**UPDATE** CSCAGDR has recently discovered that Cody has the ability to alert prior to a seizure. We believe he could be a great asset to someone in the future. However, we do not feel that he has been socialized enough to enter a seizure alert dog program. We are looking for a temporary foster home for him that has the time to socialize him and take him to some obedience classes. His foster home would need to have at least a 6' fence. Please contact us if you are interested in fostering him or adopting him.

UPDATE: January 7, 2007: Unfortunately, Cody still has not found his forever home. He's grown into a gorgeous and BIG (94 lbs.) boy! He adores people, other dogs, cats, and kids. Cody would do very well in a new home that has a "job" for him to do - obedience, agility, therapy work, etc. He is housebroken, crate-trained, and very healthy now. His pictures really don't do him justice at all - he is quite the looker.

Cody was found along the side of the road, scared, emaciated and weak. After some coaxing, we got him into the car and took him home. Despite his condition, he was a typical puppy - play bowing to the other dogs and whining to get in with them and play. He met 9 other dogs without missing a heartbeat and was quite playful. Then, within the first 24 hours, before we could get him vetted, as it was a Sunday, he crashed. Could not get up, stopped eating, didn't move. :( His stools turned to bloody diarrhea. He was found to have hook worms and tape worms. He scraped negative for mange, although his hair was very patchy, and negative for heartworms. The big fear was parvo, as this poor little boy was very ill as you can see in his pictures. A protocol of deworming, fluids, bland diet, metronidazole and then antibiotics was started. The first 24 hours was touch and go, and then he rallied. Cody started eating and then got up and began to walk. By the end of the second day, he was up and moving, and beginning to want to play!! Parvo was ruled out and it seems this little boy was just so starved and so full of worms that he was only waiting for a safe place to collapse! Cody is your typical puppy, and oh, so sweet. He sleeps in the bed at night, with his head on my shoulder. He will be a good family dog, and a great companion for kids or other dogs. Will you please give this loving boy, who has had such a bad start, the home he deserves?

This sweet little baby was one day away from dying in a Greenville, SC gas chamber before being rescued by CSCAGDR. Her breed is a guess. We have no idea what she really is. Whatever it is, she sure is cute! Blondie is an explorer and sometimes finds herself in a bit of trouble :) She has lots of energy and loves to play. She came to us with sarcoptic mange and huge scabs full of pus on her elbows. She is now healthy and ready to go to her forever home.

UPDATE 10/7/2008: Blondie is a laugh a minute! She is full of energy and personality. She loves all dogs once she gets to know them and realizes they aren't going to hurt her (they're all bigger than she is here). At first, she will run and hide under the deck. Then once she comes out and does the meet 'n' greet, she is full of play, play, play!

Blondie is good with the cats inside, but will chase them outside. It is a game, and not to hurt them. She loves children. Blondie is a little fearful of new things, but once she forms a bond with her person, she trusts them to introduce her to new things. She loves to play with stuffed toys and chew on kongs!

Blondie is able to dig out of the bottom of a fence, so will need a secure fence to contain her. Please consider making this little girl a member of your family!

This cute baby was found running on the side of a busy highway. He is very playful and loves to play with the other dog at the rescue who is the same size as he is. We are working on housebreaking and cratetraining. He is very sweet and loves attention. He learned to sit in about 5 minutes so he's pretty smart too!

UPDATE 10/7/2008: Boo Boo is a sweet little guy who needs to learn the same manners as any puppy would. He is a happy boy, loves to cuddle and is very playful. We are unsure of his breed, but whatever it is, he is very cute! He is housetrained, cratetrained and is learning to walk on a leash. Boo Boo likes dogs and cats, although will chase cats as a game outside. He is good with kids, too. He loves to play with the other dog his size here. I think he would prefer not to be in a household with a lot of giant breed dogs who overwhelm him!! Can you give that to him??
