In service of domestic animals in South Carolina, Frisky Business Rescue is a no-kill rescue that provides vital resources such as veterinary care, birthing assistance, medication, and rehoming or safe release (TNR) to the most vulnerable animals in the region. We specialize in animals with special circumstances that come from various backgrounds, including animal hoarding and abusive situations b

ut primarily focus on vulnerable kittens, puppies, and pregnant/nursing dogs and cats. Before rehoming, we carefully screen new potential families to ensure the needs of our animals are met and that new homes will become furever homes.

This lady didn’t have vet references since she owns no current dogs. So instead, she took it upon herself to show how cared for her grown daughter’s dog is (both live with her but it was not her dog or responsibility)…. Then blocked us when we told her this was essentially “not a flex”.

To be fair, we told her not tell us 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m not being petty by posting, just showing ya’ll cause it was comical honestly. We were still trying to work with her and simply explain why that was unhealthy but she blocked us. This entire conversation wasn’t even relevant to the dog she was inquiring about as it’s a shorthair dog that doesn’t even need grooming.

In summary: make sure your kids, friends, or whoever is doing stuff correctly before you try to use them as a reference…. Or we will call them out for you 🤣 we can’t help ourselves, it’s our job to try to give all animals the best and safest life possible.

Age: ~1.5 years
Breed: Chocolate Lab Mix (Assumed)
M/F: M
Spayed/Neutered/Shots: Neutered & UTD on vaccines and heartworm prevention
Good with dogs, cats, and/or kids: gets along great with other dogs; has a lot of interest in cats and appears as though he wants to play with them but that may be stressful for some cats; unsure about children as he hasn’t been directly exposed to any but has an extremely sweet temperament and don’t expect it to be an issue
Aggression or medical issues?: none
Reason for rehoming?: owner’s husband just had major heart surgery and owner’s daughter just got diagnosed with diabetes that has already led to her going blind so she is having to move to care for the daughter and unable to transport and care for all her current animals due to human care that she is having to dedicate significant more time to now - still currently in their care but being rehomed through us
House/crate trained?: both but may take a little time to adjust to a new home and schedule
Additional info/story (personality):
Sweet boy with a very sweet temperament but may be a little bit shy at first.

Additional info/story (personality):
She is a sweet girl and will not take as long to trust. No exact birthday because they were found deep in the woods, under a tree, by off-roaders. Does like toys and can get noisy if very excited. Is used to always having doggy friends around and not sure how she would adapt to being an only dog.

Another reason why appropriate grooming for medium & long-haired dogs is SO important. In case you couldn’t tell, when it gets this bad, dogs have to be sedated at a vet’s office for this to be removed as it is extremely painful if not and you risk injury to the dog. If not removed, it can result in yeast or bacterial infections (ear infections), hematomas, ear mites you wouldn’t even know to treat, and so on. Many dogs self-injure from trying to dig it out. It also smells really yucky and can affect their hearing. It costs an average of 600 per year around here for long-haired dog’s grooming upkeep alone (not vetting or food or anything like that) so just keep that in mind before picking out your next furry friend!
PS to people interested in doodles: a lot of groomers are turning them away so research availability beforehand to make sure it’s even a possibility to have a groomer accept you.

I know some of yall don’t know this family directly but they are huge animal lovers and just suffered a tremendous loss. Further info in the post below explaining the situation.

Item donations will be greatly appreciated as well once the land has finished draining and they know what they will need. We have a direct connection to the family in need if you are more comfortable reaching out to us than the page posting the gofundme.
Family and remaining animals are currently housed safely.

They’ve lost near everything unfortunately.

Spayed/Neutered/Shots: has had first round of fvrcp and been dewormed
Good with dogs, cats, and/or kids: all of the above
Aggression or medical issues?: no known aggression - has diarrhea ~50% of the time even though I have dewormed her for everything at least 5x so I am experimenting with different foods (could outgrow it, I had a couple who did). Uses the litterbox with no probs as long as it’s clay litter and clean (does NOT like pellet litter). Also thinned fur on the back of the neck for some reason but it’s filling back in.
Reason for rehoming?: found stray
Additional info/story (personality):
Very sweet and loves to be held. Wants attention more than she wants to play. Does like to cuddle with the other kittens as well.

Age: 1 year
Breed: Pit/Boxer Mix (assumed) - 65 lbs
M/F: MALE
Spayed/Neutered/Shots: UTD on rabies, dhlpp, bordetella; heartworm negative and UTD on prevention; waiting for neuter appointment confirmation; microchipped
Good with dogs, cats, and/or kids: all of the above but has not been exposed to small children, only elementary and up but I do not see it being a problem. He has been fine with everything from 8 week old kittens and chihuahuas up to 80 lb Pyrenees.
Aggression or medical issues?: none
Reason for rehoming?: owner surrender due to housing issues
House/crate trained?: yes to both but if not crated inside, he has to be let out every 6 hours or he will have a potty accident (he will give warnings beforehand) but does not mark.
Additional info/story (personality):
Very sweet and cuddly. Extremely well tempered. Expects everyone to be a friendly - animals and humans. Knows most basic commands. Walks well on a leash unless in a place with a bunch of animals around he wants to meet (then he will pull). Very rarely vocal. Does jump if very very excited but that’s about it that I could consider a “bad behavior” from him. Is goofy.

When will the laws change? He got *charged*. He is not a current inmate at the Lexington county jail, I’ll attach a screenshot below in the comments.

There is evidence time and time again that people who mistreat animal will go on to commit further and much worse crimes against humans. Even the FBI have done studies on it (can also link this below).

For another example, the huge dog f!ght!ng ring busted last year, the top guy was the only guy in jail for over a week (less than 2). He was the only one barred from owning animals again. And there were many more with almost as bad of charges that were released within 2 days and some never went in at all (or got any charges).

List goes on and on. Many are left in the horrid conditions and not even removed due to so many on the streets they have to remove daily due to overpopulation as a result of lack of breeding laws and spay/neuter options.

And this didn’t even make the socials of the news outlets, just their website 😔.

A Lexington man was charged after investigators said five dogs were left inside his home for around 2 weeks without food or water.

Our main dog housing section is still over capacity (still at capacity for the rest). Baby has been here for 16 MONTHS now. I won't say her behavior stipulations are minimal, but I will say that she is very sweet and lovable to me as long as I only expose her to what she is comfortable with which is very easy to do.

Location: Lexington, SC
Name: Baby
Age: 2 years
Breed: Pit Mix - 50 lbs
M/F: F
Spayed/Neutered/Shots: UTD on rabies & dhpp; heartworm negative & UTD on prevention; spayed
Good with dogs, cats, and/or kids: extremely human submissive and loves children; Not good with other female pits or dogs under 25 lbs - good with literally all other dogs and is always around other kinds with no other problems; can cat test upon request but doubt she would be good with them due to her not being good with smaller dogs
Aggression or medical issues?: no known medical issues; as stated above, NOT good with other female pits or dogs under 25 lbs (nothing directly bad has happened with dogs under 25 lbs but reactivity clearly seen through crate and has never been formally tested for safety reasons - full reactivity has happened with other female pits so access is 100% removed at all times and she has had no further issues with any other dogs or breeds for almost a year now). Is even housed with a very alpha male at the moment with no issues.
Reason for rehoming?: dumped at a nursing home and was contacted to pick up
House/crate trained?: yes!
Additional info/story (personality):
Walks extremely well on a leash and is very friendly. Medium energy and does still occasionally jump when I first arrive home. Huge love bug and loves to cuddle. Very very human submissive and the next door neighbors kids are who helped me name her and get her out of her shell originally. Due to her personality and specific reactivities… I’m sure you can assume type of situation she came from. As long as you work with her boundaries, there are no problems in the slightest and she gives us all her loving all the time. PS: LOVES couch naps. Would also do fine as only animal in the home, but not a requirement.

Our main dog housing section is still over capacity (still at capacity for the rest). Pluto has been back here since January and is still looking for his forever home. He has a deformed paw, which makes him get looked over, but it doesn't slow him down in the slightest and is barely noticeable to most. He is a lovable goofball once he warms up!

Location: Lexington, SC
Name: Pluto
Age: 1 year (DOB: 4/15/23)
Breed: German Shepherd x Coonhound x Mix (DNA Tested) - 55 lbs
M/F: M
Spayed/Neutered/Shots: UTD on dhlpp, rabies, & bordetella; heartworm negative & UTD on prevention; neutered
Good with dogs, cats, and/or kids: good with dogs; fine with kids he has met but high energy and probably too much for the littles; can cat test upon request
Aggression or medical issues?: free fed and housed with 2 other dogs but can be a bit food protective when I first refill the food but nothing crazy has happened - guard mentality against strangers when contained (acts big and bad through the fence, then I bring him out, and he’s fine - just acts big and scary). Deformed paw from birth that has been vet checked and not deemed to need any further assistance as it doesn’t slow him down or impede him from a normal life.
Reason for rehoming?: mom was rescued very pregnant and was born here a couple days later. Was adopted and returned due to new owner having to work double jobs and not being able to be home enough with no assistance and “too loud of a bark”.
House/crate trained?: yes
Additional info/story (personality):
German Shepherd personality - high energy, likes to play and rough house, likes to guard, but is fine once introduced outside containment. Very smart but can of course be a bit stubborn. Is a lovable goofball once settled.

Good with dogs, cats, and/or kids: good with all dogs and people; can cat test upon request
Aggression or medical issues?: has gotten food protective with some of the other alpha dogs so I switched him to be housed with more mellow ones and he has had no further issues - no known medical
Reason for rehoming?: owner surrender as they could not provide proper care
House/crate trained?: yes
Additional info/story (personality):
Extremely friendly and loves affection. Very energetic and excitable so does still jump when I first arrive home and go hang out with them, but we are working on it. Big, lovable, goofball. Very smart. Walks decently well on a leash.

Location: Lexington, SC
Name: currently Toby but responds to anything that ends in “oby” or “ody” such as Koby, Brody, etc.
Age: ~7 years per vet
Breed: Schnoodle or Schnauzer seems to best fit - has schnauzer bark. 18 lbs but underweight and should be more around 23-25 (longer legs though and leaning more towards medium size visibly).
M/F: M
Spayed/Neutered/Shots: UTD on dhpp, rabies, and bordetella; heartworm negative and UTD on flea & hw prevention; microchipped. Waiting for neuter confirmation appointment….
Good with dogs, cats, and/or kids: has been good with dogs, cats, and kids. Barks at all males he meets at first, but is not aggressive towards them, and once they pet him he settles. I simply think he was exposed to them minimally with wherever he came from.
Aggression or medical issues?: no known aggression; seems to have some food allergies (was very itchy) so we tried chicken free which helped some and then tried chicken and grain free and he itches & licks minimally now. UPDATE: vaccine reactive!!! - had to be muzzled and held by 3 of us. Experimenting with food again now as we have him on formal flea prevention.
Reason for rehoming?: found stray - no chip, did full stray hold and still could not locate any owners
House/crate trained?: crate trained - does mark so I had him wear a belly band for a couple days so he thought he “claimed the whole house” and hasn’t had any further accidents since I have done that. Should stop after neuter.
Additional info/story (personality):
Walks well on a leash - not loyal in open area without one. Likes to be held but doesn't come cuddle commonly on his own, just hangs around me. Will need grooming (will verify you are aware the rough amount this requires per year) and frequent brushing (scheduled for grooming on the 25th this month, was the soonest I could get). The “brown” around his feet & face is primarily from him licking and dirt, not his coloring. Has no interest in toys, I’ve tried many different kinds, but does enjoy treats. Knows how to sit, lay, and go to the crate. Does get on the furniture sometimes but listens well about getting off. Not too energetic and pretty laid back besides the barking at men. Went to a dog park and did great. Loves blankets. Has no fear of other dogs, regardless of size, and expects them all to be friendly so must be mindful. Is a bit too obsessed with one of our other males here if you catch what I am indicating... not sure why as he doesn't act like that towards any others.

Name: Washington
Age: 1 year (DOB: 1/14/23)
Breed: Lab/chow/mix - sister was DNA tested (also had low shedding gene) - 50 lbs - he is NOT dirty, the black/brown is his coloring
M/F: M
Spayed/Neutered/Shots: Neutered; UTD on rabies & dhpp; heartworm negative and UTD on hw prevention
Good with dogs, cats, and/or kids: all of the above
Aggression or medical issues?: no aggression; showing early signs of hip displasia but can’t be formally diagnosed due to age but vet said it could just be growing related and he will outgrow it. Is given daily joint supplements which have helped for 95% of days and has pain meds to be given on the really bad days if he is limping. Does not make him lazy or sad, he is still happy and playful, just occasionally has a limp.
House/crate trained?: yes, but doesn’t have to be crated when left alone as he doesnt mess with anything
Additional info/story (personality):
Was always the golden child of the litter. Has a through and through lab temperament. Friendly with everything and loves to play. Is loyal without a leash as long as a human is outside with him.

STILL OVER CAPACITY and Esme is officially the main long-timer here. She was here before we were 501c3 official, and our 2nd dog intake ever back in 2021. She was adopted for ~6 months and returned back in March due to what I would say was no fault of her own as it was a very clearly stated potential issue that was warned about before adoption and reiterated after adoption when the situation in the home changed. The adoptees were still extremely upset about returning her, but decided they had to.... I can give more context but not going to type a book on her post. Long story short, it's been almost 3 years now, and she is still looking for her permanent furever home!

*special needs - tripaw*
Location: Lexington, SC
Name: Esme
Age: 3.5 years
Breed: Lab/pit/mix (DNA Tested) - 60 lbs but overweight and should only be around 50 lbs
M/F: F
Spayed/Neutered/Shots: spayed; UTD on rabies, dhlpp, & bordetella; heartworm negative and UTD on prevetion
Good with dogs, cats, and/or kids: good with all humans and has been around toddlers as well, good with dogs except severely alpha dogs (every incident so far has been with a female pit that came onto her - she defended herself and does it very well). Has been around 100’s of other dogs with no issues including dog parks and doggy daycares, she simply won’t tolerate being bullied or messed with. NOT good with cats (even my most dog friendly cats, she doesn’t try to hurt them, but she doesn’t understand her size and wants to play and is simply too much for them)
Aggression or medical issues?: TRIPAW (3 legs - missing rear right leg) and gets daily joint supplements to prevent arthrtitis. Does not affect daily life and most don’t notice she is missing a leg because she acts so “normal”. Only further assistance she needs is getting in/out high vehicles. Also can only swim in circles but does like water. For aggression, she will never start anything, but she will finish it so you must make sure the dogs she are with will not push buttons.
House/crate trained?: yes - needs to be crated when left alone
Additional info/story (personality):
VERY cuddly. Will stay close by without a leash once she learns area and homeowner when you take her outside. Will demand to be let back inside if you leave her out there too long cause she likes to be a lazy couch potato a good chunk of the time. Does snore. Does have a big and funny attitude and is very talkative. Super chewer and will need heavy duty toys. She will not chew on stuff she shouldn’t chew on unless she doesn’t have anything appropriate to chew on. She just loves chewing.

Vet appt update: Vet agreed with me that it looks like a healing wound, not a tumor. For now, he told me to not worry about it, apply some cream, and focus on spay recovery and starting heartworm treatment. he will continue monitoring nip as we go through treatment. Got the meds to get heartworm treatment started and taking her back off medical hold!

Lottie's spay went well today although she is clearly a bit out of her mind at the moment, but we got some other disappointing news at pick up. What we assumed was just the result of a healing ni**le from her nursing pups in her last home was in fact a tumor. We knew it looked a bit worse than when we first got her, but we just assumed it was from the other dog's licking the "wound" as they like to help out around here, and it really just looked like a split ni**le from a puppy tooth.

Anyways, we put her on a medical hold til we get it fully figured out with our normal vet next Monday. Assumption since it is growing will be removal and their surgery appointments are typically 2 months out. Not to mention heartworm treatment that will need to be started during all of this. Any funds donated would be greatly appreciated as her expenses just keep adding up higher and higher (should be roughly 600 for heartworm treatment and I'm going to broadly assume 250-400 for mammary tumor removal, not including any testing the vet may highly recommend for it, along with initial vet visit and so on).

Side comment that this is another reason why spay is so important. The chances of her getting a mammary tumor just after 1 heat cycle was 8%, and she was in that 8%. Before the first heat cycle, the risk is only 0.05%. After the second heat cycle, the risk goes up to 26%. THIS DOES NOT REVERSE AFTER SPAY; it only stops the increasing percentage likelihood they will develop mammary tumors.

Location: Lexington, SC
Name: Birdie
Age: ~ 3 years
Breed: Great Pyrenees - 85 lbs (has gained 10 lbs since arrival so may end up slightly larger than this)
M/F: F
Spayed/Neutered/Shots: UTD on rabies, bordetella, and DHLPP, heartworm negative and UTD on heartworm prevention; spayed; microchipped.
Good with dogs, cats, and/or kids: yes - has NOT been chicken tested (a gamble with pyrenees and I can't test that here) but should be completely fine with all other farm animals
House/crate trained?: is house trained - have not attempted crate training as there has been no need to
Additional info/story (personality):
Enjoys being brushed and petted indefinitely. Fine being outside all day but will happily come in to hang out if I will let her.
Will need a fenced-in yard or she will wander (but no issues her escaping my fence but I do have a hot wire). Is friendly and follows me around everywhere after she warms up. Goes fully immobile when I put a leash on her as seen in the video, so working on that. Didn’t freak out and was extremely gentle when I took her to a busy clinic area for vaccines, but of course had to be carried mostly as she simply doesn’t know what to do on the leash. Food motivated.
Message/comment if interested. Make sure if you message me to include the animal’s name since I have a lot of rescues I am trying to help rehome at the moment. Adoption application & contract required to ensure good home.
