Bon Bon - URGENT DUE TO TIME AT SHELTER - SAFE
8/11/25 Intake: terrier mix, 57 lbs, 3.5 yrs old, female, HW+, stray. Bon Bon was brought in as a stray by animal control from 11th St in Hartsville after being found in someone's back yard. She is heartworm positive.
Foster Update Jan 30, 2026: Imagine my surprise when I picked up Bon Bon for a foster visit—she is an absolute beauty with the sweetest face and the most pleasant disposition. I originally planned to keep her for just a week to give her a break from the rescue and to be a companion for my other foster, Blazer… but it didn’t take long for her to steal my heart. This girl has clearly had obedience training and immediately began responding to basic commands. She’s housebroken, rarely barks, and walks beautifully on leash without pulling. When playtime with Blazer winds down, she’ll voluntarily head into her kennel to relax—such a good girl. “Bonnie” (my nickname for her) bonded with me quickly and adjusted seamlessly to her new environment. She’s the perfect playmate for Blazer and loves to wrestle, making her an excellent candidate for a home with other dogs. I truly can’t believe this amazing girl hasn’t been adopted yet. She came into the shelter through animal control six months ago and did have a trial adoption that didn’t work out—simply because she isn’t a good fit for a home with cats. So, no cats please! If she has any flaws, I honestly haven’t found them. Too good to be true? She really is that perfect and precious. Okay, yes—she may occasionally inspect the kitchen counter for snacks, but that’s it. If you’re looking for a snuggle bunny with great manners and a loving heart, you’ve found her.

Foster Update Jan 26, 2026: Oz just got back from a fun few-day foster vacation, and he absolutely nailed it. While hanging out with some college guys (and going on a field trip!), Oz showed everyone what a total gem he is. In three days, he had zero accidents, happily went into his crate without a peep, and never barked. He’s the kind of dog who rolls with the flow—crate one night, snuggled in bed the next, no complaints either way. His fosters describe him as super cuddly, sweet, and easy-going. Oz loves tug toys and chasing a ball, and he’s always happy to be part of the action (even trying to “help” with ping pong—adorable chaos included). Honestly, everyone who’s spent time with Oz has only good things to say about him. If you’re looking for a loving, well-mannered, go-with-the-flow kind of dog, Oz might just be your perfect match. Come meet this sweet boy—you’ll see why everyone falls for him.

She’s such a nice girl; affectionate with people, good with kids, plays nicely with other dogs, and she loves the kiddie pool. She seeks out volunteer attention and has overcome her shyness since arriving in December. Everyone keeps saying how sweet she is, so it’s hard to believe no one has asked for her yet. While out on her Paws Around the Pee Dee Palentine event in February, her handlers said she was sweet, has excellent leash skills, loved her car rides, and did well with the dogs and cats she met. Shepherd lovers ask for this sweet girl today, located in Hartsville SC. She’s not happy in her kennel and really needs to get out of the shelter ASAP.
