Hi there, I’m Nico! 👋
​I know older dogs sometimes get passed by, but at 7 years young, I really think I’m in my prime. I’ve mastered the art of good manners, I walk like a gentleman on a leash, and as you can tell from the video, just hanging out in the grass with a good friend makes my tail go non-stop!

​Whenever someone stops by my kennel, I put my best paw up to say hello and give a high-five. I’m not asking for much—just a sunny yard to stroll in, a cozy spot on the floor (or better yet, your couch), and someone to love me back.

​Will you come meet me please? Love, Nico!

What is it going to take for someone to adopt Isabelle? She is one of our favorites! She is a mixed breed and 40 pound of sugar sweetness!

Isabelle walks well on a leash, knows sit, and takes cookies so gently. Her love language is being close by your side! She may need some time before she can be trusted alone in a yard and prefers to be by your side anyway.

She has waited for months maybe because she doesn’t have the best kennel presence but forget about that and just meet her outside!! Please adopt!

Meet Moody! 🐾💙 Don’t let the 10-year-old senior tag fool you—this handsome, 73-pound chunk of love still has plenty of spirit, smarts, and heart to give!

​Moody spent his life working and exploring across 7 acres, which means he’s happiest when he has a routine, something to keep his clever mind busy, and people to love.

Whether you have property where he can be your shadow, enjoy quiet strolls, or just want a steadfast companion to lounge with while you work outside, Moody is ready to be your right-hand man.

​He is neutered, microchipped, and as sweet and sturdy as they come. Moody is currently heartworm-positive, but heartworms are treatable, and the shelter team can walk you through how easy it is to manage his care! SCAS covers the cost of treatment!

​Moody gave his best years to honest work—now he deserves a soft place to land and a family to cherish his golden years. Come meet this good boy today! 🐶✨

𝟭𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗗𝗮𝘆𝘀. A heartbreaking milestone I never thought I would reach. 💔 💔

​Hi, I'm Nova. Today, I woke up to my 1,000th morning behind the bars of my kennel at Sumter County Animal Services. That is over two and a half years of watching families walk right past me to choose someone else. I have tried to be patient, but a loud shelter is no place to spend a life, and my spirit is getting so tired. I just want a soft couch to rest my head on.

​Because I am currently heartworm positive, I urgently need a calm, indoor home where I can heal. Through the Foster-to-Adopt program, you can save my life today and the shelter covers 100% of my treatment costs (must live within 35 miles). Heartworms are NOT contagious—I just need a cozy, stress-free spot to decompress.

I am already spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped!
​Please, don't let me spend day 1,001 in a cage. If you have a quiet corner in your home, please step up for me. If you cannot foster or adopt, I am begging you to 𝗦𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗘. My family is out there somewhere!

Love........Nova!!
