Friends of Upstate SC, our shelter dogs needs your help! 🐾

Oshi needs a foster with tennis ball clearance. 🎾

CCA renovations are underway, and Oshi would very much like to take her tennis ball tour off-site.

Oshi is a sweet, sporty girl with a serious résumé. Her command list is impressive, her car ride manners are solid, and her interest in water is immediate. Dog pool, river, lake, questionable puddle with confidence — she’s listening.

She loves a good game, but she’ll also trade the ball for belly rubs like a very fair businesswoman. Add a pup cup and a place in your daily routine, and she’s ready to clock in as someone’s dog.

Oshi is top notch. Truly. She just hasn’t had the kind of connection that sticks yet. A foster home could be the first place she gets to exhale and feel like she belongs.

Oshi’s ideal foster setup:
• Adults or older teens
• Fetch-friendly humans
• Water time welcome
• Car rides encouraged
• Dog social with the right match
• A routine she can join

Supplies are provided, and you’ll have a point of contact for support.

CCA is under renovation, and Duke has decided the acoustics are bad for his brand.

Duke is a goofy character with loose, full-body wiggles and a personality that makes you wonder what bit of internal commentary is playing in his head. He loves having a job, a game, or a reason to gallop around like he just got excellent news.

Indoors, Duke is happy to settle with a chew toy and enjoy the very important business of being included. He has completed basic obedience, and since he has grown up at the shelter, we’d love for his foster to visit him a few times first so he can get comfortable before heading out on his renovation vacay.

Duke’s ideal foster setup:
• Adult-only home
• No cats
• Someone who enjoys a smart, active dog
• Walks, enrichment, yard time, and chew toys
• Knows his basics
• Dog social with the right match

Supplies are provided, and you’ll have a point of contact for support.

Help Indy find a temporary foster home! ❤️

Indy supports shelter renovations. From a distance. Preferably from someone’s living room.

About Indy:
Indy is a big, happy, people-loving senior girl with tappy feet, a giant smile, and the kind of personality that enters the room five seconds before she does. She has never met a human stranger, only future members of the Indy Appreciation Society.

She would love a foster home where she can be the only pet and enjoy the simple luxuries: walks, snack breaks, belly rubs, lounging about, and being told she is beautiful even though she already knows. She has previous home experience, so settling back in would be a breath of fresh air for her.

Best foster fit:
• Adults and older teens
• Only-pet setup
• Steady, loving home
• Easy walks and yard time
• Belly rubs encouraged
• Chair, couch, or throne
• Human fan club preferred

Supplies are provided, and you’ll have a point of contact for support.

CCA’s longest-staying resident, Monk, is seeking a foster family willing to host one large cartoon ham. 🐾

Monk is built like somebody’s uncle, thinks squeaker toys are a personal challenge, and approaches affection like he has been waiting his entire life for you to notice him.

He is big, goofy, tender, and deeply unserious. The kind of dog who trots through the yard with his whole chest, splashes in a kiddie pool like he owns waterfront property, and then leans into you like, yes, this is obviously where he belongs. He wants to be someone’s best friend in the most Monk way possible: loudly, sweetly, snackfully, and with his entire ridiculous body.

Best foster fit:
• Adult-only home
• No cats
• Backyard hangouts
• Kiddie pool time
• Squeaker toys at request
• Snack negotiations
• Affection on demand
• May enjoy a sturdy, happy female dog

Monk recently found himself a shelter “girlfriend,” and he has shown loose, relaxed body language and real interest in playing with her. We think he may be open to hanging out with the right confident female dog that doesn’t mind slobbery kisses.

Supplies are provided, and you’ll have a point of contact for support.

Give Monk the foster vacation he’s been trying to manifest: https://tinyurl.com/CCAfoster

Violet is looking for a temporary foster home while shelter renovations continue, with less drilling and more snack bag crinkle. 🐾

About Violet:
Violet is a belly-flopping sweetheart with a toy almost always tucked in her mouth like she has very important errands to run. She has lived in a home before, settled in beautifully, and would love a place where she can enjoy backyard time, snack breaks, toy collecting, and quality lounging between her happy little bursts of play.

Best foster fit:
• Happy medium energy
• Backyard lounging approved
• Toy collecting encouraged
• Playtime, snacks, and nap breaks
• Possible dog friend

Violet is 8 years old, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Supplies are provided, and you’ll have a point of contact for support.

CCA is mid-renovation, and Eve is ready for a softer place to land.

Eve does not do half-hearted happy. Rescued from a complicated start and motherhood far too young, she is now making up for lost time with every toy toss, zoomie, and victory lap she can collect. She is bouncy, playful, and always ready for whatever activity the day has to offer. Since Eve has never truly had the chance to learn home life, she would benefit from a foster who can offer patience, direction, and the chance to figure it all out one happy little step at a time.

Her ideal foster setup:
• Best with playful male dog friends
• Someone patient and steady
• Happy to help her learn home life
• Appreciates a silly, high-spirited girl
• Adult-only home
• No cats

Eve is 3 years old, spayed, microchipped, and UTD on vaccinations. Supplies are provided, and you’ll have a point of contact for support.

Our dogs are accepting vacation homes. 🐾

CCA is in renovation mode, which is wonderful for the shelter and deeply inconvenient for the dogs who did not approve the construction soundtrack.

We’re looking for Doggy Vacay Fosters to give a few shelter dogs a quieter place to test a couch, supervise snack distribution, and take a break from the renovation department.

A weekend, a week, or longer if you’re able. We provide the supplies and a point of contact to help along the way.

Fostering gives our dogs relief from the noise and routine changes, while helping us learn who they are in a home. The shelter tells us a lot, but a foster home tells us the good stuff.

And yes, foster-to-adopt is absolutely an option if your “vacation guest” starts looking suspiciously like family.

Over the next few days, we’ll introduce the dogs currently applying for temporary vacation homes.

FOSTER SPOTLIGHT: DARTH TATER 🖤

Darth Tater is in foster, and apparently his main personality traits are snuggles, suspicious athleticism, and being just a little bit weird on purpose.

He is that very specific kind of black cat who can be curled up beside you like a velvet loaf one minute, then suddenly tearing through the room like he has somewhere important to be and no idea where that is.

Foster notes on The Tater:

• Cuddly, but not clingy
• Independent, but still sweet
• A little awkward in the best way
• Big fan of laser toy drama
• Dedicated toy mouse hunter
• Prone to surprise zoomie outbreaks
• Best with a playful, snuggly female cat friend

Darth Tater is looking for a home that appreciates a cat with layers. He likes affection, but he is not trying to become a scarf. He enjoys his independence, but he still wants a person nearby to admire his strange little choices.

Apply to adopt Darth Tater at CCAweb.org
