Ranger

ADOPTED!

Seems TX has an abundance of Carolina Dogs and we were lucky enough to be able to save this sweet pup from a shelter where he was on their euthanization list! 
We'd like to introduce Ranger a very young Carolina Dog that was adopted out to a family that didn't understand the breed and returned him which put his life in immediate danger.  Ranger is only about a year old, male, neutered, housebroken, up to date on all vaccinations and HW negative.
He's currently at a boarding facility with our other rescue, Timber and he gets along very well with other dogs.  Ranger LOVES to play with toys and he'd be perfectly fine in a home with children - he's gentle and he just wants to be next to his humans! 
He came very close to losing his life and that makes him very special to us - he's got so much more living to do and he's got such a great personality!
Ranger told us that he'd love to find a home to settle down in - so we're asking that you send us an email if you think he might be the right dog for your family - savingcarolinadogs@yahoo.com
Feel free to join our FB group page also - there are updates on all of our rescued dogs and we always have more dogs coming in!  You can find the link on our website www.savingcarolinadogs.com

Smokey

ADOPTED!!

Smokey is a sweet 1.5 year old male we pulled in Texas and had brought to Tennessee so we could save his life!  The shelter told us he had been an outdoor dog his whole life living at the end of a chain and tied out....we think he deserves a whole heck of a lot more than that!
He's been neutered since we brought him into the rescue, he's HW negative and all of his vaccines have been updated. He's shown no reaction to cats and plays well with other dogs.  He weighs 62 lbs. and won't be getting any bigger than that.  He's stunning with his cream colored body and tan points on his ears, back and tail - he's got that typical fish hook tail and has a lovely gait when he runs.
Currently he is in boarding temporarily until we find him a forever home or foster - we can transport him to an available foster without a problem!
If you'd like to foster Smokey or adopt him, please send us an email at

Timber

ADOPTED!!

Say a big HELLO to one of our latest rescues, Timber!!  At just about a year old this little boy was rescued from a high kill shelter in Texas thanks to the wonderful staff there! He came into their shelter as a stray.  He had already been neutered but no one came forward to claim him so we pulled him into SCD's rescue network.
He's a friendly outgoing pup, loves to play with other dogs and would love to have a home of his very own. 
We currently have him in boarding at a wonderful facility in Dallas and he's a joy to everyone he meets there. 
Timber is up to date on all of his vaccinations, he's HW negative, and he's very intelligent - we'd recommend some training classes so he can bond with a new family.
Please send us an email if you're looking for a young male that would fit perfectly into a home that will show him lots of love and play with him.  An active family with another dog or children would be perfect for him.
Send us an email at savingcarolinadogs@yahoo.com if you'd like to know more about Timber!

Bowie - 9-10 month old male being fostered in PA!

ADOPTED!!

Bowie.....what can we say about this sweet boy???  A LOT!!  Bowie came to us from a high kill shelter in Texas after being there for almost 2 months - he's a lucky little guy!  SCD had him fully vetted and neutered and then had him transported to VA to a temporary foster home and now he's in PA with 2 other Carolina Dogs in a foster home that's working on crate training and good canine social skills - he has adapted well to each home he's been in!
At just 9 months old, he's still a baby with puppy energy and the urge to be silly and play until he passes out in a heap (lol he's just recharging for his next adventure!)  Bowie is very intelligent and picks up voice commands as well as hand signals with ease.  50 lbs. of pure playful puppy love and happiness!
We'd like to find him a home with at least 1 other dog to play with, one that can match his enthusiasm!   His energy may be a bit too much for very young children, so we'd recommend a home with children at least 12 + years.  He's a little TOO fond of cats so we'd prefer a home without them.  He absolutely HAS to have an active family that will take him hiking, running, swimming at a beach, playing in the backyard, outings to the dog park - remember he's a puppy and above that he's a Carolina Dog so he needs exercise.  Carolina Dogs are pack dogs, your family is their pack and they bond very closely with their humans.  We highly recommend training classes for him so he can learn all commands, bond with his guardian, and have direction in his life.
If Bowie sounds like the dog you've been dreaming about night after sleepless night - drop us an email at savingcarolinadogs@yahoo.com 
He's waiting for you!!!

ADOPTED!!!

Every once in a while we come across a dog that's just GOOD....with everything!!  This is Jemma, a beautiful female Carolina Dog mix that we rescued in NC and brought into our rescue network.  Jemma likes everyone and everything - cats, dogs, children, running and playing, snuggling, going into her crate with no complaint, learning new commands....you name it, she's down for it!
Jemma is 55 lbs. of 'let's have a blast!!!' energy - so yes, she's a big girl but she's a love also.  She is currently being fostered with 2 cats, 2 awesome kids, and a sweet little Carolina Dog foster sister who watches Jemma run and jump and takes notes so she can follow her lead lol! 

We are looking for an active family for her - no couch potatoes for this girl!  She loves to run and play and she's so good natured that dogs parks, beaches, etc. would be great for her.  She's working on her commands but we honestly think she'd benefit from some beginning obedience classes so she can bond with her new family and get all the basics down pat!!  She's house broken, crate trained, spayed, HW negative and up to date on all vaccines.  ALL this girl needs is that perfect forever home....the one she's been dreaming about since we rescued her! 

Jemma wants you to send an email to savingcarolinadogs@yahoo.com so she can see if your family might be the right one for her!

Sophia

ADOPTED!!

Meet Sophia - a female Carolina Dog mix that is about 2 years old that is being courtesy posted by Saving Carolina Dogs due to her family (military) being deployed overseas. 
They rescued her in 2014 from a high kill shelter and treated her for HW (she's 100% recovered now) and she settled in very well with their family.  They're only able to take 2 of their pets with them and the cat and other CD will be going with them, Sophia needs to find her new forever home.
She's a beautiful tan and buff CD mix and she's very lovable. However, she does have a high prey drive and would do best with no other small animals (including small breed dogs) in the home.  She does live with an adult cat, but has shown aggression towards kittens - so you'd have to be experienced if you were to introduce her to a cat.
She walks well on a leash, loves car rides, enjoys being outside - LOVES children!  She does OK with dogs her size, but is Alpha at a dog park so she'd be better with an active family that doesn't go to them.
She'd be perfect for someone who likes to go hunting with her excellent prey drive and ability to catch small animals.
Sophia is spayed and up to date on all vaccines - she's a very sweet girl - if you think she might be the right dog for you, please send an email to savingcarolinadogs@yahoo.com

Lucy

ADOPTED!!

We'd like to welcome Lucy a sweet little Carolina Dog that is being fostered in the Pensacola area of FL into the SCD rescue network! 
Lucy is an amazingly intelligent CD that LOVES being outdoors - she also likes to jump fences, for fun - lol - so we're looking for a home with a high (at least 6 foot) and very secure fenced in yard where she could run and play.  She's about to begin her treatment for Heartworm so she won't be ready for a forever home until somewhere around the end of April 2016 - SCD is teaming up with another rescue to treat her so she'll be 100% healthy when she's ready to be adopted!
She's been spayed, she's 100% house broken, likes cats, children and most other dogs - introductions would need to be made on a neutral territory as she tends to have a bit of an "Alpha" attitude.  We'd like to see her in a home with a family experienced with the breed, enjoys doing outdoor activities and revolves their lives around their 4 legged members!
We encourage all of our adopters to sign up for training classes so that the dog can learn their boundaries, commands, and form that life long bond that's so essential between dog and guardians.
Please send an email to savingcarolinadogs@yahoo.com if you think Lucy might be the right dog for you.  As always transport is available for any of our dogs within the US!
