🍯🐾 MEET HONEY 🐾🍯

Honey is 7 years old, fully vaccinated, and honestly… just a professional couch potato with a heart of gold. 💛

She’s sweet, calm, and has officially reached her “old fart” era — where naps are sacred, snacks are life, and drama is for puppies. 😴🐶

Honey is the kind of gal who’s seen it all, rolled her eyes at it, and then gone back to snoozing. If you want a low-maintenance, loveable sidekick who won’t chew your shoes but WILL hog the blanket… Honey’s your girl. 🛋️💕

Adopt Honey, and bring home all the love (and none of the puppy chaos)!

💜ADOPTED💜

🚨🤣 MEET CHIEF 🤣🚨

Chief is 3 years old, fully vaccinated, and ready to run your household like the world’s goofiest sheriff. 👮‍♂️🐾

Don’t let that serious face fool you… this dude is about 90% wiggle-butt, 10% snack thief, and 100% pure comedy. He’s the kind of dog that’ll stare at you like you just said something dumb… but then immediately trip over his own feet. 🤦‍♂️🐶

Chief’s hobbies include:
⭐ Making you laugh at completely inappropriate times
⭐ Pretending to be a guard dog, but melting for belly rubs
⭐ Looking like he’s about to drop the hottest rap album of 2025 🎤🐕

If you’ve been searching for a loyal sidekick who’s equal parts sweet and ridiculous, Chief is your guy. Come adopt him before someone else claims this four-legged comedian! 🐾❤️

💜ADOPTED💜

😂🐾 MEET DRAC 🐾😂

This is Drac. He’s 2 years old, fully vaccinated, and certified goofy as heck.

He may look like he’s plotting world domination… but really he’s just wondering if you dropped snacks on the floor. 🤣

Drac is tall, dark, and handsome — basically the dog version of that awkward guy at the gym who flexes in the mirror but then trips over the weights. 💪🐶

If you adopt him, you won’t need Netflix anymore. He’s his own comedy show, 24/7.

Claim this sweet, derpy vampire dog before someone else does. 🦇❤️

🚨🐾 ADOPT TOOTHLESS 🐾🚨

Meet Toothless – our big, beautiful house panther who’s basically the feline star of My 600lb Life (but make it cute 😹).

✨ 3 years old
✨ Neutered
✨ Up to date on all vaccines
✨ Professional snack enthusiast & certified lap-warmer

Don’t let that intense stare fool you – he’s just plotting how to fit more treats into his daily schedule. If you’re looking for a chunky cuddle buddy with the eyes of a panther and the heart of a teddy bear, Toothless is your guy. 🖤

Come scoop him up before someone else realizes he’s the total package! 🐱💚

💔🐾 Help Us Get Them Home 🐾💔

These are our current strays—sweet souls who have found their way into our shelter, but who truly belong back with their families. Each of them came in scared and unsure, but with eyes full of hope that someone will come looking.

Our biggest wish is to see them reunited with the people who love them. Please take a moment to look closely, share this post, and help spread the word. The right share could be the one that gets them back home where they belong.

If you recognize any of these pets, please contact us right away. Let’s work together to give them the happy reunion they deserve. 🏡❤️

UPDATE: Melody has been adopted!

💜🐾 Meet Melody 🐾💜

Sweet Melody is looking for her forever home. This beautiful girl has so much love to give, but she also carries some anxiety that makes her need a family who can offer her patience, understanding, and gentle reassurance.

She deserves a second chance—a new start with people who will see past her worries and recognize the amazing companion she can be. With love and stability, Melody will blossom into the loyal, devoted dog we know she is.

🏡✨ Could you be the one to give Melody the home she’s been waiting for? She’s ready to meet you today!

✈️🐾 Thank You, Shelter Dog Transport Alliance 🐾✈️

Our hearts are so full of gratitude for Shelter Dog Transport Alliance, who sent a plane to pick up two of our momma dogs and their puppies for rescue transport. Because of their dedication and compassion, these little families are on their way to brighter futures filled with love and second chances. 💛

We are truly grateful for their continued support in helping us better the lives of animals here in Columbus County. Each transport means more space in our shelter, more hope for the ones still waiting, and most importantly—another step toward happy endings for these deserving souls.

🐶✨ Please remember: Adopting saves lives. If you can, open your heart and home to adoption—it makes all the difference.

*FOUND*

This sweet Shepherd boy was found in Fair Bluff over the weekend. He was found wearing an electric collar, so we know he has a family that is dearly missing him somewhere close by. Please share this post so we can reunite him with his family💙

💔🐾 Looking for Their Families 🐾💔

These are the faces of the stray dogs that have recently been brought into our shelter. Each one arrived with uncertainty in their eyes, missing the comfort of home and the people they love. We know someone out there must be missing them just as much as they are missing you.

Our greatest hope is to reunite these sweet souls with their families. No animal deserves to be left wondering why their world has changed so suddenly.

If you recognize any of them, or know someone who might, please call our shelter at 910-641-3945. Sharing this post could be the reason a lost pet makes it back into the arms of their family.

Let’s bring them home. 🏡❤️

🥳ADOPTED ☺

🐹💥 Snoopy the Guinea Pig Is Up for Adoption — And He's Kind of a Big Dill 💥🐹

Snoopy might be small, but his personality? Larger than life.
Part-time snack goblin, full-time potato with feet.

🥕 Hobbies include:

Dramatically squeaking when the fridge opens

Rearranging his bedding like a tiny interior designer

Looking confused (but cute) 24/7

🎶 He’s got the voice of an angel.
(If angels scream for lettuce at 3pm.)

✨ Pros:
✔️ Soft like a cloud
✔️ Surprisingly judgmental for someone who poops 86 times a day
✔️ Won’t steal your fries — just your heart

⚠️ Cons:
❌ May cause excessive smiling
❌ Demands veggie tribute daily
❌ Could lead to accidental adoption of 3 more guinea pigs "so he has friends"

Snoopy is single, ready to mingle (with salad), and accepting applications for his forever home.

📩 Message us before he eats another carrot out of boredom. 🐾
