Reminder, if you’ve got a dog stuck outside in this freezing weather, congratulations—you’re not just a dumb a$$hole, you’re a cruel one too. Bring your dog inside where it’s warm, or maybe go sit out there yourself and see how it feels. Be better, or don’t have a dog. 💯🐶

Meet Mack, the sweetest 2-year-old yellow lab looking for his forever home! This adorable pup is house and crate trained, so he’s ready to settle in with his new family without any fuss. Mack is up to date on all his shots and is neutered, making him the perfect candidate for adoption. ✨

Mack is full of energy and love, but there’s one thing this handsome boy needs: a furry friend to join him in his adventures! He thrives with another dog around and would really benefit from a home that has a companion for him to play with. He’s also a fan of having a fenced-in yard where he can run, explore, and soak up the sun.

If you’re an active family or person who can give Mack the time, love, and attention he deserves, he’s ready to be your loyal sidekick. He promises to fill your days with joy and a lot of tail wags! If you think you could be the right fit for Mack, don’t hesitate to email us at [email protected]

🌟✨ It’s Transformation Tuesday! Let’s take a moment to shine a spotlight on this absolute rockstar: Pheonix! 🐾❤️

Just a few months ago, Pheonix came to us from a local shelter, where he was rescued from an unimaginable situation. When he arrived, he had been abandoned in a crate in a deserted apartment after his owners were evicted. With a heartbreaking weight of only 22 pounds—he should be between 65-75 pounds—he was nothing but skin and bones, barely able to stand. 😢 But look at him now!

The journey of healing hasn’t been easy, but Pheonix's strength and resilience have completely transformed him. Today, he’s a stunning example of recovery, vitality, and love. Every day, he grows stronger and more confident, embracing life to the fullest! 🌈💪

And not only is Pheonix strikingly beautiful, but he also possesses the sweetest soul and the sharpest mind.🎉🥰 We’re so proud of the progress he’s made, and it melts our hearts to see him thrive.

As bittersweet as it is to think about his departure, the time is drawing near for him to spread his wings and find the forever family he so desperately deserves. ✈️💕 We will miss him dearly here at Wild Olive Ranch, and he will definitely take a piece of our hearts with him. But seeing him happy and loved in a forever home will be the happiest ending we could wish for!

If you’re interested in welcoming this amazing boy into your life, stay tuned! Pheonix is almost ready to embark on his next big adventure—finding a family who will cherish him as much as we do. 💖

Thank you for following his journey; it only gets better from here! Let's keep sharing love and hope for all animals in need. Together, we can make a difference! 🙌🌟

🎉✨ Happy New Year from all of us at SPCA of the Carolinas! As we step into 2024, we want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to all our incredible supporters. Your generosity truly makes a difference in the lives of those who need us most. Every dollar counts and every effort makes an impact! 💖

We’re kicking off the new year with a heavy heart and hopeful spirit. Since Christmas, we’ve welcomed 5 new rescues into our fold, and they need all the love and support we can give. 🌈

First, please join us in welcoming Ezekiel, lovingly known as ‘Zeke’. 😢 His story began in fear, pain, and hunger—a haunting sight I stumbled upon while out and about in Monroe the day after Christmas. Zeke was tied to an igloo doghouse, left without food or water. At that moment, I couldn’t just walk away. Even with a jam packed house, I knew I had to help.💔

Seeing him stumble towards me, I was struck by how thin and frail he was, skin and bones, freezing and starving. I couldn’t leave him to suffer another day. With a heart full of determination (and a little fear of Matt’s reaction! 😉), I knocked on the door and asked the owner if I could take him. To my surprise, she agreed, and Zeke became part of our family.

At just 6 months old, Zeke has wounds from previous encounters and a long journey ahead of him. But his spirit is unbreakable, and he’s already my little shadow as he adjusts to life at Wild Olive Ranch. Together, we’re cheering him on! 🌟

And Zeke isn’t alone! We also took in four bottle babies from Union County Animal Control after their mom was tragically hit by a car. These sweet pups—Tripp, Penny, Dom, and Cristal—were just weeks old and in dire need of a nurturing home. Thank you to Jenn for your willingness to foster two. I couldn’t let her have all the fun so two more are here 🥂💕

We’re excited to share their stories as they embark on their journeys toward happy forever homes. But we can’t do it alone; we need your help! If you feel inspired to support these sweet souls, please consider donating. Your contributions will go directly toward their care and ensure they have the chance they deserve. 🙏✨

👉 Donate here: https://app.autobooks.co/pay/spca-of-the-carolinas

We’ve also set up wish lists for their care, so feel free to check those out!

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/19T6ITRTFBUT5?ref_=wl_share

Together, we can create happier endings for these precious lives.

Thank you for being our partners in compassion. Happy New Year, and here’s to a year filled with hope, love, and endless possibilities! 💕

🎄❤️ I can never wrap my head around the number of dogs that are dumped at shelters right before Christmas. It’s like the floodgates open! 😢

Today, I went to pick up a sweet pup from the shelter, and the line was full of people surrendering or bringing in “found” dogs. It breaks my heart.

Meet Angel, a 5-pound, 1-year-old male Chihuahua who was found as a stray in the cold. And then there's Oscar, a scared pup, possibly under one year, who was matted and anxious. I was so grateful to scoop him up just as he was being surrendered so he didn’t have to know a cold loud shelter. Oscar weighs only 3-4 pounds and is already a total love bug. 🐾💕

This season is all about love and warmth. If I could wish for one thing, it would be for every dog to have a warm bed and a full belly this Christmas and every day. 🥰

Welcome, Angel and Oscar, to the first day of the rest of your lives! 🌟

Merry Christmas Eve, everyone! If you have room in your heart and home, consider adopting or fostering a pet in need.

Where are all our cat lovers? Meet Kit Kat, an adorable black and white 9 month old kitten. He was found on the side of the road by a good samaritan and taken in. Unfortunately, her son is allergic to Kit Kat, so he needs to find a new home. Who can offer this gorgeous loving neutered boy a forever home?
