Give Sloan A Home – Aiken Animal Shelter
How about we give Sloan a home? He’s just arrived at the shelter and everyone already loves him.
He’s super loving, playful and happy. When he got to the shelter he was not that way, he was a little scared. He loves people. He does get along with some dogs better than others, and meeting with any existing pet is required before he’s adopted.
Sloan is three years old, and weighs fifty-one pounds. He’s housetrained, microchipped, vaccinated, and heartworm-negative. He’s a great guy!
The Aiken Animal Shelter is located at 333 Wire Road, Aiken, SC. E-mail info@fotasaiken.org to arrange a meet and greet with Sloan. Walk-In’s are welcomed from 11am – 4pm.
Let’s give Sloan a home. The shelter is full and his need for adoption is urgent.

Most Popular Dog Breed - A New Top Dog
5. Poodles
According to the AKC, Poodles are the national dog of France, but the breed actually originated in Germany. They were bred as hunting dogs, as the breed name comes from the German word “pudel” or “pudelin”, meaning “to splash in the water.”
They are known for their stylish look, and are athletic, eager, and intelligent.

German shepherds are extremely intelligent and very protective of those they love. They are known for being fearless and confident. Another great thing about the breed is their love and loyalty. These dogs make great service animals and police dogs. They are working dogs, and are eager to please.

3. Golden Retrievers
Golden Retrievers are a popular family pet. They are known for their love and devotion. These dogs are very active and need a lot of exercise. Golden Retrievers are a hard-working breed, and have been used for hunting, tracking, rescue and service work. They can be playful and goofy, but with the right training, they can master a wide variety of skills. This breed also loves to eat… and not just their food! Anything they find could be a treat to them.

2. Labrador Retrievers
Labrador Retrievers share a lot of traits with Golden Retrievers. They are affectionate and energetic. They make great family dogs, but can also be hard-workers when it comes to hunting, service work, search and rescue, therapy work, and more. Labs also LOVE the water, and were made for it with their thick tail and webbed feet. They also have thick coats to help even in really cold water. Labs are very energetic, and need plenty of exercise. Training and obedience classes can help tremendously and show their “eager-to-please, intelligent demeanor.”
Labrador Retrievers are usually one of three colors: yellow, black, or chocolate. However, I have seen what people call “silver labs” (maybe a mix of yellow and black lab?) and “red labs” (perhaps a mix of chocolate and yellow?)

1. French Bulldogs
French Bulldogs are popular small-breed dogs. They resemble a Bulldog, but in smaller form, and with larger, erect “bat ears.” The Frenchie, as they are often called, is known to be playful, alert, and adaptable. They aren’t known to bark a lot, but they are very alert, making them good watchdogs. Frenchies are bright and affectionate, and can easily adapt to life with a single person, a couple, or even a family.
