Any German Shepherd lovers out there? Aries needs you. ❤️

Aries is a handsome 9–10-year-old German Shepherd who has been waiting at Animal Protection League of SC since 2021. Sadly, his severe hip issues are worsening, and shelter life is becoming increasingly difficult for him. It might give him more time in a calm home.

We’re searching for a forever foster with German Shepherd experience who can give Aries the comfort he deserves. He needs a home without stairs and would do best in a quieter home with no children. He may be able to live with a calm, respectful dog after proper introductions.

Despite his mobility challenges, Aries still loves toys, enjoys leisurely walks, and never turns down a sunny spot to relax. What he wants most is a soft bed, a peaceful home, and someone to love him through his golden years.

Aries’s comfort is more important to us than an adoption fee. All supplies (food, toys, etc) and medical care will be provided by APL.

Ginger was a star on the news!

She is a really sweet girl looking for a home.

She got left at the vet with pyometra which is an infection of the uterus. If she would have been spayed, she wouldn't have almost died. Through generous donations, she got her surgery and she is all healed.

She loves, loves, people. She does well with dogs and gets a little too happy with cats. All she wants is a family!

Please contact us if you would like to meet her. Our email is [email protected] and phone number is 803-783-2119.

Let's get this sweet girl in a home. Click on the link below.

Update: Amara is adopted!

I hope all the moms enjoyed their day. We have a few pets here that were moms

Zora- got abandoned here at our place with her 7 puppies in a crate! She was a great mom. (We still have 4 of them that need adopted, now almost 6 months old)
She is really sweet, wants to be around people, and is very stressed here in the kennels.

Amara- was abandoned with her 6 kittens on the side of the road in a box. She was a great mom and all her kittens got adopted.
She is very sweet, loves giving hugs and cuddling!

They are ready for a permanent home!

We pulled Ducky from a shelter in 2021. She was an old lady that was going to be euthanized. She did not have a good past. She had scars on both her back legs, her teeth looked to be shaved down, but she was the sweetest dog with so much love to give.

She was with us for 2 yrs and then one of our wonderful fosters that had fostered one of our old dogs before, took in Ducky. She renamed her Hattie. She adopted her but we still helped out with her medical needs.

She has had her 3 yrs and shown her what a family is and has shown her so much love! She loved going outside to roll around and dig for moles. She had a neighbor dog friend, when he passed away, she met a new dog friend. She would be so happy to see him and would whine for him. Even though, she lost use of her legs, she was still excited to see her friend and look for moles.

Sadly, her health had declined, she was around 12 or older. She is at the rainbow bridge, run free sweet girl. Enjoy all your new dog friends and trying to find the moles!

Thank you Lynn for taking home the elderly dogs no one wants. You give them love, life, and a family. It is hard when they are elderly with medical needs and knowing they will not be around as long, but I know they are happy. And I know Hattie loved you and her home. I am sorry for your loss and hope you know how much you mean to me and the dogs you give a home to.

Thank you Sarah with Scott Mobile Services for continuing with their care and being there for Hattie on her last day. You are an important part of Apl.

Fostering older pets gives them a nice comfy spot to be in their last days. We have a few older pets that could use that at our place.

Please reach out if interested. We pay for their care and medical needs. They just need love and a place to call home.
