🚨 We may have “made up” some lies about our adoptable dogs…🐾 Are these exaggerations? Or are they just… facts? 👀 The truth is, these pups really are that amazing. They’re professional tail waggers, certified couch warmers, and full-time best friend material. 🐶 🌟 Stop by today and adopt one of these “totally not lying, actually 100% true” superstars. Come see for yourself — we dare you. 💙🐾 #AdoptDontShop #TotallyNotLying #BestFriendMaterial #ShelterDogsRock #YourNewDogIsWaiting ***we do not own the rights to the sound***

The best things in life come in twos - at least Ranger and Meadow think so! Their personalities have blossomed in the weeks that we've come to know them, and we hope the Internet can help us find their forever homes. This duo does not need to be adopted together, but keeping them as a pair means you'll get double the love and laughter. Find them at the East shelter. #A5157278 #A5157282

You may remember Franco. When he arrived in October, everything was new. Since then, he’s been building confidence — sitting, staying engaged, and showing how much he enjoys being around people. At a recent adoption event, Franco happily soaked up attention, wagged his tail nonstop, and reminded us how much potential he has. Male • 1 year, 4 months ID 59707728 At DHS since 10/30/25 Adopt.

The shelter is full and Cobb is urgent!! Some fabulous volunteers came to spend time with the pups today and to say that Cobb was happy would be an understatement! He was so happy for the individual attention. You could just see it in his eyes- how thrilled being with people made him. He is such an incredibly sweet and gentle boy 💕 we know he has been feeling down- understandably- being back at a shelter after years and years in a home. Seeing a spark of life back in him is truly beautiful. Adopted from the shelter 8 years ago. Now his people are moving and Cobb can’t go with them. So here he sits. All he has known for years and years has just disappeared from around him. Despite it all, he is easy going. He is easy to handle and walk, potty trained, and knows commands. This poor hoy has been devoted companion his whole life. He deserves to live it out in a warm, comfortable home. Not back in a crowded, loud shelter where it all began in the first place. 🌽Cobb 💙 Male 9 years old 🎂 ✂️ neutered 🐶 not reactive towards other dogs, but doesnt want another pup in his own space. prefers to be only dog 📍Lancaster County Animal Shelter SC ❇️ Pull fees sponsored ❇️ $300 sponsorship for heartworm positive dogs for treatment (if adopted, this is sent directly to the treating veterinarian) ✳️ Transport assistance available How YOU can help: • Like, comment, SHARE • Tag rescues, friends & family • Pledge $ to rescue • contact a rescue with your offer to foster • VOLUNTEER • transport Adoption fee- $100 includes: spay/neuter, heartworm test, microchip, first vaccines, and wormer.
