Palmetto Paws Animal Rescue

Palmetto Paws Animal Rescue is an all-volunteer 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and placement of SC's at-risk dogs.

We are foster based in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. Adoption Policy
ADOPTION THROUGH PPAR:
We try to keep it as simple as possible. Each adoptable pet listed on petfinder has a bio with info on the pet as well as the specifics of the home we are looking for. We strive to send out healthy animals and make the best match for the pet and family. Many of our pets come from high-kill shelters and ma

ny have never lived inside. We expect that any adopter is willing to work on the “basics” such as housebreaking, leash and crate training as well as general commands. We recommend that any first time dog owner meet with our trainer soon after adoption to get off on the right track. Many pups come in without mom and dad so usually we have no idea of breed or potential adult weight. We make a guess on the breed mix as we have to post a breed on this site to be able to list our pets. This is a 100% guess! All of our animals will be spayed/neutered, have age appropriate vaccines and are microchipped. Adopters leave with a medical summary of what we have done while in rescue and what the adopter will need to do post adoption. We go over the medical summary with the adopter at adoption. We provide a new collar and leash and help adopters shop if needed. We welcome out of state adopters but please keep in mind that you would need to come to Charleston, SC to meet and adopt our pets. We do not ship/transport our animals. Adoption fees vary by animal and are listed in each individual posting. ADOPTION APPLICATION
If you are interested in meeting one of our animals listed on petfinder, please submit an application which can be found at palmettopaws.petfinder.com. Please complete the application in full as incomplete applications are not considered. We meet privately with approved adopters. We expect that at the meet, if all parties agree that we have a good match, then the adoption takes place at that time. As we usually receive multiple applications per adoptable pet we may only reply via email to the selected applicant. The goal is always the perfect match for the dog and for the adoptive family!��

🐾💕Spoon and Penny are the ultimate Yin and Yang! 🐾 They aren't littermates and definitely didn't adore each other at first, but now they complement each other perfectly.

🌸Penny (The Bold)
• Personality: Confident and completely fearless!
• Vibe: She is the brave leader who showed her sister the ropes.

🌼Spoon (The Shy)
• Personality: Cautious, observant, and sweet.
• Vibe: She was standoffish at first but learned to trust.

They bring out the absolute best in each other. Spoon gains confidence by watching Penny, and Penny loves having a best friend to protect. It just goes to show that blood doesn't make a family—love does!

🐾 Maya update: Maya is sweetheart who seeks love and play. She is large but does not have the crazy puppy energy of most 4 month old pups have. Maya is adjusting to house life well; she hasn’t had any accidents, indicates when she needs to go out and is doing well with crate training. We are working on leash training and she’s learning quickly; still needs working but is improving quickly but will need continued refinement as she grows.
She does great with other dogs, children of all ages and has been exposed to a cat and is doing well with cat exposure.

🐱 Meet Ari!

Ari, short for Aurelie, is a beautiful young lady whose name means “the golden one” in French—and it couldn’t suit her better. With her soft champagne-colored ginger coat, sparkling citrine eyes, and truly golden personality, Ari is the complete package.

Calm, curious, and affectionate, Ari is the kind of companion who effortlessly wins hearts. She enjoys life’s simple pleasures: batting around catnip toys, watching birds and squirrels from the window, and curling up in a warm lap or cozy chair for a peaceful nap.
