Bowzer is at Columbia Animal Services in Columbia, SC. We are seeking a Medical Pull for him by a 501c3 rescue due to his respiratory infection issues.

A292863 Bowzer
1y UNNEUTERED male
40lb heartworm negative
Came in as a stray 4/23/24, waiting for neuter surgery
Friendly with people, kids, and dogs per observations
On meds still but more improved
Crate trained
Gentle and quiet

From the vet:
5/10 noted to have respiratory infection. Hospitalized on IV fluids and antibiotics.
5/11 took to home medical foster and on fluids. Has frequent coughing, low appetite, and increased respiratory rate consistent with pneumonia
Appetite has been on and off.
5/28/24: Will intermittently have coughing spells and occasionally hack up mucoid material. Lungs greatly improved - suspected aspiration pneumonia.
6/20/24: Still coughing up green mucus, but otherwise doing good, eating and drinking. Per foster parent coughing has improved minorly, but still consistent.

From his foster parent:
I've had Bowzer since May 17th. He's a goofy little boy. Even though he doesn’t always feel well he's still acts like a puppy. He's loves toys!!!! He will destroy the plushy ones but not right away! He'll roll on his back and squeak his toy, so cute!
He's interested in my cat but doesn't chase her. He wants to play with my dog but most of the time my dog doesn't want too. Occasionally they will play and it's mostly my dog trying to "hump" and Bowzer trying to chew on his collar.
Bowzer loves chewing on leashes. Anytime I see him with something inappropriate, like my sock, I just take it away and give him a toy.
His coughing is getting better. He's coughing up mucus now. You can tell that it does exhaust him. 💧
His appetite has always been good.
He sits in the bathroom every day for a "steam bath" and is used to it now. I go with him. He doesn’t mind baths. He's very quiet in his room. He stays in the room across mine with a gate. When I come home he doesn’t bark.
He's very house trained. No accidents at all the whole time.
He's very cool and unique!

*Update 6/14/24: Winston's behavior has been coming around and since we have opened up some space, he is currently no longer at risk. He is not yet up for adoption, he will need to be neutered first.

* Winston is at Columbia Animal Services in Columbia, SC. He is people selective, he does not like men at all. Due to this behavior, he is at risk of being euthanatized if he is not pulled by 4pm on Friday, June 14th

Rescue pull only. Because of his behavior, he is not available for adoption since it is a liability issue, and we do not have the resources to work with him.

3y NEUTERED male
76lb heartworm negative
Very friendly with people per observations
Came in as a stray 5/14/24, went up for adoption 5/21/24
Play group notes: he was social, playful, and plays rough but otherwise did great

Notes from volunteers:
Sonic still behaves like a young pup despite the fact that he’s around three years old. He seems to love toys, loves to jump around, and has great, playful energy. Be ready for some jumpy hugs from this one! We’re sure with just a little bit of training this sweet boy will learn to keep four paws on the ground in no time.

Help Tikos stay OUT OF SHELTER!! - Tikos is located with a foster on behalf of Columbia Animal Services in Columbia, SC....

Help Tikos stay OUT OF SHELTER!! - Tikos is located with a foster on behalf of Columbia Animal Services in Columbia, SC. He is available for adoption.

TIKOS!! Tikos has been with our shelter far too long. He was adopted from us as a puppy then bounced around from house to house. He found his way back to shelter and has been in a foster home since November. This playful boy is longing for a life of love and stability. Let’s help him find that! Tikos’ nomadic lifestyle thus far has left him with some insecurities. His amazing foster family has been working with our shelter trainer to help him build confidence. Thanks to the generous support of his foster family, his training package can be transferred to a committed adopter!
Interested in meeting Tikos? Reach out!

A278958 Tikos
2y NEUTERED male
70lb heartworm negative
Came in as a stray 10/2/23, went up for adoption 10/10/23
See fosters note for more info.

From Tikos foster parent:

May Update:
He’s doing great! It’s slow moving, but it’s progressing. This week we were able to get “stranger danger” closer than 20 feet and tossing him treats. So steps 1-3 below. He’s still very anxious but calms a little more quickly than he used to.
The gate is just overly precautious more to make people more comfortable if he’s overly barky, but he’s getting better about that. 1st volunteer came to test with him and we lasted maybe 3 min. A 2nd volunteer came a few days later and it was a little better. A 3rd volunteer came after that and every time he is getting better. A 4th volunteer came after that one. Tuesday we had the trainer and her friend and it went incredibly well.
Some recent training videos:

April Update:
Tremendously Terrific Tikos is looking for his forever home. He’s about 2 years old and maybe 70 pounds. He’s very dog friendly and loves to wrestle, he’d love to have a similar sized doggy friend. He loves to be petted and is a huge fan of treats, he’ll even sit for them. He’s mostly housetrained. He can be a little jumpy, we are working on that, so while he’s friendly toward children he does need to be monitored around them to make sure he doesn’t accidentally jump on them (honestly all dogs should be supervised around kids anyway). He’s pretty interested in our cats, so we’d recommend a cat free household or introducing them very slowly. He’s sweet as can be, loves to snuggle and give kisses. Tikos is heartworm negative, neutered, and fully up to date on his shots.

Mitsky is at Columbia Animal Services in Columbia, SC. Based on current behavior, she could become a long time resident and be at future risk.

A293377 Mitsky
3y SPAYED female
46lb heartworm negative
She is scared and shy with people and will growl when she feels trapped, an experienced handler is recommended
Did not care about the dogs walking through the shelter
Came in as a stray 5/23/24, went up for adoption 6/3/24
Play group notes: not yet evaluated

***If you are interested in adopting - come to the shelter M-F 12-5pm, Sat 9am-4pm or call 803-776-7387. Please do not email.

**Non-profit 501C3 rescue organizations - email [email protected]

*NEW - Dogs have play group notes, as we have undergone a mentorship with Dogs Playing for Life, and will have ongoing play groups so these notes will be added with each dog’s description when I have them.**

**We do NOT guarantee health, behavior, or temperament, nor do we have the resources for extensive testing or exams on any animals prior to rescue pulls. The only guaranteed vetting is basic vaccines, deworming, preventatives, and HW test.

CAS does not DNA test shelter pets and is therefore unable to determine the breed of promoted animals. We believe all dogs are individuals and their behaviors should not be predicted based on physical characteristics.
*Fun fact! less than 25% of a dog's genome contributes to their physical characterizes.

♦♦URGENT!! - TIME SENSITIVE IMMEDIATELY ❗❗
The following dogs are at risk for euthanasia due to space IMMEDIATELY (6/3/24) at Columbia Animal Services in Columbia, SC.! (Which means IF we fill up... ) To clarify, everyone on this list is at risk immediately, so there is no particular order of who may get euthanized.

This list is based on length of stay, meaning they have been here the longest and are not getting adopted or rescued, and are the most at risk for mental deterioration. This is not based on when they went up for adoption, they have been available to reserve or adopt. We will save them as long as possible, commitments and pick-ups are critically time sensitive! This post is updated throughout the day as it changes...
