    VERY unorganized. They have you stop in 2 different places, then you move to a trailer, then they…read morecome back and take your dog in. Then they send you back to a space and wait for someone to come out to take payment. I paid by credit card, so she had to go back and forth again. Too many different checkpoints- waste of time. The whole process took an hour and 15 minutes. And that was with an appointment. They don't give you a prescription for heartworm. They just give you an invoice and that shows heart-worm test as negative. You then have to go on the website to purchase their heart guard preventative because online companies want an actual prescription

    I adopted a dog from GSHS in March of last year. Later that year I fell and broke my right ankle…read moreand a metatarsal head. I tried for at least 2 months to take care of my dog. I had trained her a lot and was glad to have her. But there came a time when I could not take care of her the way she needed. I couldn't walk her or let her out to do her business because I couldn't walk. My neighbor was walking her for a while. I was in a boot for 10 days then my doctor put me in a cast for 4 weeks. After 5 weeks I had to wear the boot again. All the while I could not walk. While in the boot I knew I had to make other plans. Since I am alone I knew that I would have to take her back because I was not able to take care of her. After the employee took her she told me that I WOULD NOT be able to adopt another dog, their policy is if a dog is returned, you cannot adopt from them again. I told them that I had no way of taking care of her so I thought this was the best thing for her. Obviously not. This was not a return just because I didn't want the dog. I was not physically able to care for her. That didn't make any sense to me. I wanted the dog, but was handicapped too long. It took me over 9 months before I could walk without pain. So now I have to try again to find a dog that fits my lifestyle and my capabilities. Not an easy task but I really hope I find one soon.

    There was no better way to heal our broken hearts after the passing of our darling yorkie, Wolfie…read morein July, 2014, then open our home and adopt a rescue dog who needed us as much as we needed him or her. I scoured the internet for weeks and signed up for pet search engines, adoptapet.com and Petfinder.com. On October 30, 2014, a male yorkie mix posted on petfinder.com. He called out to me. His name was Teddy and he was available through LowCountry Animal Rescue in Summerville. I completed the extensive on-line application. They checked our veterinary reference and made a home visit. As rescue groups look to make the best match, we were thrilled when we received that approval phone call the next day. You see, while we do have a fenced in yard and retired, sometimes, the match is to a household with multiple dogs, or children ... both, of which we had neither. We went to a 'meet and greet' at the PetSmart on Rivers Avenue, the next day. Would Teddy like us? Would hub like Teddy? It was love at first sight and we loved him every minute he shared our lives until he passed almost 7 years later. We had huge holes in our hearts but knew the time was right to fill the void with another precious soul who needed a fresh start. Back to the search engines. The first email in my inbox on New's Year's Day was from adoptapet.com. I couldn't believe my eyes when Clarence's face popped up on my screen, up for adoption through LowCountry Animal Rescue. I had submitted an updated application a month earlier and was approved. As such, I sent them a message with lots of questions to which they responded right away. I asked for Clarence to come to the Adoption Event at Petco, Summerville, scheduled for that afternoon. Clarence was beautiful ... a yorkie-schnauzer mix (Snorkie). Joe and he started bonding right away. He was just who we needed ... and this 6 year old needed us, too. In no time, we were a family of 3, again, on our way home. LowCountry Animal Rescue is a small group of volunteers who foster in their homes. Their fosters come from shelters and owner surrenders. They are responsive and take care of the dogs, cats and any other furry kids that are in their care. Adoptions are on weekends at pre-publicized Adoption events around the greater Charleston area. An approved application must be on file. The animals come up-to-date on shots, Heartworm tested and neutered or spayed. Both Teddy and Clarence were crate trained and house trained. Looking to open your home and heart? They're on Facebook ... Google them and click on 'pets available for adoption' on petfinder.com. Please adopt ... don't shop. You'll be saving a life.

    The adoption process is different compared to adopting from the local shelter, took a couple of…read moreweeks. The dog I adopted is great! He is socialized, not aggressive with my other dogs. He does have some separation anxiety but my other dogs do also, and this is a common trait with the breed. He was up to date on vacs and his medical info from all his vets was provided. He appeared well taken care of. I would adopt from this rescue again.
