Adoptable Lacey had a fun Doggy Day Out with a great report!

“I took Lacy out today and it was a great experience.

She did absolutely wonderful. Such a sweet and loving girl. She would be an amazing addition to a family and is very cuddly and affectionate. She is very gentle when getting fed treats as well and showed no signs of aggression even when around another dog passing, just curious and full of energy!”

Four year old Lacy is available for adoption now at the Aiken County Animal Shelter, Aiken SC.

If you have questions or want to schedule a Doggy Day Out please call us at (803)642-1537 ext 3.

Percy is a 3-year-old Bernedoodle/Goldendoodle mix; he is high energy and very sweet. Would do well with an active family or a second dog; due to his energetic nature, older children would probably be best. He loves dog toys but tends to tear them up quickly and eat the pieces. He is not great on a leash (he does pull and needs a chain leash because he will bite through the normal ones) and does require some training, but he responds well to food-motivated training. He knows basic commands like sit and lie down, does have some separation anxiety, but if you cover his crate, he will be okay (he is crate-trained and house-trained). The owners are moving overseas and unfortunately are not able to take him with them, but would like for him to go to the best possible home.
Percy is a Home to Home adoption. Please click link below to message owner and read his full profile:

Ziggy is eight years old and the cutest boy!
He never has an accident in his kennel, he enjoys playing with other dogs, and just being close to you.
He is so sad at the shelter and he barks in his kennel so people think he is grumpy, but he is soooo sweet!
Take the time to meet this guy, he is totally worth it!

Lenny is very quiet, is potty trained, does not chew, loves affection. He loves to lounge around. The owners believes he was crate trained before he came to them. He has been good with other dogs in our experiences. He does great with their children, he would most likely prefer a more quiet household. He is two years old and neutered.

Zelda, we love you!

This little nugget came to us last year as a stray. She sat and sat waiting for a home and then it happened, yay!
And then she came back. The person who adopted moved and couldn’t take Zelda.
But..Zelda learned house manners, she sits, she lays down, she is great with other dogs (she is playful so she needs playful friends).
Zelda is four years old and so deserving of a home!
She is not a big girl, forty pounds and medium build.
Please help us find her a home!
