter clinic, ultimately needing an amputation. He was still in sickhold when Gracie Acres said *yes*, after 25 days in our care.
🐾 **Auggie**, a longtime staff favorite who had been with us for **53 days**. As wonderful as he is, he was starting to deteriorate in the kennel and struggling with social interactions. He became *urgent*—and Gracie Acres gave him the lifeline he desperately needed.
We are so incredibly thankful to have you as one of our trusted rescue partners!

And now, for a unique twist…
Meet **Hoptimus Prime** 🐰—our sweet little *bunny* who wandered onto someone’s porch and refused to leave. After his vet exam revealed two necrotic wounds, we knew he needed immediate help.
**Crossroads Animal Rescue** saw our plea and didn’t hesitate. They stepped in and gave Hoptimus Prime the medical care and soft landing he so badly needed.

To **Gracie Acres** and **Crossroads Animal Rescue**: thank you for being the lifelines these animals needed. Your compassion and action change lives—and we’re so grateful to have you in our corner. 💛

Double the Gratitude 💛🐾
This week, we’re celebrating two incredible rescue partners who stepped up in a major way to help us move some long-stay and urgent cases out of the shelter!
First, a HUGE thank you to Jesse’s Place for graciously and quickly pulling two of our long-term residents:
🐾 Hurricane – 46 days in the shelter
🐾 Rover – 51 days in our care
Both were large dogs who had simply been waiting too long, and with space at a premium, Jesse’s Place came through exactly when we needed it most. We’re so grateful for your ongoing support and quick action—thank you for being part of the solution!
We’re also sending major love to our neighbors at Greenville Humane Society, who took on two big cases this week:
🐶 Leo, a 5-month-old puppy who had been growing up in our shelter for 51 days, finally got the chance he deserved
🐱 An urgent 1-month-old kitten with ringworm—a tough case that GHS didn’t hesitate to say yes to
Your willingness to act quickly and compassionately means the world to us—and even more to the animals you save.
Thank you, Jesse’s Place and Greenville Humane Society, for being the kind of partners every shelter dreams of. 💛

Saturday Shoutout 💛🐾

Today, we’re sending our heartfelt thanks to **two incredible rescue partners** who made a *huge* difference this week!

First up, a warm welcome and BIG thank you to **PetConnect Rescue**, a northern-based rescue and new partner we’re so excited to work with!
They didn’t just step up—they *sprinted* into action, pulling three sickhold puppies, all siblings:
🐾 Slinky, Snuggles, and Short Stack
Slinky was even battling pneumonia, but that didn’t stop PetConnect from confirming quickly and getting them on the road to a brighter, healthier future. We’re truly grateful and hopeful this is the start of many more lifesaving partnerships ahead!

And a massive THANK YOU to our longtime friends at Hampton’s Hope Sanctuary for saving **Five-O**—a sweet, well-deserving pup who spent **59 days** in the shelter waiting for someone to come for him. You gave him that chance, and we’re so thankful.

To both rescues: THANK YOU for being the difference. You mean the world to us and these dogs. 💛

Appreciation Post 💛🐾
This week, we’re giving a HUGE and heartfelt thank you to our longtime friends at Passion 4 Paws—a rescue that always steps up, and this time… they went above and beyond.
They pulled TEN dogs.
Yes, you read that right—10 large dogs, all in one day!
🐶 Scooby, Gaston, Cheerio, Hammie, Armstrong, Butters, Bread, Colson, Snorlax, and Valentina
These pups were sweet, wonderful, and so deserving—but they just weren’t getting adopted. Many were staff favorites, and it was breaking our hearts to see them continue to be overlooked.
Passion 4 Paws gave them the fresh start they needed, and we truly can’t express what that means to us. You didn’t just make space—you gave hope. You gave life.
Thank you for being such an incredible partner. We’re beyond grateful for all you do. 💛

Weekly Appreciation 💛🐾

This week, we’re feeling extra grateful for two incredible rescue partners who stepped up in a big way when we needed it most!

First, a HUGE thank you to Dede’s Angels Rescue for pulling six small pups from us—each with their own quirks and needs.
🐶 Dr. King, Dream Warrior, Jed, Dokken, Craven – all owner-surrendered from the same home, some with medical challenges, others with behavior quirks
🐶 Taco – a blind and deaf little pup with additional medical needs

Small dogs and puppies have been surprisingly tough to place lately, and space is tight everywhere—so this pull was a lifesaver. Thank you for giving these special pups the love and care they deserve!

And another heartfelt thank you to Fixing the Unbroken for taking on two medical kittens who needed out:

🐱 Puppy – found in a dog kennel, with ongoing eye issues
🐱 Cedar – a tiny fighter with a fractured leg who still manages to play and hop around like a champ

We’re so thankful to have such dedicated, compassionate partners. You make this work possible—and we appreciate you more than words can say. 💛
