My Nonprofit Reviews

A few years ago I came into the shelter looking for a small dog. I really wanted a terrier or yorkie to be exact, but at the time they only had 1 small dog, a 4 year old chihuahua named Butterscotch. I was never a big fan of chihuahuas, however, I stopped briefly at his cage and looked in. He was so tiny and curled up on a blanket. After a few minutes I stood and kept going, looking at all the other dogs up for adoption. However, something kept pulling me back to the little chihuahua's cage. He looked so scared and helpless. After about 30 minutes, I went into his cage and picked him up. I wanted to see how we interacted together, but of course he was a bit standoffish. I was a stranger. I put him back and continued to think about whether he was a good fit for me or not. After about an hour, I decided that I just couldn't leave the little guy there. When I went to the counter to let the staff members know that I wanted to adopt the little chihuahua, they were extremely helpful and got all the paperwork in order fairly quickly. Charleston Animal Shelter is a wonderful organization and we are lucky to have them. Butterscotch has been the light of my life since that day. He's a sweet, smart and devoted little guy. I love him with all my heart and soul.
