Not sure if it is the extra cold weather or just that she has finally gotten comfortable, but Lottie has FINALLY started to come inside to hang out every single day of her own free will instead of us having to walk her in.
She recently discovered one our president’s personal fluffy cats and was absolutely in love and laid by her for an hour just watching and protecting in awe. I think she was just amazed cats come in the fluffy variety too. The next day, the fluffy cat didn’t want to hang out so Lottie pouted and went right back out ☹️, but she got over it by the next day.
Also the humans recently discovered birds playing in the backyard with her around and she wasn’t phased in the slightest so I’d highly gamble she’s good with birds too. She was just watching them while laying down too.

Whether a pet or a properly housed livestock guardian, we think she could thrive in either environment and is still looking for her forever home!

70 lbs - maremma sheepdog (assumed) - female - right under 2 years - fully vetted - was heartworm positive but has been fully treated, we just can’t retest to confirm negative again until July 2025 (but treatment is 98% fully succesful). Good with everything but is a livestock guardian that is of course not immediately best friends with everyone she meets as that is their nature. Not mean in the slightest, just has to have time to watch and observe before deciding you’re a friendly (she decides faster about females normally). Good with kids she’s been around as well. Will need a lot of outside time as well if going to a home as pet.

A couple people have been asking us to post our rescue Christmas Wishlist! So here it goes of things we could definitely use this holiday season:

1. As always food is the main thing. Preferred brands: Diamond Naturals for dogs, Purina for kittens, Friskies for cats (other brands completely okay, this is just what we normally feed). Dry food preferred over wet every day as we go through this much more quickly.
2. Cooling Elevated Dog Beds
3. Slip Leads
4. Paper Towels
5. Towels
6. Treats for medium-large dogs (we normally just do milk bones for medium dogs)
7. Outdoor Cat Houses & Outdoor Dog Houses
8. Cat scratch devices in any form
9. Doggy DNA tests - either wisdom panel or embark only (help increase chances of adoption normally as people like to know exactly what they're adopting)
10. Heavy Duty Dog Toys (please no rope toys or anything that can't be indented with a fingernail; hard rubber preferred)
11. Interactive Cat Toys or any cat toys that aren't the basics (basics example: springs, crinkle toys, balls with bells, etc.)
12. Cat Heating Pads without automatic shut off

Some example pictures below. Anything additional would also be appreciated.
If shipping, please mail to: 225 Northcutt Rd, Pelion, SC 29123
(we are not located here; this is just where we receive mail the easiest)

Let us know if you have any questions or would prefer to meet up with us to drop off donations! Thanks everyone!

Get your Lexington County dog microchipped for FREE! Remember, it's the law so get it done.

09/12/2024

Just looked up his formal charge since Richland county is notorious for doing nothing. His only charge is “animal abandonment” (nothing for animal cruelty). He made bail same day within hours for $465 with stipulation of owning no animals until court date. We will probably be lucky if he gets a fine on actual court date 😭. Assuming they aren’t able to actually prove the animal cruelty but still, they should do maximum penalty for animal abandonment at least since it’s HIGHLY assumed and likely he is the one who did this to this poor cat. And this was apartments, unless you’re walking around with all your doors and windows open, it’s pretty difficult to lose a cat that fast cause they would in near all circumstances be hiding somewhere in the house at least that first week.

For more context on what’s further insanity about this, he already had a criminal record BEFORE his adoption from Lexington county animal control. So they just scan the ID and don’t even do a quick search on them? Can literally anyone adopt as long as they don’t have the stipulation of owning no pets? This is absolutely insanity. It would be one thing is the charge was from 5+, 10+, etc. years ago but it was from late 2020 so not really old at all and was a charge that could easily bring concern for him having proper funding to care for a dog (tried to steal stuff).

Spayed/Neutered/Shots: spayed; UTD on rabies & fvrcp; UTD on flea prevention
