✨ Meet Ellie Mae ✨

Say hello to Ellie Mae, the Southern belle with a heart of gold and the cutest spotted nose we like to call her “kiss marks”—because handing out kisses is her favorite hobby. 💋🐾

At about 1–2 years old and 35 lbs, Ellie Mae is the perfect medium size for both adventures and couch snuggles. She’s already mastered the important stuff: fully potty trained, crate trained, quiet (she’s not a barker!), and sleeps soundly through the night. She’s food motivated, loves her toys, and is happily working on her commands—she’s already got “sit” down and is learning more every day.

What makes Ellie Mae truly special is her gentle, affectionate personality. She loves to be close to her people, walks nicely on a leash, and has great recall. Whether she’s snuggling up beside you or showing off her playful side, Ellie Mae brings joy, wiggles, and unconditional love wherever she goes.

She’s ready to trade in her rough start for the forever family she deserves. 💕

Could this “sweet as a South Carolina peach” girl be your new best friend? 🍑

🚨 Foster or Adopter Needed for Gibby by August 24th! 🚨

We are so grateful to Gibby’s current foster—she truly saved his life. 💕 But this was always meant to be temporary, and Gibby needs a new foster (or even better, a forever home!) starting Sunday, August 24th.

✨ Meet Gibby!! ✨

With his big expressive ears and bright eyes, Gibby is ready to win hearts wherever he goes! He’s about 6 months old, possibly with some Rat Terrier in the mix, and has the smarts and curiosity to prove it.

• No meds other than heartworm/flea/tick prevention

His foster says:
“Pretty calm for a puppy, super friendly, and such a snuggle bug. If I had a fenced-in yard, he would’ve been a foster fail on day one.” 🥹

🚨 URGENT FOSTER NEEDED 🚨
We need a Hail Mary—or a miracle—for this sweet boy. 💔

A Good Samaritan found this deaf pittie wandering alone on the side of the road. She’s been calling him “Big Lou.” He’s only about 3 years old, incredibly gentle, and just wants to be close to people. He’s a total cuddlebug who melts into anyone who shows him kindness. 🥹💙

✨ What we know:
🩺 Heartworm positive (treatment + care covered!)
✂️ Already neutered
🐶 Was an angel at the vet—no aggression toward other dogs
🐕 Met a calm female through the fence and didn’t react (video available!)
🐱 Cats are unknown

Big Lou has been failed too many times. We are begging for a foster—or even better, an adopter—to step up and give him a safe place to land. He deserves a chance at love and security. 💔

👉 Apply to foster or adopt at: www.rosierescue.org

Please share far and wide—his life depends on it. 💌

What do all these puppies have in common?
They were rescued—saved from growing up in the shelter… or worse, not making it out alive.

But now? They’ve been waiting in foster care for months, growing up without a forever home to call their own. 💔

Don’t overlook these older puppies. They may not be tiny babies anymore, but they’re just as lovable—and come with some major perks:

✅ Crate trained
✅ Potty trained
✅ Socialized and ready for family life

Let’s get them out of foster and into forever homes where they belong.

📢 Please share this post—you could be the reason one of them finds their family!

Remember Gibby?! We saved him and look at him now!! 😍

Meet Gibby – Your New Best Friend!

With his big expressive ears and bright eyes, Gibby is ready to win hearts wherever he goes! We think this handsome guy may have some Rat Terrier in the mix—and he’s got the smarts and curiosity to prove it.

Gibby is still learning the ropes of leash walking, but he’s already off to a great start. He’s attentive, eager to please, and we think with a little training and consistency, he’ll be a superstar.

This energetic boy loves squeaky, fuzzy toys (and yes, he’ll happily try to de-fluff them if you’re not looking!). He’s also a big fan of tasty chews like busy bones. And he has the most beautiful brindle coat that shines in the sun.

Gibby would be happiest in a home that can give him daily exercise, playtime, and a bit of training to channel his energy. He’s playful but not over-the-top wild—just the right mix for someone who enjoys an active but manageable companion.

He’s already shown he can get along with other dogs—he did great with an 85 lb canine friend—so he may enjoy having a playmate in his new home.

If you’re looking for a fun, loyal, and lovable buddy to join your adventures, Gibby might be the perfect match!

🐾 A Special Thank You from Thelma! 🐾

Hi friends! 👋 I’m Thelma—a 3-month-old yellow-and-white Chihuahua mix with a big heart and an even bigger thank you to share.

Thanks to the generous donation from HoofandPaw SC, I’ll be getting my spay surgery covered! 💛 Spays and neuters are one of the most expensive medical costs rescues face (right after heartworm treatment), and helping cover them means rescues like mine can save more dogs like me.

A little about me? I’m sweet, playful, and just a tiny bit shy at first—but I warm up quickly. I love other dogs, cats, and kids, so I’m pretty much everyone’s friend. I’m looking for a forever family who’ll help me grow into the loving, confident girl I’m meant to be.

So from me, my rescue friends, and Rosie Rescue—thank you, Hoof and Paw, for helping me (and so many others) get one step closer to our happily-ever-afters. 💕

Cheese
If you’re looking for a dog who will provide endless snuggles and kisses, Cheese is your man. He may be pint-sized, but he is full of personality. Once he’s done zooming around and playing with his toys—especially his tennis ball—he’s ready to snuggle in your lap.

Cheese is the kind of pup who wants to be wherever you are. He will trail behind you, always curious, always close. At bedtime, he’s happiest curled right up in your arms and completely content.

He’s great with other dogs, unbothered by cats, and adores kids, especially the ones who are down for playtime followed by surprise kisses.
