We have so much to be thankful for this week—and our hearts are full of gratitude! 💛

Dede’s Angels – thank you for pulling our sweet Gouda off the urgent list! Gouda was with us for 26 days and had a medical concern that made adoption a challenge. He quickly became one of our favorites, and we’re so grateful you gave him the chance he deserves!

Hampton’s Hope Sanctuary – a huge thank you for saying yes to our long-timer Onion. This sweet girl spent 50 days waiting for her perfect match and just couldn’t seem to find her place. You gave her the fresh start she’s been waiting for, and we couldn’t be happier!

Carolina Loving Hound – when we urgently needed help for a broken-leg pup, you stepped up immediately with no hesitation. Your quick action means the world to us and to this little one.

To each of you: thank you for giving these animals hope and new beginnings. We are beyond grateful for your compassion and support!

First and foremost, we want to give a HUGE thank you to our amazing rescue partners who stepped up in such a big way this week! 💛

Gracie Acres – you pulled three dogs off our urgent list and gave them the chance they deserve.
• Mono – my personal favorite with a story that went from heartbreaking to hopeful. He was rescued off the streets of Colombia, moved to the U.S. with his owner, and then sadly lost his home again when his owner had to urgently return to Colombia due to domestic issues. Gracie Acres gave Mono the third chance he needed—we can’t wait to see him thrive!
• Marshmellow & Ronnie – both had their quirks, but thanks to Gracie Acres, they are now living their best lives!

The Barker Rescue Project – earlier this week you took on a huge medical case: sweet Biscuits with a broken jaw, and two ringworm cats. Your “yes” means the world to us—thank you for giving them a true second chance!

Angel’s Among Us – you surprised us by pulling Cinnamon, one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet, even though he’s healing from a leg injury. You didn’t let that stop you from giving him the safe space he needed.

This week was all about stepping up—and each of you did just that. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for giving these animals the fresh start they deserve! 🐾

✨ A late but very heartfelt THANK YOU post ✨
This is for last week—we may be behind on sharing, but we never forgot how thankful we are for our amazing rescue partners! 💙
🐾 Gracie Acres – Thank you for pulling Turnip! She stayed with us for 25 days with little hope of getting out. From a shut-down pup to a happy, waggy girl desperate to leave the shelter—Gracie Acres made that happen!
🐾 Always Room For One More – Yes, again! You stepped up for not one, but TWO large, urgent, long-stay black dogs (the hardest to place!).
Biscuit: Returned through no fault of his own, with glowing praise from his adopters.
Grogy: 46 days in the shelter with no interest, even with that adorable underbite!
Thank you for giving them both another chance.
🐾 Pawsitive Impact – Thank you for pulling Runt! One of my personal favorites, who just had...."quirks". She had been with us for 18 days and while we knew she had come from a social office life, she didn't quite like us. However, you gave her the fresh start she deserved.
We are so grateful for each and every one of you for giving these pups the chance to shine outside shelter walls. 💕

Big gratitude going out today to two incredible rescues! 💛
🐾 Passion 4 Paws – You gave freedom rides to Frog, Toad, and Kerchack! 🐸🐸 Frog and Toad had been with us for 39 days. Despite being amazing dogs, they just weren’t getting much interest. They came in together, landed on our urgent list, and now they get to leave together, too! Kerchack had been here for 26 days, got sick, went to boarding, came back, and was still waiting for a hero—until you stepped in. Thank you for making their happy endings possible!
🐾 Angels Among Us – Talk about timing! You had transporters right here at the shelter ready to scoop up Zeusito, who had been with us for 39 days. This big, goofy meathead was a staff favorite and on our urgent list, and we could never understand why he didn’t have any interest. Now he has his second chance—thanks to you!
We appreciate you both more than we can say! 💕

Today we’re sending a huge THANK YOU to two amazing rescues! 💛
🐾 Passion 4 Paws – You jumped into action the moment we reached out about Pip and Long Stocking, two sweet puppies just surrendered. When we found out they had ringworm and needed out ASAP, you didn’t hesitate. GHS truly came to their rescue, as you always do when we’re in a pinch!
🐾 Jesse’s Place – You gave two of our shelter’s favorite old gentlemen their freedom rides! BC (12 years old) and Frankie (8 years old) are both super cool, super chill, and love their people. We were all SO happy to see them leave the shelter for better days ahead.
Thank you both for your quick action, big hearts, and constant support. We appreciate you more than words can say! 💕

This week, we want to extend a HUGE thank you to three incredible rescues who stepped up for some very special dogs!
🧡 Always Room For One More – A big welcome and thank you to this new rescue partner! They stepped up for Beans and got him out of the shelter exactly when he needed it most. We’re so grateful for your quick communication and swift action—we’re excited to work together more in the future!
❤️ Red’s House Rescue – After Valor came off a court hold, this amazing team made sure he would never know a filthy crate again. His background was heartbreaking, but Red’s House gave him a chance to heal, and if you’ve seen their updates—you know he’s one of the SWEETEST dogs out there. Thank you for taking a chance on a scared pup with an unknown personality.
💙 Dog Squad – Last week they pulled Oyster, and this week they came back for his friend! This bonded buddy now has his own adorable update video, and we’re so thankful Dog Squad didn’t leave him behind. These two now have a future full of love and care, and we couldn’t be more grateful.
THANK YOU to each of you for giving these deserving pups the fresh start they’ve waited so long for. 💫

🌟 Rescue Appreciation Post 🌟
The past two days have been overwhelming — with a major influx of dogs, we were in urgent need of help on very short notice. And as always, our incredible rescue partners stepped up in a big way.
💚 Greenville Humane Society – Initially coming for just Crystal, one large dog… but left with Lady Moose and her 6 pups, plus 7 puppies someone dropped in our parking lot. You always go above and beyond, and we’re so grateful for your unwavering support.
💙 Living Hope Canine Rescue – Thank you for giving Max, a sweet senior shepherd, the safe, loving place he desperately needed. He was on our urgent list, and you came through when it mattered most.
🧡 Paved Paws Rescue – You stepped up for Candy, a gentle girl in need of TLC, and didn’t stop there. When we contacted you about an urgent kitten with possible ringworm, you didn’t hesitate. That’s the kind of dedication that changes lives.
💜 Gracie Acres – Echo had been waiting over 30 days, and his time was nearly up. But you made sure he didn’t get left behind. Thank you for being there when he needed someone most.
💛 Lighthouse Animal Shelter – Thank you for taking Brandi, one of our biggest shelter sweethearts who always greeted us with a smile. Her tail never stopped wagging, and now she’s off to a brighter future.
✨ Special thanks to these rescues who also helped us tremendously this week:
Dog Squad Rescue – for taking Oyster, an emaciated pup now on the path to a much better life.
Hampton’s Hope – for stepping up once again, this time for Rocco, a senior boy who urgently needed out.
We can’t thank you all enough for showing up when we needed it most. This kind of teamwork saves lives. 💫

We’re a little late—but our gratitude is right on time. 💛
Last week, Passion 4 Paws pulled ELEVEN dogs from our urgent list—every single one a long-stay pup who needed out during a truly critical moment. Because of them, Apollo, Nala, Gummy Bear, Tibby, Maynard, Huskyanna, Freya, Skunk, Knuckles, Polo, and Oxygen are finally safe. These were dogs we’ve been fighting for—and now, they finally have a chance.
We also want to send a huge thank you to Hampton's Hope Sanctuary, who stepped up in a massive way. They rushed to help Batman, who needed out immediately due to worsening wounds, and then pulled off something incredible: they took in Anubis, the dear friend of Thor, who they had rescued just a few weeks earlier.
We are so grateful for your compassion, hustle, and heart. Thank you for showing up when it mattered most. 🐾💕

This week, our hearts are overflowing with gratitude for the incredible rescue partners who stepped in and changed the course of these dogs’ lives. Each one of them had waited far too long, and thanks to you—they’re finally free.
💛 Passion 4 Paws – One of our longtime rescue partners and true heroes. You didn’t just pull one or two dogs—you pulled SIX large dogs, all in one day. That kind of commitment is rare, and it means everything to us.
Trudy – waited patiently for 40 days
Zinnia – 45 days of watching others leave before her
Bella – 40 days of wagging her tail through it all
Kenneth – 74 days in the shelter, still hopeful every morning
Paco – 53 days of overlooked sweetness
Duke – came in with severely injured paw pads, in urgent need of healing and comfort
You gave them all what we couldn’t: a soft landing and a fresh start. We are truly amazed by your dedication time and time again. Thank you.
💙 Lighthouse Animal Shelter – Thank you for taking in Hannah, who had been with us for 38 days. She is full of life, bursting with s***k, and has a heart as sweet as they come. Her energy and joy were impossible to miss—and now she finally has the chance to let that light shine.
🩷 Lovable Mutts – And to you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for pulling Feather. This beautiful girl was completely blind—born with entropion and unusually small eye globes. But despite not being able to see the world around her, she felt every ounce of love. She gave it right back tenfold. Feather was truly one of the brightest spirits in our shelter, and now she’s finally where she belongs.
To all of you—thank you for seeing the dogs who needed you most. Thank you for changing their lives. We will never stop being grateful.

Rescue Appreciation Week ❤️🐾
This week, we’re celebrating three amazing rescue partners who stepped up in big ways for some of our most vulnerable animals. We truly can’t thank you enough!
✨ Carolina Loving Hound Rescue
This incredible group pulled two sweet seniors and four tiny surprises:
Barkley, a 10-year-old lady with a large mass needing removal
Holly, 8 years old and still full of life and love
4 puppies, found in a ditch and pulled spontaneously the moment they arrived—CLHR didn’t blink.
✨ Angels Among Us
When we had a true time-sensitive case, they jumped into action. Cranberry, a 9-month-old pup with a bad case of ringworm and possible sunburn, needed out within 24 hours. Angels Among Us made it happen, no hesitation.
✨ Carolina Border Collie Rescue
They gave P***y Brewster, a 10-year-old girl in need of comfort and care, the soft landing she deserved. Seniors like her often get overlooked—but not by CBCR.
To each of you: thank you for answering the call, for being a lifeline, and for seeing the value in every life. We’re beyond grateful for your partnership! 💛
