Update: Drew has been adopted.

Hi! My name is Drew! I'm a gorgeous 6 year old yellow Lab. Right now I'm with my foster dad and I love to go to work with him, I'm very well behaved and when he has to leave me in the office, I just sit at the window and wait for his return. I really like tummy rubs, and I'm a great walking companion! My fur is soft, like velvet, and I'm affectionate, but not in a pushy way. I really love my foster dad, but I need to find my own forever home so he can help save other Labs like me! If you're looking for a faithful companion, with a true Labby personality, I'm your guy!

Update: Gypsy has been adopted.

Hi, I'm Gypsy! I don't know why, but I ended up at the scary place, when the nice ladies from Wild Heir went to pick up one of my cell mates from the shelter they saw me and their hearts melted. I was so scared and alone so they brought me into rescue and now I'm living with a nice foster mom and my foster dog sister. At seven months old, I'm still just a pup but I'm a very good little girl. I know how to sit and stay and I'm well behaved in the house. I'm a petite little girl, so I probably won't be super big when I grow up. I'm really, really sweet and I'll curl up in your lap and give you hugs with my paws! I love to go to the dog park and play with the big kids. I would love to find my forever home so as I can grow up I can be part of a loving family!

The Lost Dog Cafe at 106 West Huron St, Folly Beach is hosting THANK DOG IT'S FRIDAY on Friday, June 19th from 5pm to 8pm. Come on out and enjoy hot dogs and cold drinks, music and the chance to win a great prize! Come meet our rescued dogs looking for forever and foster homes. We'll also have our labby merchandise available for purchase with all sales to benefit the Wild Heir Labs. Hope to see you Friday!

WHLR is in need of fosters ASAP! If you, or any one you know, could foster either short term (while a foster family is on summer vacation) or more long-term please fill out the foster application form. We are at a critical low. Please help spread the word and have anyone who can help contact me immediately.

Thank you!

Update: Sullivan has been adopted.

Hi, I'm Sullivan! I'm a gorgeous 3 year old guy. I was dumped at a very scary shelter in North Carolina and the nice people at Wild Heir went and rescued me. I was very shy and traumatized when I first came out of the shelter, but now I'm learning to trust again and my Labby personality is beginning to shine! I'm sweet and loving and I like other dogs, but what I really LOVE is the water! I'm a true retriever and would be very happy to find a forever home with someone who likes to go to the beach or has a boat.

Meet Missy! From her foster mom: Missy is about 18 months old, and is a beautiful 55 pound spayed female. She was found in the middle of a busy road, trying to shield a young puppy from oncoming cars. We live in the country so we suspect they had just been dumped. Missy has come a long way from that day in mid-February. She is housetrained, has had all of her medical work and is a delightful, playful companion. She walks well on a leash, travels well in a car, knows "sit", "down" and "wait", has received crate training (we only crate for meals, as she is completely reliable in the house), loves to play with her toys, fetch a ball and enjoy the water. She is good with our 5 dogs, but has not been exposed to cats. Missy is still shy and wary in new situations and places, so she needs a family to help her build confidence. She is great with our teenaged son. She really prefers to be right with her people at all times, a brother or sister dog to play with would be a plus, but not necessary. Missy is capable of jumping or digging under fences if she perceives she is being left, so she needs to be an indoor companion. She is a very calm and easygoing inside, we walk several miles daily and that seems to satisfy her need for exercise. The puppy was adopted, now it's Missy's turn to find her forever home!

If you are interested in meeting or adopting Missy, or any of our other dogs, please fill out an adoption application.

A big thank you to everyone who came out to Body, Mind & Spirit for Dogs and Their People in support of Wild Heir and Callie! Last night we raised over $1,000 to help pay for Callie's surgery! Thankfully the weather cooperated and the rain held off. A great time was had by all who attended, both two and four legged alike!

If you missed out on the fun, there's more to come at the Hot Dog Cookout and Dogwash tomorrow, Saturday, June 6th at Fetch Doggy Day Care in West Ashley. We'll be there from 11 am to 2 pm. Grab your BFF (best fur friend) and join us. We'll give your BFF a bath while you relax and enjoy a hot dog and a cold soda. After his bath, treat your BFF to some tasty doggy ice cream!

Hope to see you at Fetch, and thank you again to everyone for helping Wild Heir help Callie!

Update: Zoie has been returned! Yay!

Debbie and Chad that adopted Juliet- now Zoie- are missing her. She was taken from the IOP marina on May 31. We have been looking for her since
then and no luck. We really believe that she wandered off and got spooked or
that someone snatched her. Zoie is a 10 weeks old, black female puppy with white
markings on chin, chest and back feet.
