I am the best ambassador for the Palmetto Rescue Brew Beer because...
I was a “yard dog” with my sister and frequently got bored, so I learned some escape routes. On one of my escapes, the Athens Animal Society picked me up. I wasn’t microchipped, but somehow, my owners were identified and notified I was in doggy jail. They arrived at the shelter, and not only surrendered me, but brought my sister to surrender as well. My sister (much smaller than me) was rescued, but being a large black dog, I was in the shelter for many weeks. My (now) mom, who had previously volunteered at the shelter and kept up with the website, saw my post and fell in love. She followed my story, not sure she was able to financially able to support a fur baby, but as soon as the “no time remaining” showed up on my picture, she got on the phone— to the shelter and to my (now) aunt who drove an hour to sign the adoption papers. My new mom drove 5 hours to pick me up and, while I wasn’t sure what exactly was going on, we then drove 7 hours to Charleston (my new home) through a bad storm. It’s been 8 years of trips to the dog parks, beaches, and long walks, and I’m starting to get a little gray under my chin, but I’m a good boy- my mom tells me so every day and backs it up with all the treats!
