F A V O R I T E S

Huck –

Chesapeake Bay retriever

Owner – Sindy Orvig

The CBR breed is unique in that it was the first

individual retriever breed to be recognized by

the AKC in 1878. I've only ever seen three other

CBRs in South Carolina. Huck loves all things

CBRs are known for: hunting, swimming, pro-

tecting his family and EATING EVERTHING.

Born in McClellanville and raised in Mount

Pleasant, Huck has traveled to 11 states with me.

Wilma –

Great Dane

Owner – Rachel Campbell

My husband and I had just started talk-

ing about getting another dog when we

saw Wilma's picture on

We weren't quite ready at that time,

so we decided to revisit when we got

back from our vacation in October

2014. Three days after getting back,

Wilma's foster mom walked into Indigo

Creek Pet Supplies (my place of work), and I couldn't ignore that coincidence.

Within the month, we started the process of adoption, and she hit it off with

our other dog, Jethro. Wilma quickly became a mascot for the store and has

quite the fan club now. We go out in public and people will recognize her and

say, "Oh look. It's the dog from Indigo Creek!" Wilma is unique because she

came through a rescue for Great Danes through no fault of her own. She had

gone from lonely dog forgotten about in the backyard at someone's house to a

full-time dog food connoisseur at the pet supply store. She is amazingly sweet

and patient with children, very calm-natured and is quite a trooper on our

camping and hiking trips.
