We’re beyond grateful to this amazing community for helping bring Buglet and Rue to safety! ❤️

After so much worry, we’re incredibly happy to share that they are BOTH alive and safe. The support, shares, messages, and everyone keeping an eye out truly made a difference.

Buglet was saved through our Save A Pet program and now has a new big brother to love and grow up with. 🐾💕

Rue has also safely left with a foster through a rescue, where they’ll be cared for and loved while starting their next chapter. 🐾💕

Thank you to every single person who helped, shared, cared, and hoped alongside us. This is exactly what community is all about, and we couldn’t be more thankful. 🖤

🐾 Happy endings are our favorite kind of story. THANK YOU ALL!

Sweet senior Draven was saved JUST in time today and welcomed into a loving new home. After everything he’s been through, this gentle boy now gets to spend his days exactly as he deserves (curled up on the couch, surrounded by comfort, love, and family). 🛋️❤️

Seeing Draven finally able to relax and enjoy the simple joys of being a cherished companion means the world to us. Senior dogs have so much love left to give, and we are beyond grateful that Draven’s next chapter will be filled with warmth, soft blankets, and plenty of couch potato naps.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this happy ending possible. Wishing Draven many cozy, peaceful, and love-filled days ahead. 🐶✨

✨PUPDATE: DRAVEN IS SAFE✨

NO TIME LEFT!! DRAVEN NEEDS OUT BY 4PM TODAY (3 hour extension only) 🚨 **$250 in pledges offered to qualified 501c3 rescue who takes this boy** PLEASE help us make a miracle happen. Our kennels are completely FULL, and because of severe lack of space, Draven was moved onto today’s euthanasia list. He is a senior, heartworm-positive, pit bull type dog and these are ALL things that unfairly make it harder for him to get noticed. But none of those things should cost him his life.

The FASTEST way to save Draven TODAY is through our Save-A-Pet program. This allows someone to step up and adopt him immediately while they continue to search for rescue placement on their own or they can simply keep the dog themself. 💓

NO TIME LEFT! HELP DRAVEN!

Sweet older gentleman!! DRAVEN (A055859) - HIGH RISK OF EUTHANASIA DUE TO SPACE - **Lexington County Animal Services - Lexington, SC - Needs out by Friday at 1pm**

Breed/Age: Pitbull mix | ~8 ½ years old | Male (Unneutered) | 66 lbs | **HW POSITIVE**
About Him: Found as a stray, this senior gentleman is terrified of the loud shelter environment. Underneath his nervous outside is a SUPER gentle, pure soul who just wants to cuddle close, get ear scratches, & snack on treats. He desperately deserves a soft couch to live out his golden years. Please help!!
