If you are considering adopting from SSMR, but do not see a dog that interests you, please consider filling out an adoption application and going through the approval process. That way, if a dog that matches your needs comes in, it can greatly expedite the adoption process. We often check with our list of approved homes when a dog first comes in to see if there is a potential match – and sometimes those dogs go straight to their new homes after their vet work is complete instead of going on the website. We update the available dogs weekly, so check back often.

🐾 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐬: 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧 💕
🌸 From the depths of a crowded Alabama shelter, 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐬 emerged—sweet, soft-eyed, and quietly longing for a human heart to call her own. At just 3.5 years old, this beautiful fawn-colored girl has known sadness but never stopped believing in love. Her gentle gaze says it all: “I’m ready for my forever.”
👩👧👦 People are her true north—𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐬 thrives on connection. She wants nothing more than to curl up beside you and simply exist in the comfort of closeness.
🚶♀️ On walks, she’s a dream—steady, calm, and alert. Her eyes follow fluttering rabbits with curiosity, hinting at a light prey drive, but she remains composed. She greets other pups and people with quiet interest, never overwhelming, always observing...❤️ 💕

🎉 Meet 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐬 (SC) — 150 pounds of pure, unfiltered love with a fawn-tastic coat and a heart as big as her paws! 🐾💕
At 8 years young (might be younger), 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐬 is the perfect blend of cuddle puddle meets party animal 🎈. She's got sweet old-soul vibes but don’t be fooled — this gal still has zoomies in her spirit and wiggles in her booty! 💃
👩👧👦 Grew up with teens, but she’s a total people-person and would likely adore little ones too — as long as they’re ready to dish out the belly rubs. Strangers? Please! 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐬 assumes everyone is her best friend. No seriously, she begs for love like it’s a full-time job 💼❤️ 💕

Sadie (GA)
🐶 Meet our 7-month-old pups! Mary, Delilah, Sampson and Martha.
🐶 These pups (and their mom) came to us from Alabama and are currently with fosters. Deliliah and Mary might be mixed with a little boxer as Dad is unknown.
🐶 They are getting all their vetting needs met and will be available soon! 🐾💕
Rocky (VA)
🐶 Rocky is a young teenager in dogs' years. Indeed this beautiful brindle boy is 4 year old and currently resides in Virginia.
Like most teenagers he needs some direction and would fit best with a family who is willing to continue his training.
His current keepers don't have small children, but they say that Rocky came from a military family who had young children and as far as they know he was good with them.
When meeting new people Rocky barks for a while but then he settles down. He has been living with two other Mastiffs and he gets along well with them. He has never been around small dogs and when he sees cats he barks at them...
Leo & Exley (SC)
Meet Leo and Exley.
Their owner has serious health issues, and they will need placement soon. They both want to be near their people all the time. They love each other and have been together since birth. They will play fight when the UPS guy comes. But don't hurt each other. They have been around dogs as small as a Jack Russell and have been fine. They have not been around cats.
