6. Zora
Zora… a name meaning dawn or morning light, symbolizing new beginnings and hope. And that’s exactly what this sweet girl deserves. ❤️
Unrecognizable from the day she arrived, Zora has blossomed into a beautiful, happy girl who is ready to enjoy her retirement years surrounded by love. As with many seniors, she has a few ongoing medical needs, but they certainly don't dim her light or slow her down from enjoying all the little things life has to offer.
Read more about Zora
Zora is currently looking for a foster-to-adopt home while she awaits removal of her remaining smaller mammary masses.

☀️ Long, leisurely naps
Cozy blankets and comfy beds
Slow, peaceful mornings
️ Early dinners

8. Libby
Meet Libby — Professional Napper & Part-Time Chihuahua
Libby is a 10-year-old Chihuahua mix who has perfected the art of taking life at her own pace. Her favorite activities include lounging on her dog bed, enjoying the comforts of home, and generally reminding everyone that she has absolutely no interest in being rushed. ❤️
Libby does have some special medical needs. She has a severe case of luxating patellas and significant arthritis, but don’t let that fool you — this little lady gets around remarkably well! She will need to continue monthly Librela injections to help keep her comfortable and manage her arthritis.
Read more about Libby
At about 5 pounds, Libby is a tiny girl. She is currently a little thin, but because her joints are already significantly compromised, we do not want her gaining additional weight. Keeping her at a healthy, lean weight is important to help minimize stress on her already stretched-thin joints.
And then there’s Libby’s personality.
In true Chihuahua fashion, Libby is not exactly a “hello, stranger, let’s be best friends!” kind of girl. She can be very standoffish when meeting new people and will need time to decide that you are worthy of her trust. She is looking for someone who understands that relationships take time and is willing to let her come around at her own pace.
Once she settles in, Libby is actually a very easy little companion. She doesn’t need a busy lifestyle or a packed social calendar. Give her a comfortable dog bed, a peaceful home, and someone willing to respect her boundaries, and she’ll be perfectly content to snooze the day away.
Because of her age, medical needs, and desire for a calm environment, Libby needs a patient home with no children under 15.
Libby is looking for:
A patient adopter who will allow her time to decompress and build trust A calm, predictable home ❤️ Someone committed to her ongoing medical care, including monthly Librela injections ⚖️ A home that will help her maintain a healthy, lean weight No children under 15 ️ And, preferably, a very comfortable dog bed
Libby may not be the dog who runs into your arms on the first meeting — and honestly, she would probably prefer that you didn't. But if you’re willing to let this little senior lady take things at her own pace, you may just earn yourself a devoted companion who is perfectly happy to spend her golden years right by your side.
Libby isn't looking for a perfect home. She's looking for the right one.
Her adoption fee is $200 and she is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and on heartworm prevention. If you can give this sweet, spicy, sassy girl the best end of her life she promises she will be thankful, maybe just not right away though.

9. Jesse
Jesse is a 2 year old 8-lb Chihuahua mix with a big personality, strong opinions, and absolutely no interest in pretending she doesn’t know what she wants.
And what does Jesse want?
Men. Specifically, she would like a men-only household, and if there happen to be two daddies, well… she considers that the deluxe package.
Women? Jesse’s official review is basically: “They’re fine, I guess.” Men, however? Now we’re talking. ❤️
Read more about Jesse
This tiny girl is ready to find her forever home where she can be adored, spoiled, and treated like the important little celebrity she clearly believes herself to be. At only 8 pounds, she’s basically a travel-sized diva with a surprisingly large personality.
Jesse is:
8 lbs of Chihuahua-mix fabulousness
✂️ Spayed
Fully vaccinated
Microchipped
❤️ Heartworm negative
Adoption fee: $275
If you’re a gentleman—or, even better, two gentlemen with excellent taste in tiny dogs—Jesse may have already decided you’re her people.

10-year-old, 68-pound Shepherd mix
(or at least that’s our best guess but we do have her DNA test pending!), and she is the definition of a good girl. She’s incredibly sweet, loves

Read more about Shelby
Don’t let her age fool you — Shelby has plenty of pep left in her step and a
very impressive brain!
In fact, she’s so smart that she has figured out how to open gates. Because of her clever escape-artist abilities, Shelby will need to be supervised whenever she’s outside in an unsecured area. Think of her as a furry little engineer who is always looking for her next project!
And here’s another bonus:
Shelby could be an amazing apartment dog!
She doesn’t need a huge yard to be happy. What she really wants is a loving person or family, some walks and enrichment, a cozy place to nap, and plenty of companionship.
Shelby is
spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and had normal labwork on 8/27/26.
She’s ready to leave the shelter and start her next chapter with someone who will love her as much as she deserves.

Shelby may just be your perfect match!

Anya is a beautiful 3-year-old, 91 lbs Great Pyrenees with all the qualities you hope for in a livestock guardian—and the gentle heart to match.
She is currently protecting horses, pigs, goats, and sheep, and does an excellent job with every member of her herd. Anya gets along wonderfully with all of her livestock, respects fencing, and takes her guardian duties seriously while remaining calm and dependable.
Read more about Anya
Beyond the pasture, Anya is an incredibly sweet girl who enjoys spending time with her people. While she has been living as a working livestock guardian, we believe she could also thrive as an indoor companion with patient guidance and a family willing to help her adjust to house life. Like many Great Pyrenees, she'll appreciate clear expectations, consistency, and a little time to settle into a new routine.
Anya is currently working on her leash manners and continues to make progress. She's eager to learn and would do best with a family that understands the independent but loyal nature of the breed.
If you're looking for a devoted livestock guardian or a gentle giant to become part of your family, Anya may be the perfect match. She has a loving personality, a strong work ethic, and so much to offer the right home.

13. Roxie
If you’re looking for a dog who’s traded zoomies for naps, chaos for cuddles, and drama for peaceful companionship, then Roxie is your girl.
At 10 years young and 45 pounds, Roxie is the definition of easygoing. She’s the kind of dog who’s happiest simply being near her people—whether that’s snoozing by your feet while you watch TV, joining you for a leisurely stroll, or politely supervising dinner preparations in hopes of a snack or two.
Roxie is wonderfully well-mannered. She’s
housetrained
,
crate trained
, and gets along beautifully with
dogs, cats, and kids
Read more about Roxie
. That said, she’s reached the age where she appreciates a little peace and quiet. She’d love a canine companion who’s equally laid-back, but she’d politely like to decline living with any young, rambunctious whippersnappers who think every hour is playtime.
She is currently
heartworm positive
, but don’t let that scare you away. Heartworm disease is treatable, and she’ll need a family willing to help her through the treatment process so she can enjoy many more happy years ahead.
Roxie has the sweetest soul and the kindest eyes. She’s not asking for much—just a soft bed, a loving family, and a home where she can spend her golden years knowing she’s safe and cherished.
Sometimes the best dogs aren’t the youngest—they’re the ones who’ve already mastered how to love.
Roxie is ready to steal your heart. Could you be the happy ending she’s been waiting for?
Her adoption fee is $250. She is up to date on vaccines, on heartworm treatment, microchipped, had recent labwork that was overall good with elevated values due to her heartworm disease that should resolve once she is heartworm negative and spayed.

16. Pippa
Meet Pippa!
If you’re looking for a playful, smart, slightly chaotic, and very lovable best friend… Pippa would like to introduce herself!
Pippa is a house-trained, crate-trained, and leash-trained girl who is ready to find her forever family. She’s an absolute sweetheart once she gets to know you, but she can be a little shy with new people at first. Give her a little time to warm up, and you’ll discover a total love bug who just wants to be your best friend.
Read more about Pippa
Pippa is very playful, obedient, and eager to please—with just a tiny bit of herding-dog “ADHD energy” mixed in. She’s a busy girl who loves having something to do and would thrive with a family that enjoys keeping her mind and body entertained.
She’s friendly with other animals, although her herding instincts definitely kick in when something runs… because apparently Pippa has a job to do! For that reason, she’d probably do best with larger, playful dogs who can keep up with her energy and enthusiasm.
She may take a little patience at first, but once Pippa decides you’re her person, prepare for maximum wiggles, affection, and unconditional love. ❤️
✨ Pippa is looking for a forever home that will love her big personality, appreciate her goofy herding-dog ways, and give her all the playtime and cuddles she deserves.
Could Pippa be your new best friend?
She is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, heartworm and flea prevention and heartworm negative. Her adoption fee is $250. Please use this link for the application to be approved for adoption: https://toolkit.rescuegroups.org/of/f?c=SGVJMGQY

17. Kodak
Kodak is a 3-year-old black mini poodle weighing in at a mighty 10 pounds of fluff, attitude, and excellent observational skills. He prefers to keep watch from the sidelines before deciding if the activity is worthy of his participation — very management material of him.
This little guy is cuddly, loyal, and loves lounging near his people, preferably somewhere soft and cozy where he can monitor the household like the tiny supervisor he was born to be. He’s friendly and affectionate, but Kodak does have a few inconsistent boundaries, so he’d do best with people who understand that sometimes tiny dogs contain very big feelings.
Read more about Kodak
Kodak is excellent on leash and happy to trot alongside you for errands, neighborhood walks, or wherever the day takes you. He’s not looking to climb mountains — he’s more of a “let’s stroll around town and then go home for snacks” kind of guy.
If you’re looking for a quirky little companion with loads of personality, expressive eyes, and just the right amount of sass, Kodak may be your perfect match.
He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, on heartworm prevention, heartworm negative and ready to roll! His adoption fee is $400. Please use this link for the application to be approved for adoption:

Adopting a dog in Kingstree
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.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
