🐾 Ranger (aka Baxter) — Looking for His Forever Home! 🐾

📍 Location: Lexington, SC

🐶 Name: Ranger (aka Baxter)

🎂 Age: ~1 year (~DOB: 05/12/2025)

🐾 Breed: Beagle/Coonhound-Type Mix

⚖️ Weight: 24 lbs on intake (full grown aside from filling out a bit)

💙 M/F: Male

💉 Neutered, heartworm negative, microchipped, up to date on DHPP, rabies, bordetella, heartworm prevention, and flea prevention.

🐕 Good with dogs, cats, and kids?
Yes! He has done well with everything and everyone he has met. He could not care less about cats and loves other dogs.

🩺 Aggression or medical issues?
None known.

📖 Why is he available?
Ranger was picked up by animal control and was not handling the shelter environment well. He was pulled into foster care so he could decompress, learn how to be a pet, and find a forever family.

🏠 House/crate trained?
House trained. He knows when crate time is coming and may give you "the look," but once inside he settles quietly and doesn't make a sound.

💕 Personality:

Ranger is a happy, energetic young dog who loves attention and wants to play all day long. His foster says he's still figuring out how to be a pampered house dog instead of a dog entertaining himself in the woods with sticks.

🎾 Loves balls
🐕 Loves playing with dogs
🍖 Extremely food motivated
❤️ Learning every day that humans are pretty great

He has not chewed up anything in foster care and is easily redirected when he gets curious.

⚠️ A home with another playful dog is NON-NEGOTIABLE.

Other dogs are what help Ranger feel comfortable, confident, and successful. He looks to them for guidance, learns from them, and genuinely enjoys their company. We do not feel he would thrive as an only dog.

If your dog is looking for a best friend, Ranger may be the perfect addition to your family.

💙 Still Looking for His Forever Home 💙
📍 Lexington, SC

Boomer (aka Bandana) is somehow STILL available, and honestly I'm a little shocked.

This sweet boy is approximately 1 year old, currently around 47 lbs (and still needs to gain some weight), and is expected to be around 55 lbs at a healthy weight. He's a Poodle mix with a non-shedding coat and has been an absolute pleasure to foster.

Since his original post, we've learned even more about him:
🐾 He LOVES other dogs and would happily spend hours playing with them.
🐾 He has started playing with toys and loves stuffed toys specifically
🐾 He has pretty decent off-leash recall.
🐾 His crate is clearly a safe place for him — at night he usually chooses either his bed beside me or his crate with the door standing wide open.
🐾 He does not get on furniture.
🐾 He walks beautifully on leash.
🐾 He is fantastic for grooming and nail trims.
🐾 He is gentle, friendly, and well-mannered with everyone he has met.

One of my favorite things about Boomer? His sleeping positions. 😂 I constantly find him upside down, legs in the air, completely passed out without a care in the world.

Boomer was originally pulled from Columbia Animal Services after being found as an injured stray. He arrived severely matted and needing medical care, but his wound is now healed and he's ready for a family of his own.
✔️ Neutered
✔️ Microchipped
✔️ Heartworm negative
✔️ UTD on rabies, DHPP, and bordetella
✔️ UTD on heartworm and flea prevention

⚠️ PLEASE read before inquiring ⚠️
Boomer's coat requires regular maintenance. Dogs with this coat type need professional grooming every 4–6 weeks and daily brushing/combing to prevent painful matting. Please be prepared for the time and expense that comes with a non-shedding coat.
If you're looking for a friendly, easygoing companion who loves other dogs, collects his toys into a pile, and sleeps upside down like a goofball, Boomer might be your perfect match. 💙

💙🐾 Sweet, playful little guy with a gentle soul looking for his forever family!

📍 Lexington, SC
📅 Earliest pick-up date: 5/23

🐾 Name: Chalupa
🐾 Age: ~10 weeks (~DOB: 03/11/2026)
🐾 Breed: DSH — Dilute Tabby
🐾 S*x: Male

💉 Vetting:
✔️ Dewormed
✔️ Microchipped
✔️ UTD on flea & heartworm prevention
✔️ 2 rounds of FVRCP
❗ Intact (remaining vetting required through adoption contract)

🐶🐱👶 Good with dogs, cats, and kids?
Yes! He has done wonderfully with everything he has met so far.

⚕️ Medical or behavioral concerns?
No known aggression or medical concerns.
Chalupa and his siblings were dumped in a box outside Columbia Animal Services. They came to us riddled with parasites and severely underweight — nearly half the size they should have been for their age. Since then, we have worked hard getting them healthy, gaining weight, and catching up. They now weigh enough to begin flea/heartworm prevention and start finding forever homes.

💙 Personality:
Chalupa is probably the most cautious and sensitive of his siblings, and honestly, it just makes him extra endearing.
He is still very sweet, playful, and affectionate, but compared to the others he startles more easily around loud noises and unfamiliar people. He tends to take a little extra time to warm up and figure things out.
Some days he is all about cuddles: if you hold him and pet him long enough, he may drift right off to sleep on you 🥹💙
Other days? He would rather spend every waking second chasing toys and playing (typical little boy kitten 😂).
He LOVES his toys, loves chasing things, and has that fun, playful kitten energy while still having a softer, gentler personality.
And like all of his siblings, this crew absolutely LOVES people. They come running to greet you the second they see you, and their purr motors are HUGE and unbelievably loud for such tiny babies.
✨ Litterbox trained
✨ Eating both wet and dry food

Gordita Crunch and her siblings were dumped in a box outside Columbia Animal Services. They came to us riddled with parasites and severely underweight — nearly half the size they should have been for their age. Since then, they have been gaining weight, getting healthy, and catching up beautifully. They now weigh enough to begin flea/heartworm prevention and start finding furever homes.

💙 Important Breed Awareness:
As with many Siamese and Siamese-mix cats, there is an increased lifetime risk of vision issues, including blindness, even at younger ages. This does not mean she currently has any vision concerns, just something adopters should be aware of and comfortable with.

💗 Personality:
If you are looking for a kitten that believes personal space is optional… this is your girl.
Gordita Crunch is the snuggliest and most laid-back of the bunch. She is the foster kids’ FAVORITE, and somehow even won over the husband, which is saying a lot since he is not usually a cat person 😂
She will happily let you hold her like a baby and pet her for hours. She is incredibly sweet, calm, affectionate, and just wants to be loved.
And she is not alone, these kittens are HUGE people fans. They come running the second they see you, greeting everyone with giant purr motors that are shockingly loud for such tiny babies. 🥹
