🚩RED FLAG ALERT🚩
How does an “ethical breeder” and fundamentalist Christian afford a Super Bowl commercial? The answer is simple: they can’t—unless they’re running a high-volume, for-profit breeding operation.
Please don’t fall for the sham. This breeder, well known in Greenville, SC, is NOT ethical.
✅ An ethical breeder prioritizes the well-being of their dogs over profit. They:
• Focus on one breed they have deep knowledge of
• NEVER have multiple litters at the same time
• Perform rigorous health testing before breeding
• Ensure lifetime responsibility for the puppies they produce
🚨 This breeder, however, is running a large-scale operation, breeding multiple designer breeds at once, with multiple litters at a time—hallmarks of a puppy mill.
Hiding behind religion doesn’t make it ethical. It makes it deceptive.
🐶 If you’re looking for a dog, please adopt from a shelter, rescue, or a responsible and ethical breeder. Reputable breeders do not mass-produce puppies or advertise through expensive marketing ploys.

✨Squad Foster Charlie Update!✨
Sweet Charlie had her first big vet visit today with Dr. Alexander at @riversidevetsc ! She got a full check-up and received her core vaccines—rabies, DHPP, lepto, and bordetella—to keep her healthy and protected. During her exam, we also discovered an ear infection, but don’t worry—she’s already started on medication and will be feeling better in no time!
Y’all, this pup is pure love. Charlie adores everyone she meets, including the vet team, and just wants to soak up all the affection she can get. At around one year old, she has a lifetime of love to give. She’s amazing with people of all ages, great with other dogs, and even gets along with cats!
Charlie still has a long road ahead—she needs to recover from her fracture repair surgeries before she can be spayed—but we know she’ll be ready for her forever home in no time.
Her visit today cost $498.60, and we could really use your help covering it. Every dollar makes a difference! Donations are tax-deductible and can be sent via:
💙 Venmo/PayPal: @dogsquad88 (no underscores, dashes, or punctuation—watch for scammers!)

Thank you for supporting Charlie and all the dogs who need a second chance!
Never in our wildest dreams did we think we’d have one Great Pyrenees in our home—let alone own one and foster two! But here we are, completely in love with this incredible breed.
Bernie, Obie, and Yeti are all Great Pyrenees, yet each one has his own distinct personality. Bernie, our gentle giant with three legs, exudes resilience and wisdom. Obie, the curious and goofy one, keeps us on our toes. And Yeti, with his soulful eyes, brings a calm, watchful presence to the pack.
Despite their differences, they all share that classic Pyrenees charm—loyalty, stubbornness, and a heart full of love. We never expected to have a home full of floof, but now we can’t imagine life without them.
Fostering opens your heart in ways you never expect. If you’ve ever considered fostering or adopting a Great Pyrenees (or any rescue dog!), we’d love to help you find your perfect match. These gentle giants are truly something special.❤️🐾
Words. Where are the words?
Sometimes, kindness leaves us speechless. Today is one of those days.
Last night, we received an overwhelming and emotional gift from Albright’s Raw—1,800 lbs. of high-quality raw food for the dogs in our rescue. The generosity alone was enough to bring us to tears, but what made it even more special was seeing local businesses come together to ensure none of it goes to waste.
To put 1,800 lbs. into perspective: at our house, we have three deep freezers totaling 24 cubic square feet—and we could only bring home a tiny fraction of the donation. That’s when @thek9shop_sc reached out to @greenvilledrive , who stepped in without hesitation to store the remaining boxes in their walk-in freezers. Their support means that every pound of food will go toward helping the dogs who need it most.
A year ago, we thought raw diets were just a fad. A marketing gimmick.
Then came Hope.
Hope was sick for months. No medication helped—Cytopoint, Apoquel, antibiotics, topical mousses—nothing. Her skin was inflamed, covered in yeast and bacterial infections, and she scratched herself raw. We switched her food over and over, desperate for relief. Nothing worked.
Then, we figured—what do we have to lose?
We tried Albright’s Raw PMR Diet, skeptical but out of options. Within 90 days, Hope’s fur was growing back thicker and shinier than ever. Her infections finally stopped. She stopped scratching. It was a transformation we never expected.
Then came Bernie.
Last summer, Bernie refused all kibble and dropped to 77 lbs.—a dangerously low weight for a male Great Pyrenees. He had no appetite and his coat was brittle and thin. We switched him to Albright’s, and suddenly… he was thriving. He put on healthy weight and finally grew in a strong, full coat.
Now, in February 2025, we are here—witnessing the unimaginable kindness of those around us.
@albrights_raw , The K9 Shop, The Greenville Drive—words will never be enough to express
✨Yesterday, we stopped by to visit our brave Squad foster Charlie, and y’all—she is the definition of resilience!🥹
It’s hard to believe that today marks just two weeks since Charlie was hit by a car, leaving her with multiple pelvic fractures and a severely broken leg. She underwent a major surgery to repair her hip and leg, and despite everything, she is thriving! Outside of her cone of shame and healing incisions, you’d never guess she was the survivor of such a recent trauma. She is full of love and trust, greeting everyone with a wagging tail and the sweetest demeanor.❤️
🐶Squad alum Haze has stepped up as the best mentor, keeping Charlie company and being extra gentle with her—almost like he knows she’s still healing. Their bond is heartwarming to watch!
At just under a year old, Charlie still has a lot of puppy love to give. Tomorrow, she’ll meet Dr. Alexander at Riverside Vet for a thorough check-up and to receive her vaccines.
