Cooper is a kind old man.  He is looking for someone to share his days with while he sniffs around the yard and soaks up some sun.  He is on the older side, but still loves to go outside and walk.  

Don’t let Dottie’s age or size fool you, this dog is ALL puppy!!
Dottie’s dream day would be running in the yard and going on walks.
She might not be good in a house with small children as she does not know her size (she thinks she is still the size of a puppy, but is more of a  medium sized dog).
When we have taken her out with other dogs, she gets along with most of them.
Dottie was picked up as a stray by Kershaw County Humane Society on March 8, 2021. Paws got her from there on March 16, 2021.

Lego is a young pup that loves to play. This young boy will need some direction as he has only lived in shelters. He will need you to be patient and persistent with him as he grows into being the best dog ever.

Molly is a fun loving 3 year old pit. She is currently being fostered and gets along with other dogs and kids. She has a lot of drive and loves to play. She walks nicely on a leash and is not reactive. She does tend to get a bit possessive of resources (balls, toys, ect), but with the right leadership and a bit of counter conditioning that should improve. She loves to zoom around the yard and get belly rubs.

Rose is a light brown shepherd mix who was turned in by her owner.  She is a calm girl who reminds us of Nellie.  She is just looking for a couch to sit on, someone to sit with, and lots of pets.  

Do you like to throw balls?  Sadie LOVES to chase them and bring them back to you!  This adorable girl surprises us all when we take her out to the yard.  She will run after balls all day if given the chance.  She would make an excellent baseball family dog!  Her defensive skills are on point!  Anyone training with Sadie is bound to get better!

Shelly reminds us of that cranky old aunt we all had that was nice just to us.  Shelly is so sweet and calm when she is around humans, but she is not a fan of other dogs or cats.  Shelly loves to walk and lay in the grass.  She is an older dog (about 7) so all the puppy drama is done with her.  

Biscuit is a cool looking dog, mostly black husky mix with blue to almost white eyes.  Biscuit was born on Jan 1, 2021 adopted, then returned to Paws recently (so she might still be house trained).  She is a good listener and will even talk back sometimes, that is the husky in her.  

Robert and Cathleen are sweet 6 year old cats who were brought to Paws due to their owner no longer being able to take care of them.  These 2 are looking for their forever home together where they can lay around and argue who has the better sun spot from across the room, just like any siblings would do.

Sassy Sassette!!! This sweet girl recently had surgery on her hip and has been hanging out in the office while she recovers. Sassette was being fostered, but due to her injury and her lack of training, she had to come back. Sassette needs a loving, patient household. She is still learning to walk on a leash and needs someone who will take their time with her while she learns the ropes of becoming a family member. She is super sweet and loving and won’t mind sharing a seat with you to cuddle.

This Boo is who Dua Lipa was talking about when she sang about a Sugar Boo.
Boo is a sweetheart who has the attitude of a smarty pants teenager. Boo will sometimes think he is too cool for you, but you both know he loves you. If he could say words, they would be “MOM!!! DAD!!! Stopppppppp!!!” then he would smile because you both know, you know?!?

Damion does not know his size or his age. He is about 7 years old, but acts like he is 7 months old. He is on the larger side, but thinks he is a lap dog. He is just a big lovable doofy dog. Damion unfortunately wasn’t rescued from the best circumstances. Even still, he is one of the most loving affectionate dogs. He has never been properly house trained, so would need someone who is patient to teach him. We all think he would be the best farm dog. He loves to go on walks, run in the play yard and get petted.

Melissa doesn’t jiggle jiggle, she wiggle wiggles, in the grass. This girl LOVES grass. She rolls all around it in. She is such a happy girl with she is outside in the play field. She loves pets and walking too.
She is currently on medication for incontinence. She is the sweetest girl who just needs a home that has love, patience, someone to pet her, and grass. Sweet, sweet grass!

Do you like to throw tennis balls? Because Cosmo LOVES to chase them and bring them back. This handsome boy would be the prefect fit for someone who is active but can also rest with the best. This pup will play for however long you want and when you are done, he will snuggle right up on you. He is very sweet and affectionate, but does have a lot of energy. He would love someone who will walk him or play with him daily, but still have energy to give him pets. He is a giant love bug.

In your spare time do you like to toss sticks?  If so, Max would LOVE to chase them for you.  This German Shepard mix is in LOVE with sticks and frisbees.  He doesn’t catch them mid-air, yet.  We have a feeling that with enough time and practice he will get there.  Max is a sweet boy who turns into the happiest pup when he is out in the play yard.  We love seeing Max play and run. 

Mavis is a smart girl who would love someone to take her out and explore. She would love a yard to call her own and someone or a couple someones to take her out to play or for walks. She has been with us since Feb 2021 and we would LOVE for her to find her forever home.

Ajax has yet to accept his age or size. This almost 8 year old dog acts like a pup. He loves to run in the yard and play. He does take more pet breaks than he used to. The will let you pet him all day long if that is what you felt like doing. He is a sweet boy who needs someone with patience and time to get him trained. Unfortunately he wasn’t given the best life so far and needs someone to show him how to be a good house dog.

Need someone to help you get out of your shell? Angel is your girl. She can get a party going anywhere!
Angel recently had her front let amputated and is healing well at Paws. She was found in a field tied up and owner surrendered. She was taken to the vet who advised there was no saving her front leg. That hasn’t brought her spirits down. She is a loving, happy girl who is always down for a belly rub. She would do best as an only pet.

Levi is your typical goofy teenage boy. He loves to run and play and be active. He will chase balls, frisbees, sticks or whatever else you want to throw. Just like a teenage, whether he brings those back to you depends on his mood. He needs a home and family with patience as he has been in a shelter his whole life. Given the change and opportunity, Levi would make a great addition to any active family looking to add to their adventures.

Bristol is no ninja, her happy tail will give her away every time. She is a good trainer for anyone looking to cut their running times. She will push you go to faster with your running. She will also let you know when it’s break time by just laying out. She is a sweet girl who enjoys a good butt scratch.
Bristol came to Paws pregnant. We have been able to find forever homes for her puppies, but she is still looking. Is this beautiful girl what is missing from your runs or your yard?

Aphrodite is a mover, she doesn’t like to sit still. BUT, we think in the right house with the right family, this girl would be the BIGGEST cuddle muffin. She reminds us here at Paws of a fidgety mom. You know, the kind that can’t stand still, has to always be doing something. Walks into a store and is already ready to leave. She loves walks and grass and is looking for her forever yard that she promises to keep squirrel free. Aphrodite was rescued from a hoarding situation and would be best suited as an only animal.

Peter is a lovebug looking for someone to snuggle with. He has no problems letting you know he is around. He will get up in your lap, lay on your chest, and give you kisses for days. He loves belly rubs. He is an expert bug/frog/mole hunter as well. He is currenlty being fostered and is living in a house with older children who he loves to cuddle with as well. He is also living with a larger female dog and they play super well together. Peter is house trained, knows sit, stay and come. He walks best on a harness. He is an escaper and will run if given the chance, so a fenced yard would be best suited for him.

Dylan is an awkward teenage boy dog. He is an introvert who needs that extrovert friend to let him know his potential. He is shy at first, but once you get him out of his shell, he will make you smile all day long. Dylan runs in the yard and reminds us of a baby deer when he plays, he is understanding his size. He would make a excellent cuddler. He is looking for a family that will love him and that he can love back.

Gaia is a shy girl looking for someone to help her come out of her shell.  She would be best suited for a home with another dog, as that is where her personality really shines.   Gaia was adopted and re-surrendered to Paws due to no fault of her own.  She was a good dog to the family she was with, but she needs to be re-homed.  Gaia is currently being fostered with 2 other dogs, who she loves to run, chase, and play with.  She is a little timid around humans (we can’t blame her as she originally came to use after someone tossed her from a moving car).  She has shown no aggression or possessive behavior at her foster house.  She is warming up to everyone slowly and is now letting them pet her tummy!! She would be best suited for house with older children who can give her space if she needs it.  She has been in a home with cats and has not had issues.  She is potty trained, but did have a couple accidents her first couple days at the foster home.
