True to his namesake, Ray Charles is blind, but undaunted. The middle-aged chocolate lab has learned the route at his various stops including his foster home with 6 other resident dogs and the shelter, with its wire kennels, multiple doorways and expansive walking area. Yes, he bumped his nose a few times ad volunteers tried to steer him, and he learned to mark the path with his scent making it a dog-memory he could follow effortlessly.
Ray has been a ray of sunshine to many volunteers who find him easy to walk and loving attention. He is a low-energy boy currently at a good weight that might increase along with a prolonged length of stay. He trotted off with a potential adopter for a few hours, but his stress level at the new place, with the new people and the new dog and cat were more than Ray could handle. Growling his displeasure at his extreme discomfort, it was decided that Ray would integrate better into a less populated environment.
Ray Charles lies in his kennel on a carpet face forward listening for the next volunteer who will stop in and sit with him or leash him up to take him out. He is calm, good-natured, loves treats and would be a great addition to a home with senior people or just people without another dog. Although he harbors no ill-will towards other dogs when outside and around them, Ray is probably enough dog for anyone. Without his sight, a cat owner could host Ray Charles since there is little if any chance he would notice the cat unless it was dumb enough to rub itself right under his nose!

I admit that I’m a bad interview! Volunteers
have been reluctant to show me to potential adopters because I usually
throw a tantrum that scares (the “s” is silent!) visitors away. Yet,
most of the volunteers still love me — they are on to my antics and
working to communicate to me that nobody will love me if I keep acting
so poorly in front of them.
My apparent border collies (the “s” is
silent!) breed mix is famous for being somewhat skittish, and at first I
only liked the ladies. But there are many male volunteers here and I’ve
quickly learned that they are cool, too. Of course, they all took the
time to bring me along which has paid off for all of us.
Originally transported from the hurricane
that hit SC, I have been frustrated by kennel confinement and gained
some weight which I will happily “run off” with an active person who
jogs or skates or hikes. A special volun-teer takes me for runs on the
weekends which does a lot for my mood and calms me down.
Any experienced dog owner, particularly one
with border collie knowledge would love me after spending 30 minutes
working with me. I am way smart — sitting, lying down and making eye
contact for treats — and ready to learn a whole lot more. I just need
the chance.

Pucker up, ‘cause I’m coming in for a smooch! I
have been one of the lucky ones to be transported from S.C. But I am
anxious to move on to a real home and family that will love me.
With my cinnamon coat and golden eyes, I am an adorable package just
about 45 lbs. My underbelly gives me away as having been a new mom
before my arrival. Now, I’m a major-league wiggle-butt with a constantly
wagging tail and happy to be in the presence of people.
I have
been to a few offsite events where I get to meet and greet people of all
ages. At my worst, I jump on people with unbridled enthusiasm, but
mostly I just flip over for some belly rubs and lick faces whenever it
is least expected.
My age has been estimated between 2 and 4, but
many here think I’m even younger than that with my clean teeth and
puppy-like appearance.
I pull on leash walks initially but settle
down after a few minutes. I would make a great walking partner for
someone and an even better cuddle-bug.

My owner got sick and could no longer care for me and my brother, Max. At four years old, we ended up in a shelter awaiting a new person to adopt us, hopefully together since it seemed unlikely that Max, who is deaf, would be adopted on his own. And to mine and everyone’s surprise, Max was sprung a while ago and now it’s my turn.
I’ve been complaining about spending so much time in a kennel, and relish every opportunity to get out for a walk with volunteers even when it’s so hot. I just want to be with people. One of the volunteers has been taking me home for some sleep-overs at his house and it’s been such a stress-reliever. I get to sit in his chair like the queen of the house. He knows I’m housebroken and not going to chew anything, since I’m a grown up – not a puppy.
I’m a little shy with new people. They surround me and stare at me and it feels overwhelming sometimes, but I’m still a good girl and let them pet me and even kiss my head.
I’m not hard to walk on leash and I like a lot of the dogs I’ve met. The company of other dogs has made losing Max a little easier. I’m even helping another scared dog come out of his shell bey walking with him. And when I visited with the cats, I was courteous and quiet.
Being an eye-catching bluetick coonhound, people are attracted to my unique good looks. They need to see how sweet and loving I am on the inside, too. All it takes is some time and patience to find that I am a great choice for so many families.

Hi! I'm Big Ed ... Eddie to my friends and I have lots of friends here. They use words like “cool” and “chill” to describe my personality and they hang on for dear life when we're out for a walk, because I'm a BIG boy. I have pulling power but I'm not trying to drag you down. I just want to check everything out and I want company while I'm doing that. They have worked with me to slow me down. If I hear the word “stop”, I stop with my walker and wait till I hear “heel” to get moving again.
My golden eyes will meet yours with warmth and affection. My pink nose and lips form an adorable pucker of pleasure when people want to pet me. I take treats gently -- always sitting on command and offering up a paw. I know how things work! My girlfriend, Lilly and I were not living in a good situation. We were left alone for soooo long that sometimes the neighbor would have to come feed us.
At about 5 years old, I show the young dogs what it means to be a gentleman with people. I don't jump on them and push them around. I wait for an invitation and when beckoned, I happily plop my head in laps for a good face massage. Although I might sniff at the counter where the doughnuts sit, I have manners and do not try to snatch them.
With a little bit of help, I could learn to walk nicely on leash and that would bring me to the brink of perfection. I now am not the biggest dog here. In fact, there are quite a few big dogs waiting for a home right now. Big dogs almost always wait longer. Big is not bad...big is beautiful!

When it’s time to “Buddy Up” I hope you think of me. Having the most popular name for a dog has gotten me nowhere so far. I was in a foster home for a few months but my foster mom worked long hours and I was alone too much. I’m very good company — social, outgoing and loyal to a fault. Some other great qualities I possess include being potty-trained and walking well on leash.
There are some dogs I like and others I tolerate but I won’t be pulling your arm out to lunge at them. I don’t care that much. I can even live peaceably with a cat if the situation calls for it. I’m very flexible!
Specifically, I am your basic, mid-size, middle-age, beagle-boxer mix with a little extra padding that I’m hoping to walk off. Maybe we can do that together.
