POTATO

 

EXAMPLE OF A CHOW BELOW

 

 

Breed: Lab/chow mix 

Age: 3 years 

Sex: Male Unneutered 

Weight: 71 lbs 

Heartworm Status: Heartworm Negative 

Dog-friendly? Yes, currently kenneled with Gravy  

Notes/What We Know: This sweet, gentle, mellow boy is now orphaned after his owners were taken by ICE and deported, leaving him behind through no fault of his own. Despite the upheaval in his life, he remains a loving and affectionate companion. He walks well on a leash, enjoys treats, and happily soaks up attention from the people around him. His calm, easygoing nature makes him a pleasure to spend time with. This deserving boy has lost everything he knew and loved. Now, he just needs someone willing to give him a second chance and a place to call home. 

 

URGENT: We are currently over capacity, and  we are losing 18 kennels due to renovations. As an open-admission shelter, we cannot stop the intake of stray animals. All animals who have passed their hold times are at immediate risk once their hold time is up. Firm commitments with pickup dates are urgently needed to prevent euthanasia 

 

Lexington County Services in Lexington, South Carolina is in need of assistance placing these dogs with a rescue! These are available to a 501c3 rescue only.  We do exhaust every resource possible but unfortunately due to overcrowding dogs do become at risk of being euthanized. We can provide additional photos, video, vaccines, heartworm tests, health certificates, RABIES VACCINES or any behavioral assessments that may be needed 

 

Please make sure all communication is done via email to     LCASR...@lex-co.com

 

so that we can keep track of all communications.  We do have a phone used for rescue to call during an emergency or when we are away from the office such as transporting. The phone number is 803-465-5726. We respond to rescue inquiries Monday through Friday 8am-5pm(EST) and it is checked regularly. We offer free transportation Monday through Friday during business hours locally which would be the area of Lexington County, City of Columbia, or Richland County. Our staff is very passionate about getting all of these wonderful dogs to safety and will help in any way possible!

 

When inquiring about a dog, an animal ID number is required and not just their name. 

Include a note at the end of every email stating what rescue you are with.
