💢UPDATE💢

For those of you who don’t remember Clyde, he was adopted at the Barrio event in October by one of the staff.
He’s been hijacked by their daughter and now the newly named “Ares” spends his days lounging without a care in the world in the teenagers bedroom. 🐶❤️ We love these pics!!

Thank you for adopting Ares and for helping us to save more dogs. 💋❤️

We had an amazing time sharing doggie kisses with guests at Barrio yesterday. The music was fantastic!

The service, food and love was stellar, as always.

See you next time as we continue our Sunday Adoptions at Barrio!

Rescues are the most loyal and loving pets.

Please rescue, offer to foster.

We have many dogs that are in need of foster, foster to adopt, and adoption to their forever home. 🏠

Until we are able to get dogs into foster homes, we are not able to save any off a euthanasia list.

We will continue to help those who need assistance if at all possible, through requests for donations.

11/11/2024 UPDATE

Uusa is at the vet now. The bill is currently $359.41 (in comments below) and that will not include any HW preventative pending the results, flea & tick preventative and a future spay appointment.

Uusa, this beautiful 2 year Cane Corso has been on the run since November 1, 2024. But, today was the day she was finally trapped with the help of Luci Neal and Mary Dorsey 🙌

Brittany was getting ready to walk Uusa on November 1 when a car honked their horn, startled Uusa and she took off running.

Uusa’s owner was going to have her put down for nipping a family member. But, Brittany has a love for the breed, has fostered several dogs for rescue’s and had taken it upon herself to take Uusa into her home and work on her training and rehabilitation so she didn’t end up at the overcrowded GCACC.

Uusa has a fairly deep laceration on her rear leg, ticks were removed, and she needs to have some testing done.

Brittany is not financially able to support much on her own as a single mom and WAZ is hoping that everyone’s love ❤️ of dogs can donate to Uusa’s care. 🙏

Uusa is being seen at Smiths Animal Hospital tomorrow morning at 7:00 am and Brittany could really use some funding to help with this unexpected medical expense and possibly some dog food.

Please consider donating.

Smiths Animal Hospital

Spartanburg, SC 29303

Acct: Brittany Rhymer
Dog to reference: Uusa

If there is a rescue that can take Uusa under them, Brittany would continue to foster, train, and rehabilitate towards adoption. Any rescue have any room??

Pupdate on our sweet Blossom.🌸 She had vetting yesterday. She got a good report card. She has an ear infection, so that’s being treated. We were a little concerned about a limp and her skin and the limp is from an old poorly healed leg injury. It should improve over time with continued care.

She had bad skin when she arrived. She got a good bath and grooming from The Paw Parlor by Horse Sense and it made her feel so much better. They are better built to help get her nails under control.

Her skin is improving with good food and care. She is HW negative ❤️ and has excellent teeth.

They estimate our sweet girl to be closer to 4-5 years old, not the 2 year old we assumed based on her beautiful teeth. 🦷 It explains how docile and polite this sweet baby behaves.

She is ready to shine and get to know her public. 😊 She will be at the adoption event tomorrow at Barrio in Lexington, SC. Be sure and stop by to show her, and a few others, some love. 💕

She is ready for a foster and adoption. She is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and on preventatives. She is super calm, gentle and sweet. She’s 48 pounds, good with kids, other dogs, cats and people. She fits in anywhere. A 🌟 Dog!

We absolutely love her. 🥰🐾

We have another unusual and urgent 🚨situation! This is Sista. She is a gorgeous little sweet pea in danger. Not from her owners, from mold!

She has a loving mom that found herself in an apartment infested with mold. The landlord is a slumlord. She had to vacate to be safe as it was making her sick.

The problem was, she can’t break her lease and still be able to lease. Between a rock and a hard place, she moved in with a friend that has very little room for an extra person, let alone a dog. Their place doesn’t allow dogs at all.

She had to leave Sista in the apartment while she is hunting for a new place. Because she refuses to give Sista up to a shelter, she is paying rent in both places so Sista has a place to stay. 💸 She can’t go after the landlord yet because they will have Sista removed and she won’t have anywhere for her. Once she finds safety for Sista, she will be going after the landlord through the proper channels. 📣

She goes over there throughout each day to care for Sista and has been begging for weeks to find help for her. 😢 I ran into their situation this week and offered to help figure it out.

She needs temporary foster while mom gets out of the other apartment and can find her own allowing her to take her baby with her. 🦠 Neither of them need to be exposed to that place anymore!

She was willing to rehome her to save her, but we are hoping to find foster long enough for her to get her back. 💔 She doesn’t want to give her up and she cries every day when she leaves her. We simply have no space. We are over capacity now.

❤️PLEASE offer up a way to move her. Foster, board, whatever we can pull together and do for them.

Please step up! This is in Columbia, SC.

🐾More about Sista from her mom:

She has lots of energy and loves to play. Although very strong, she loves kids and adores my grandkids. She will bark at other dogs while wagging her tail. Her bark is bigger than her (won’t) bite. 😊

She is house and crate trained. She loves her toys and will chew them for a long time! She is good on the leash, although she can be excited and pull sometimes at first. 🐕

She loves to cuddle and couch potato. 🥰 She is intuitive and knows when she has upset you or someone else has upset you. She is the sweetest girl. 🌸

🐾 Calling all followers and 🐕 lovers 🐾

One of our amazing foster moms is fostering for another Rescue and wants to foster fail.

Just look at that baby and those ears. 🥰

The catch is, with the Rescue the fosters pay for all food and daily care and the adoption fee is not reduced or covered for their fosters and this foster family had unexpected MAJOR expenses once the hurricanes. 😢

They would normally have no issues with fees and can certainly afford to care for this incredibly loved pup long term. We have known them a long time and they have always provided above and beyond care for their dogs, our dogs, and now this baby.

We want to help them keep this baby, as it has grown so close to their family and has reinvented their long time dog that was struggling with emotions and anxiety. They have such a close bond and cannot be separated now. They were meant for each other. 💕 🐕

We wish we had the funding to just help them cover that fee and finalize the security of their new found love, but unfortunately we don’t have funding for that right now.

🌟 We DO; however, have an incredible following that supports saving dogs, no matter who is getting them saved. 🌟

So we are taking an unorthodox approach and hoping to help raise the adoption fee so one of our fosters can adopt someone else’s dog!
How’s that for village support? 😁

The adoption fee for this doll baby is $450. We are hoping to raise as much, if not all, of that to secure her for them.

🙏 Please Step up! This is an awesome project and we are excited to see this come to fruition.

If anything over the $450 is donated, we will hand that over to the new family to score some extra love to spoil this baby.

You guys rock and I can’t thank you enough for always helping, whether it’s for us, or someone else.

It’s all about the dogs. 💯🥰

Shelter crisis. Rescue crisis.

Many rescues will try and help you to keep your beloved pet.

We need fosters. Shelters need fosters and adopters.

We have a new kennel with roof coming our way and just need someone with a trailer to move it for us! They are located near Atlas Road. It needs to come to Lexington near Boiling Springs Road. WE need this BADLY!

It needs picked-up and move by Sunday. Who can assist us?

Meet Cole. 😔 One of our previous foster fails stepped in and snagged this wandering baby off the street last weekend, in a common dumping ground. He is covered in old and new bite wounds. He is underweight with fresh bruises and scratches all over his body with scabs in various stages of healing.

He has clearly been mauled and bitten all over his body on many occasions over periods of time. Bait dog? Likely. Left to fend against aggressive dogs? Absolutely. Neglected? 💯 guaranteed!

This sweet, young boy is spending time with the family that stepped in, in hopes of finding him a safe place. Since we do not have any space with us, we are helping find this baby a loving and safe place to find love and peace. ♥️ He is in need of foster or foster-to-adopt.

He is a sweet boy with a little fear. He shivers when he is scared and needs a safe landing. The family has two other dogs and one is not dog friendly. This makes it impossible for them to keep him, unfortunately.

Cole needs vetted, vaccinated, heart worm tested, neutered, and checked for any problematic flesh wounds, bone damage and infection.

The family needs help funding his care. With them willing to jump in and help this baby, we are helping to raise those funds. Please donate toward his care!

The family is standing-by hoping to get him in within a few days. As soon as they can cover the visit, the appointment is set. You can donate to us earmarked COLE and it will be provided to the vet for his care.

We will help them with some dog food and they need collar, leash, bed, stress chew toy and preventatives if anyone wants to contribute to those needs also.

Please consider temporarily fostering this baby while the family and WAZ try and locate a new family for Cole. He is a sweet and loving baby that deserves to know what being loved is really like for a good dog.

Moon 🌖 has been a silly goofball of energy lately. She is doing so well physically and emotionally. Such a powerhouse. Today we got down and dirty playing with her favorite toy! This thing is indestructible. She has given it a run for the last 7 months. It’s the Large Jolly Bone I found at Pet Supermarket (Lexington, SC). They are about $10 and you can’t lose with big chewers. I wish someone would send us a box of these things! 🧑‍🎄 They provide amazing stress relief for any dog. Stay tuned and watch for more of Moon’s antics. She soon gets to go on a trip with me to make some action videos. She is a fireball of speed and energy. ☄️ She is going to make someone the best pet ever.

Pupdate on our newest baby at Camp WAZ. Elaine here. I originally named her LaLa; however, since she arrived and settled in, she has blossomed so much, she became Blossom!🌸 She is amazing! Blossom has come out of her shell a bit and is a talker! Zeus was a chatter box and everyone at the vet or pet stores knew he was in the room. He mooed at you. 😂 She not only looks like my sweet Zeus, she reminds me of him so much in her personality. She is going to be one of our ⭐️ Dogs for sure. The Camp Crew has been spending a great deal of time with her. She is calm and clean in her crate. She walks gentle on her leash with wonderful manners. She stays right by you wanting to spend time and share a conversation. She has become a couch potato 🥷! She takes her treats gently and doesn’t fuss about much of anything. She definitely needs to build up her body with nutrients. They have noticed a slight bit of weakness in her back step. We are thinking she is a little weak from having to live on the lonesome for so long. She is slowly getting extra sources of vitamins and glucosamine in her diet. When the storm aftermath calms down, she will need to be fully vetted. She has had vaccines and is HW- thank goodness. She needs to have her hips checked and make sure everything else looks good. Want to help this Blossom blossom? We are seeking a sponsor for this sweetheart. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Having a sponsor can provide her a bag of dogfood. Sponsors can also help us provide her heartworm and flea preventative, extra nutrients and supplements, her upcoming vetting, as well as her toys, and daily supplies. It’s all up to the sponsor. If you wish to sponsor sweet Blossom with a gift, a bag of food, or something else, you can send a donation or shipment in her name from any list below. We look forward to sharing more of her antics and her improvement. This one is going to be a beauty! 👑 🐾❤️Ways to sponsor or donate❤

He did throw in some antics this morning after having his pawcoffee 🐾 😆 He is an amazing boy that will make a family very happy! Once through his treatment, he will be ready for someone to give him his furever. 🐾 Keep an eye out for this one. He’s a ⭐️ Dog!
