Adult (2 years) · Male · Labrador Retriever / Great Dane / Mixed (short coat) · 23 mi from Sandyfield





Foster Pet Alert: Meet Dallas!
Read more about Dallas
I am a tall guy and I might even have a little Great Dane in me or I could be a tall lab mix. I am a 2 year old, 76 lb puppy. I love dogs and need at least one other dog in my life to thrive. I get along with dogs of all sizes and ages although seniors are annoyed by my abounding joy. Paradoxically, I am very calm and chill for such a young pup. I seem to do well with cats that don't run away. I love taking a dip in the doggie pool and splashing in the rain and puddles, but I don’t really care for baths. How funny is that? I am good on a leash. I am not fond of getting in cars and my foster mom is working on that. I am not very food driven, but I am eating a salmon food diet to make my coat shiny. My foster mom defines me as A KEEPER which means she’d keep me if she could. So, I got a personal reference from a dog trainer—Sam, my foster mom is a dog trainer. She’s telling you how awesome I am because I got someone to fall in love with me already. Meet me and you can fall in love with me too. Call Jill at (910) 620-3783 for more info.

2. Sally--DEAF
Adult (3 years 1 month) · Female · Hound (short coat) · 23 mi from Sandyfield


SPECIAL NEEDS ALERT! Meet Sally! I am a DEAF 4 year old hound who weighs about 40 pounds. I am very pretty. I can be playful and fun when I want to. I am curious and smart, but I can't hear commands or reprimands so you need to figure out how to communicate with me. I respond to touch and I like to see you. I am crate trained, good with other dogs and cats and older kids. If you have other dogs I will follow them around and do what they do and I am very food motivated. I want to be with people and I cry when I am left alone. I can be quite vocal since I can't hear myself--so no apartment living for this girl.

I tested positive for Heartworms and they are treating me. There is no extra charge for it. They cover the cost. I can go foster to adopt through the treatment since it is a longer process. Do you have any experience with deaf dogs? Can you help them help me? Call Jill at (910) 620-3783 for a personal meet and greet.

Rocket
Hi, it’s me, Rocket. I’m a purebred Maltese guy, only 4 years old and not quite 7 pounds. All my doctor’s visits are done, and I have a clean bill of health and sparkly white teeth. Of course, they all fell in love with me there!
I’m working on my house manners but will need your support to get me outside often. I’ve been doing my “big business” outside. I’m learning not to lift my leg inside and I can wear a belly band until I get the hang of it. I like exploring in the fenced yard and doing my zoomies. I’m very fast - like a rocket! I like walking on the leash now too. I’ve been sleeping in my crate at night and never had an accident. I wouldn’t mind sleeping in your bed with you, though.
I’m athletic and can jump and climb. Sometimes, I need to be reminded of the “no” places. May I suggest that you don’t leave goodies on the coffee table unless you’re willing to share them?
I used to be a “stud muffin” but those days are over. Now I want to BE somebody’s baby. I love to be loved! People are my favorite thing, although food and treats are a close second. I mostly get along with other dogs (cats unknown), but I like all the attention and would rather not share your lap, so maybe I could be your “one and only”.
Rocket, based on his age, falls under our Seniors for Seniors policy:
The age rescue that SCMR is happy to consider adopting to applicants that are 70+ years old is 7+. Full policy details, please visit our website.

I’m in my foster home in Little River, SC right now waiting for you.

Adopting a dog in Sandyfield
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
