🚨🚨 ATTENTION COLUMBUS COUNTY 🚨🚨

Okay… we need to talk.

What is going on with y’all and these brown dogs in blue collars lately?! 🤨

Because at this point it’s starting to feel less like a coincidence and more like a club… and nobody told us the password.

🐶 Blue collar? ✔️
🐶 Brown dog? ✔️
🐶 Out here living their best free-range life? ✔️✔️✔️

We’ve got a whole lineup of them sitting here like:
“Yeah… I belong to somebody… I think…”

Meanwhile their owners are probably at home like:
“Hmm… it’s a little quieter today…” 😐

💥 If you are missing your brown dog with a blue collar… CONGRATS… we might have your little escape artist.

Please come reclaim your dog ASAP with:
✔️ Proof of ownership (pictures, vet records, etc.)
✔️ A plan to keep Houdini from hitting the streets again

Because while they’re cute… this ain’t a “drop your dog off and let APS babysit” program 😌

🐾🍓 A Heartfelt Thank You to Robinsons Produce Farms! 🍓🐾

We want to send a sincere thank you to Robinsons Produce Farms for inviting Columbus County Animal Protective Services out to their wonderful event on Saturday, 4/25/2026! 💛

We had an amazing time meeting so many kind members of our community, enjoying a beautiful day, and sharing some very special shelter pets with everyone. The highlight of the day? Watching two sweet kittens, Johnny and June, find their forever home together with a wonderful family! 🐱💕🏡

We were also grateful for the opportunity to pass out important informational handouts about Rabies, Parvo, and the importance of keeping pets safely contained. Educating our community is such an important part of what we do, and we loved being able to help spread awareness while connecting with so many wonderful people. 🐾📚

Moments like these remind us how powerful community support can be and how much of a difference it makes for the animals in our care. We truly appreciate the opportunity, the hospitality, and everyone who stopped by to support us.

Thank you again, Robinsons Produce Farms, for helping us spread love, education, awareness, and second chances. We can’t wait to see everyone again at our next FREE Rabies Clinic in Delco at the end of May! 🐾💉

*NO LONGER AVAILABLE*

🐾💙 MEET CHARLIE: PROFESSIONAL GOOD BOY & FULL-TIME CHAOS COORDINATOR 💙🐾

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to live with a dog who wakes up every day like it’s the BEST DAY OF HIS ENTIRE LIFE…
✨ Congratulations. You’ve found him. ✨

Charlie is a neutered husky mix with two speeds only:

🚀 FULL SEND
😴 recharging for more FULL SEND

This boy is wide open ALL the time—whether it’s zoomies, tail wags, or aggressively loving you like you just got back from war after taking the trash out.

💅 Ladies, take note: Charlie is a certified lover boy.
He’s got a soft spot for the girls and will absolutely turn on the charm (and the puppy eyes) to secure extra treats and attention. And honestly? It works. Every. Time.

🍖 Speaking of treats…
If you have snacks, Charlie will:
• Sit ✔️
• Stay (kinda) ✔️
• Love you forever ✔️
• Possibly sell your soul for one more ✔️

He’s up to date on all his shots, full of personality, and just waiting on someone to match his energy (or at least tolerate it 😂).

💥 What you’re signing up for:
• Nonstop entertainment
• A built-in hype man
• Unlimited tail wags
• A shadow that loves you real hard
• Occasional chaos (okay… frequent chaos)

🏡 What Charlie wants:
A home, a couch, some snacks, and someone to love him as big as he loves EVERYTHING.

Location: 288 Legion Drive Whiteville NC
Phone Number: 910-641-3945

⚠️ Warning: Side effects of adopting Charlie may include excessive smiling, laughing, and wondering how you ever lived without him.

👉 Charlie is READY TO GO HOME… are you ready for him? 🐾💙

🧡🤍 HAZEL (Calico Female)
Alias: Miss Ma’am, The Drama Department
Crimes:
• Serving looks 24/7 💅
• Judging you silently… but loudly somehow
• Acting like she pays bills in YOUR house
She’s got sass, class, and just enough sweetness to keep you hooked like a reality TV show you can’t quit.

She is:
✔️ Ready for her forever home
✔️ Not sorry about her behavior
✔️ Certified entertainment system
✔️ 10/10 would ruin your life (in the best way)

Either way, your house will never be peaceful again—and honestly? You don’t want it to be.

📍Come meet her before someone else makes a better life decision than you.
