🐾❤️ NOVEMBER IS ADOPT A SENIOR PET MONTH! ❤️🐾

They’ve spent their lives giving love, and now it’s time for someone to give a little of that love back. We have FOUR beautiful seniors who deserve to spend their golden years somewhere other than a shelter kennel.

🐾 Onyx – 10 years old: Our sweet senior is heartworm positive, but that diagnosis doesn’t make her any less deserving of a loving home. She deserves someone willing to see beyond her medical needs and give her a chance.

🐾 Cici – 10 years old

🐾 Kirby – 10 years old

🐾 Dolly – 11 years old

These four have something in common: they’re spending years they can never get back waiting for someone to choose them. Senior dogs are so often overlooked for younger, more energetic pups. But what people don’t realize is that there’s something incredibly special about loving an older dog. They don’t need a lifetime promised to them. They just need someone willing to make whatever time they have left the very best it can be… A soft bed. A full belly. A warm home. Someone to love them. They’ve already spent a lifetime being good dogs. Now they deserve to just be someone’s dog. ❤️

We know adopting a senior can be emotional. We know the thought of having less time together can be scary. But imagine how much that time could mean to a dog who might otherwise spend it waiting behind kennel doors. Please don’t let their age be the reason they’re left behind.

❤️ This November, consider adopting a senior. You may not get their whole life, but you can make the rest of it beautiful. 🐾

COURTESY POST: Please contact (516) 978-1682 if interested.

Olivia is around a year old. She is very sweet and cuddly and was originally a stray cat who found her way into an apartment one cold night. Her current owner has been trying to find her a home ever since with no luck. She has her FeLV and Rabies vaccinations up to date and is already spayed. Please share or reach out to the number above if interested in giving Olivia a new home.

Meet Mia, our 2-year-old, short, stocky little sweetheart with a whole lot of love to give. Mia came to us after being left behind in a camper with two senior dogs, who are also still here waiting for homes. Despite everything, Mia has been nothing short of AMAZING. She loves everyone she meets, but if there’s one thing Mia loves more than anything, it’s human attention. She wants to be with her people, soaking up every bit of love she can get. Unfortunately, shelter life is beginning to take its toll on her. 💔

Mia is starting to paint her kennel, something we often see when dogs begin struggling with the stress and confinement of shelter life. This sweet girl isn’t meant to spend her days behind kennel doors. She wants companionship, affection, and a place to call her own.

🐾 2 years old
🐾 53 lbs of short, stocky sweetness
🐾 Friendly with everyone she meets
🐾 Will be spayed ASAP

Mia has already experienced being left behind once. We don’t want her to spend another day feeling forgotten. She doesn’t need anything extravagant. Just someone to love her, a soft place to sleep, and a home where she can finally relax.

❤️ Please help us get Mia out before shelter life takes any more of her spark.

Even if you can’t adopt, sharing Mia’s story could be what gets her home. 🏡🐾

Meet Waylon & Dolly, our adorable bonded beagle duo who are looking for a forever home TOGETHER! 🏡

🖤 Waylon is our handsome black-and-tan boy, approximately 4 years old.

🤎 Dolly is our sweet little senior lady, estimated to be 8–9 years old.

We suspect these two may actually be mother and son, but one thing we know for certain is that they absolutely adore each other. Where Waylon goes, Dolly follows. Where Dolly goes, Waylon is never far behind. These two are practically attached at the hip, and we would love nothing more than to see them stay together.

Despite not having the luxury of a consistent potty schedule here at the shelter, both do their very best to keep their kennels clean! We think they’ll appreciate having a home and routine of their own.

💕 THE BEST PART? WE’RE OFFERING A 2-FOR-1 ADOPTION SPECIAL! Dolly deserves to spend her golden years with the boy she loves, and Waylon deserves to keep his favorite girl by his side.

Two beagles. Two wagging tails. One adoption fee. One forever family. 🐶❤️

📍 Abbeville County Animal Shelter

Please share to help us find these two a home where they’ll never have to be separated! 🏡🐾

Edit: these boys are off to their next farm!!! (fostered to adopt if all goes well)

These two handsome Great Pyrenees brothers were recently surrendered to our shelter, and we’re hoping to find them a home before shelter life begins taking its toll. At just 15 months old, these boys have spent their entire lives together. They’re from the same litter, and while we know finding a home for TWO large dogs is a big ask, we would absolutely LOVE to see them stay together. ❤️

Here’s the thing about Great Pyrenees: these dogs were bred to have a purpose. They’re natural guardians, protectors, and working dogs. They thrive when they have space to roam safely, something to watch over, and a job to do. A shelter kennel is no place for a Great Pyrenees. Without the space, stimulation, and purpose they need, this breed can struggle tremendously in a shelter environment. We don’t want to watch these two young boys lose their spirit while waiting for someone to choose them. Whether it’s a properly secured farm with livestock to protect or a home with plenty of room and a family who understands the breed, we want to find these brothers somewhere they can truly thrive! Prior livestock experience and introductions would be important before placing them in a working role.

They’re only 15 months old. Their lives are just beginning, and they deserve so much more than four kennel walls.

CAN WE FIND THESE BROTHERS THEIR FOREVER JOB? 🥹🤍

We would prefer to adopt them together, but our biggest priority is finding the right environment where they can be happy, safe, and fulfilled.

🚨 URGENT: RAMBO IS STARTING TO LOSE HIS SPARK. 💔

Rambo has been with us for a little over TWO MONTHS, and we’re beginning to see the heartbreaking signs of kennel decline.

If Forrest Gump were a dog, he’d be Rambo. Seriously. 😂 He’s 62 pounds of pure goofiness, with the biggest heart and not a whole lot going on upstairs. He just wants someone to love him and some friends to play with.

Rambo was surrendered simply because his previous owner didn’t have a fence to keep him safely contained. He has been nothing but wonderful since arriving! He’s fully grown, fully vetted, heartworm negative, LOVES other dogs, and has never met a stranger. Cats are unknown, although he previously lived outdoors without any reported issues.

But here’s where our hearts are breaking: When Rambo first arrived, he kept his kennel clean. Now, he’s begun “painting” his kennel with his waste. This change in behavior is concerning and can be a sign that the stress of shelter life is beginning to take its toll. We’re watching a happy, goofy dog slowly struggle in an environment he doesn’t understand. Rambo hasn’t done anything wrong. He isn’t a problem dog. He’s just a big, silly boy who has spent over two months waiting for someone to choose him.

WE ARE URGENTLY BEGGING FOR A FOSTER OR ADOPTER FOR RAMBO. Even a temporary break from the shelter could make a world of difference. He deserves a yard to run in, friends to play with, and someone who loves him for the big, ridiculous goofball he is. Please help us get Rambo out before shelter life takes any more of his happiness. 💔
