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 𝐉𝐞𝐳𝐞𝐛𝐞𝐥 (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), 𝐉𝐞𝐳𝐞𝐛𝐞𝐥 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! 𝐉𝐞𝐳𝐞𝐛𝐞𝐥 assumes everyone is her best friend. No seriously, she begs for love like it’s a full-time job 💼❤️ 💕

🌸 Meet 𝐌𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐥 — North Carolina’s Sweetest Survivor 🐾
🧡 70 lbs of love
🤎 Fawn beauty
👵 Possibly a recent mama
🐾 Still being evaluated for behavior with children, cats, or dogs.
𝐌𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐥’s story begins on the lonely backroads — abandoned and left to fend for herself 💔. For weeks, she survived on scraps, courage, and quiet hope. When rescuers finally found her, she was skittish, skinny, and had clearly just had puppies. But once she realized she was safe… she curled up and slept. 💤 A heartbroken soul finally at rest.
Now in a quiet foster home, 𝐌𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐥 is slowly blossoming. 🌷 She’s mellow, gentle, and soaks up belly rubs like sunshine. ☀️ 💕
Sage (TN)
Sadie (GA)
🐶 Meet Sage (TN) — your gentle giant and loyal heart-healer. At just 15 months old and 120 pounds of soulful sweetness, Sage is still discovering the world—but she’s already mastered the art of love. Her soft fawn coat and calm eyes tell a story of quiet strength, while her gentle spirit makes every room feel a little more peaceful.
🐶 She’s a low-energy lovebug who’s happy just being close. Sage will rest her head on your knee after a long day or lean into you with the kind of trust you only earn. But don’t be surprised when she hits you with her signature hop—her quirky little “play with me” move that never fails to make you smile 💕

🐶 Meet Sweet Sadie!!
🐶 Sadie is 2.5 years old 'pocket mastiff' at 100 pounds. Sadly, her owner passed away and she needs a new place to call home.
🐶 She loves to play and roll around in the grass. As most EM's she loves affection. She has been with children age 6+, she barks at cats that she sees outside. She has lived with other dogs, small and large...🐾💕

🐶 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.
