Furry Friends Friday - Matteo & Malachi
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - Matteo and Malachi are 2-month-old Boykin Spaniel/Jack Russell Terrier mix puppies up for adoption at Pawmetto Lifeline. A man’s dogs had an “accidental” litter of 8 puppies. He brought all 8 puppies to a very overcrowded municipal shelter right before Tropical Storm Debby hit. This shelter was struggling with providing proper care, staffing and resources for the animals already in their care. Still, the man threatened to dump them in the storm unless the shelter took them in.
