I get bored sometimes and get into trouble in the yard. They said I am good in the house though, so they let me have run of the house while they are at work.

I’m crate trained and fully potty trained, but my favorite place to sleep is still near my people. Pro tip: if you hear the ice machine, watch me come running. Ice cubes are my love language.
Looking for my forever people who want a great walking/hiking partner, but also a snuggly girl who will follow them from room to room. Come meet me? I already want to sit on your feet.

My name is Fenwick, and my favorite letter is F! I’m a friendly, fun-loving, 1-year-old Beagle mix with a fondness for meeting new people and making furry friends. I weigh in at 26 fine pounds, and I’m still filling out a little!

Unlike some of my fellow Beagles, I’ve decided that being quiet is better than barking fervently. I’m more of a tail-wagging, face-licking, friendship-making kind of fellow!

Read more about Fenwick

You can find me exploring and wagging my tail nearly every day! Take me to the forest, let me frolic through some flowers, bring me along to festivals, visit a friend’s house, or take me to the Farmer’s Market. I’m always up for a little fun! I’m great in the car and fairly fluent in following along on my leash.

And the crate? Well, food has quickly taught me that it’s a safe and comfortable space. Give me a fine little morsel, and I’ll happily head right in! I’m also house-trained and already know how to follow a few important instructions, like “sit.”

If you’re looking for a friendly, fun-loving companion to fill your family with furry friendship, please consider meeting me! I come FULLY VETTED and absolutely full of love.

I can’t wait to find my forever family! ❤️

Adult · Male · American Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 91 mi from Greenwood

Meet Sugar Cane! A wonderful companion who's as well-mannered as he is lovable! This smart pup knows all the basics, including sit, down, and stay with both verbal and hand signals. He’s house-trained, crate-trained, and happily settles on his bed when given the "place" or "spot" command. When it's time to unwind, he’ll quietly retreat to his kennel on cue for "quiet time." He even has a fun trick up his sleeve—he’ll happily offer a paw for a "patty cake" shake!
On walks, this enthusiastic pup may start out excited to explore, but quickly settles into a relaxed pace and walks nicely with a loose leash.

29. Bonni

Adult · Female · Treeing Walker Coonhound · 67 mi from Greenwood

Hi! My name is Bonni. I am a timid, sweet loving girl who needs to earn trust with people she meets. It takes a little bit to warm up but does take a treat gently from your hand. Sitting with me is fine and would like that much more. I would like a backyard with a tall fence since I may escape from a shorter fence. Once I get use to things I may love to go on walks. I do fine with other dogs and kids who are gentle with me. I do need cat tested. Come meet me and hang out with me.To adopt one of our animals, please visit our shelter, open Tuesday-Friday from Noon-5pm and Saturday from Noon-4pm. You may also submit an application online from our website at http://www.HelpTheAnimalsINC.com/adopt.

30. Lulu

Adult (2 years 5 months) · Female · Basset Hound · 91 mi from Greenwood

Meet Lulu! Lulu is a sweet 2 1/2 year-old female basset hound looking for a new home. Lulu is a very friendly and loving girl who for the most part is pretty quiet! She loves to play with toys and she loves to snuggle! And she has these eyes that will win you over and have you wrapped around her little paw!

Read more about Lulu

We do not know Lulu‘s complete background, we were told that one of her former owners was older and had a hard time walking so she was rehomed. We were also told that there was another Former Owner who was moving out of state and could not take her. The family that relinquished Lulu to us loved her dearly but was having an issue with Lulu not wanting to share her humans with the other dogs in the house.

She did feed Lulu separately due to some food aggression with her other dogs. She is definitely a basset when it comes to getting into some things left out! She is cute and sneaky!

Lulu will need a home with somebody who has previously owned a basset hound and is familiar with their stubborn nature! She is dog selective as she was fine with one of the other dogs in her last home but did not want to share her human with the other. New owners will need to discipline her and teach her sharing manners. She is not cat tested.

Kids age 10 minimum. She will also require a home with a fenced in yard. Lulu‘s adoption fee is $300 and she is spayed and up-to-date on all of her shots. If

Why adopt an adult dog in Greenwood

An adult dog's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are already house-trained.

Grown dogs need less supervision than puppies and often know the basics, like sitting and walking on a leash, which suits people who work or have young children.
