Adopt A Bull for Adopt A Shelter Pet Month

A New Life for Lovabull Lucy

September 3, 2016

My Saturday Staffie Spotlight goes to Lucy 2! Lucy is a staffordshire terrier mix, one of the many breeds included in the pitbull category of pups. After living in the same home fur her entire life, she was surrendered by her “owner” to Hallie Hill Animal Sanctuary in Hollywood, SC. This lovabull senior pitbull dog has been at the dog rescue fur 18 months and desperately needs a new home to live out the rest of her beautibull days!

Unfortunately, when hoomans give an animal up, they don’t always tell the whole story, so there are just some things we don’t know. Her hoomans said she got into a scuffle with another dog, but she had lived with that pup fur almost 10 years with no problems! Something just isn’t rite about that situation, but we will never know fur sure. What we do know fur sure is that this staffie pitbull pup wants nothing more than to cuddle up and be your bestest cuddle bug.

Lucy couldn’t be in a better place as far as dog rescues go – Hallie Hill is truly an animal sanctuary where dogs have their own space with long runs. But I firmly believe that ALL pups should have a furever home. A place to call their own. A place where hoomans wuv them and pamper them – yup! You heards me!!! And Lucy 2 is no exception!

This lovabull senior pitbull is over 10 years old and needs you to give her a home! Lucy 2 is spayed and up to date on all of her yuckies (vaccinations) and is heartworm negative (HW-). As you can sees, she just wuvs to laugh and begs fur belly rubs! She also wuvs to go on walks and get treats. She would pawbably do best in a single pet home cause she deserves all the attention and needs to be in the spotlight for her senior dog days, but meet and greets are welcome!

Are you the pawfect family fur Lucy 2?!? Then pawlease contact Hallie Hill Animal Sanctuary at 843-889-3713 to finds out more about this adoptable pitbull! Of course, she needs her story shared so she can be seen and find her new hoomans, so shout it out to the world! 18 months is too long to live without a true home with soft beds and doggy bones! See Lucy 2 the Staffy in Action in her Debut Video

Pierre the Tripawd is Looking for a Service Human

August 20, 2016

Meet Pierre the Pibble Tripawd! He’s my Saturday Spotlight looking fur his furever home! This handsome 3 year old fella was found as a stray wandering the roads of Orangeburg, SC. He’s had a ruff start to life, being found with a hurt leg and suffering from parvo. Thanks to some pawsome hoomans, Pierre had his leg amputated to take away his pain and he has fully recovered from the nasty P word. And we all know it’s a tuff thing to fight off so this boy is some special tuff stuff that will be around for awhile!

Lucky for Pierre, Eunoia Rescue of Charleston, SC stepped in and pulled him from the animal shelter to give him a chance at life after surviving all of this mess! I means, after overcoming parvo and having a leg chopped off (we don’t know how or why), they just had to make sure Pierre wasn’t let down by hoomans again! BUT, here’s the problem – because Eunoia is a foster based rescue and there are no foster homes available fur him rite now with their dog rescue, Pierre is having to stay in boarding. Although he’s not in a shelter environment anymore, thank dog!, it’s just not a great place for a doggie to live. It’s not a home. Not to mention it takes a bunch of bones (money) that Eunoia Rescue could be using to help save other dogs’ lives!

Now that you know you already want to bring Pierre the Pibble Tripawd into your home, lets me tell you a little bit more! In a home setting, Pierre is the MOST lovabull pup in the world! He wants to cuddle and lay beside you and he evens knows if you are happy or sad and need some extra pittie wuvin’! And guess what?? He likes ice cubes just like me – I mean, he wouldn’t really even be a dog if he didn’t would he? bol! And look at his face! He seems like he can be a bit goofy like me too! Did I mention he wuvs to lay in the sun?!?

So this is where Pierre needs a service hooman! He doesn’t need you to carry him around or anything like that, he just needs a best furiend. He needs a hooman that will give him guidance and unconditional wuv and continue his training. He’s not a dog that you’ll be able to take to the dog park or puppy parties, but that doesn’t mean the two of you can’t go on lots of adventures – it just means he likes hoomans more and will be your loyal companion! Because he’s such a people pleaser, Pierre does need to be in a home with no other pets, and would do best with older kiddos (13+). He’s even getting weekly dog training with K9 Good Manners and is excelling with progress!

Pierre desperately needs to get out of boarding. It’s just no life fur a dog. Although he would prefer a furever home, a long-term foster home would be a pawmazing place fur him to continue to thrive and progress with his training. Pierre needs to be able to depend on you and for you to give him a chance to show you he’s the best pup in the world!

If you are interested in fostering or adopting Pierre, pawlease contact Alicia with Eunoia Rescue in Charleston, SC at EunoiaRescue@gmail.com or by calling 843-367-9797.

Wet Woof Wednesday!

August 3, 2016

Living next to the pluff mud here in the Holy City of Charleston, SC near Folly Beach it has been supa dupa hot! We had record highs for the month of July that we hasn’t seen since the 19th century! Century? Wait! What does that mean?? I don’t thinks I was around back then bol!! Anydog, whatever it means, it means it was HOTDOG city! And what does that mean fur us pups? POOL TIME! Wooferoo!

I like to swim in my own special way, BUT drinking the swimming pool water is the bestest EVER! I has all the water I want, whenever I want it! And it never, ever disappears! Can you see the water droplets dripping from my chin? I was so happy and proud to show Mommers by BIG discovery! Since it’s so hot, I stay on the tops steps when I’m outside. Gotta keep my white coat hydrated and beautibull ya know?!?

Arabella, AKA BatEars is all smiles fur the camera! She just finished swimming laps and diving off the side fur her nylabone rubber stick and tennis ball. She is practicing to be a dock diving dog so she can compete with our local Palmetto Dock Diving Dogs chapter! How pawsome is that?!?

Everypawdy just wuvs some Buddy Boy. But this poor fella is soo afraid of the water. He uses the swimming pool for a big water bowl like me, but he won’t even get in on the first step. Silly boy! He’s missing out! I wonder’s if he mite be allergic to the water bol…

Cloudy is just a big goof merle Great Dane with a smile as big as he is. He won’t get in the swimming pool either, but he wuvs to run and chase around the outside of it. He’s just gotta get dizzy! When Arabella and I are fetching balls and sticks from the water, he is always rite there in your face (yes, a lil too close sometimes bol) barking cause he wants to play and get in on the action, too!

Meet Frazier: The Transgender Dog

July 22, 2016

Meet Frazier: a young male brindle pitbull full of life and love, yet the victim of cruel animal abuse when his “owner’s” father cut off his wee wee so he couldn’t go potty. He was found several weeks ago on Frazier Road emaciated, just skin and bones, and covered in ticks and fleas, heart worm positive, and missing his penis. I can’t tells you much more though, because Fray is the subject of an ongoing investigation in Marlboro County, South Carolina.

Thanksaroo to our furiends at Veterinary Specialty Care, Frazier underwent surgery to fix his injuries, and has been treated and cared for at the facility ever since. Because Frazier couldn’t go potty and his wee wee had been severed, he became a transgender pup, so now he pees like a lady. But hey, no paws pointing here, cause everypawdy says I pee like a girl too! Hoomans have such restrictions on what is normal! Sheesh! After so many weeks of living in and out of an animal hospital, Fray is starting to get depressed and needs to get out. That’s where we come in!

You see, I was pawing some hearts with my Instagram profile when I came across a foto of a handsome fella with a short description on @konasukibones‘ page, and I was outraged. (I had missed the previous posts on Frazier cause everypawdy knows I’ve been gone fur awhile) So, I asked her to message me some info so I could share this boy’s story. And when I didn’t paw back quick enuff, she passionately started tagging and begging me to help find this pawsome pitbull a home before he has to be returned to the shelter. Cause here’s the thing Pupsters, if he has to go back to the shelter, he will most likely hit the euthanization list immediately. Yuppers, you heard rite. It’s a high rate kill shelter and we all know pitbulls, especially one with “problems”, don’t last very long. This is where Frazier needs our help!

Frazier needs a home! Because he is still part of an investigation, it would be a foster to adopt process, which means you would start out as an approved foster, and then would finalize adoption once all the legal mumble jumble is complete. (Trust me, it’s purdy simple cause that’s how we gots my Zaida monkey sissy kitty.) But anydog, here’s what I CAN tell you about Frazier…

Frazier is loveabull! Frazier wuvs kiddos! Frazier wuvs other doggies! Frazier has healed! He’s been staying with one of the VetMans some, and he’s been great with other dogs, cats (kinda shys away from the bol – what smart doggie wouldn’t?!?), and even the tiny hoomans! He wuvs belly rubs, and playing with toys, and enjoys a good snuggle! He’s still finishing up his heartworm treatment, but that’s almost done!

Pawlease pawlease consider adopting Frazier. He’s a great pup who really needs a furever home and a second chance at life. Give him the future he deserves – I cans guaranpuptee that you won’t regrets it!

For serious inquires, pawlease contact Veterinary Special Care of Mt Pleasant at 843-216-7554 and ask to speak with Dogtor Schlicksup or Dogtor Letra. Frazier is in the Charleston, SC area so you will be able to meet him; adoption will be finalized through Marlboro County Humane Society.
