Save Darlington Pets
Adults L-R
(1+ Yrs.)
When more dogs arrive than we can get out in a timely manner, our longest residents become URGENT. Often these are larger breed dogs that we adore but have simply been at the shelter too long with little to no interest from rescues, adopters, or fosters. When dogs are marked urgent, we could lose them at any time with little to no notice.

Leila
8/26/24 Intake: terrier mix, 43 lbs, 2 yrs old, female, HW+, stray. Leila and her pups (Lx4) came in together as strays.
More about Leila Nov 21, 2024: LEILA, 2 year old, 42lb heart worm positive terrier mix is ready for rescue or adoption. Arriving in August with 4 pups, she did a great job raising her family, who have gone on to homes of their own. Leila is a spunky gal. She adores playing with other dogs and would welcome having a like minded doggy friend to spend her days with. She is a beautiful black and white, affectionate, smiley faced sweetie who deserves a family of her own. Looking at Leila’s videos you can see she’s a younger Mom who has plenty of spunk and happily engaged with both Chandler and Isabella. Chandler’s play style was a match for her, lots of good natured romping. Isabella preferred to roll on the ground and let Leila try to coax her to get up and play. Leila, after trying to convince her to get up, decided she’d just get down on Isabella’s level to continue the fun. Who can help this pretty girl?

Leon
6/13/24 Intake: lab mix, 32 lbs, 1 yr old, male, HW-, stray. Leon, 1-year-old lab mix, was brought in by animal control after being found on Stanley Circle in Darlington. He has been gradually warming up to the staff. Additionally, Leon tested negative for heartworms.
Foster Update Aug 4, 2024: Leon needs some TLC. I'm learning more about him every day. He did slip his collar and got away from me, but he has stayed in my yard. He loves to play with all my dogs. He became spooked by one of my dogs and ran away, yelping with his tail between his legs. Another 1 of my dogs inadvertently smacked him in the face with her tail. He yelped and jumped back. He is very tender hearted. He will need a slow hand and another calm confident dog to help him feel safe. My greatest fear is that he will be lost by a foster or an adopter who does not know how to manage a fearful dog. He is cute as a button, weighing in right at 30 pounds.

He’s met several dogs in play groups and has several doggy foster siblings. He’s dog friendly and has the best smile🙂. He arrived as a stray in early June and luckily caught the eye of one of our wonderful fosters. A one night sleep over before the Panting for Paws 5k event has turned into a longer stay for Marlin. His foster Mom said “Marlin made fast friends with all my male and female dogs. He shared toys and treats nicely, had no accidents in the house, and did fantastic when crated. He went to the Panting for Paws 5k, Purrs McBarkin', and the rail trail. He met all kinds new friends, even some toddlers that he was very gentle with. He was just loving all the attention! Marlin is a very affectionate boy and would try to climb into the laps of anyone who would sit with him. He's a super gentle treat-taker, although he is choosey about what treats he will eat. He's just a connoisseur of finer foods. He also loves riding in the car. He hasn't figured out how to load up on his own, but he isn't much of a jumper. Once he's in there, he just lays down and enjoys the ride. He unloads just fine on his own, ready to get out and start a new adventure. He has gotten so much better walking on a leash, but occasionally needs some encouragement in new places. A little love and a person to snuggle him is all he wants”. You can see Marlin blossom in his videos, from an unsure boy to a super happy dog making fast friends.

Foster Update Apr 2, 2024: Hi! My name is Quinn! I am looking for my furever family. I love to play outside. I can run really fast and I jump around like a kangaroo. I’m also a home body and love to lay around in my doggy bed. My favorite place to be scratched is my belly. I love to be petted and will melt into you as you rub my head. When you pet my head, I will stare into you eyes and you feel your heart melt with love ❤️. I am a very good girl. I can be left out of my crate all night and won’t tear up anything. I eat all of my meals in my crate. I have 3 foster brothers that I live with; 2 dog brothers that are the same size as me. We love to run and play in the back yard together. I have 1 kitty brother that I try to play with, but he doesn’t want to play. I’ve jumped on him a few times to try to get him to play, but he hissed at me and that let me know he didn’t want to play. I’ve met other cats and just sniffed at them in passing. My request for my future family would be to have a big yard that I can run and play in, a comfy doggy bed for me to lay in, lots of bones and toys for me to chew on, super belly rubs, and maybe a friend to play with. Please take me to my furever home!!

Ruby aka Judy - July 2022 Intake
7/28/22 Intake: terrier mix, 56 lbs, 2 yrs old, female, HW-, owner surrender. Previously lived inside with a chihuahua. Reportedly good with kids and other dogs. No cats for her please.
Foster Update Mar 22, 2024: Ruby is a youthful, 4-5 year old, female Plott Hound/Lab mix. She was an owner surrender when her family had to relocate and could not take her with them. She was spayed prior to arrival and is heartworm negative. She is an athletic girl and loves to run and be with her person. She loves a good game of catch, but you must use two toys when you do. She also loves nothing more than a toy that squeaks! She has tested well with other dogs, but has shown me she is just as happy being on her own. She doesn't really engage in play with others, but is content sharing her space. She really prefers to be with her person. It sometimes takes her a moment to adjust with introductions with new people or new dogs. When I show her she is safe, she is fine. Cats are a definite no for this girl. She was in a home with a small chihuahua and I was told they got along well. She rides well in my car uncrated. She loves going for walks and does pretty well on the leash. She is very smart and doesn't miss much going on around her. Sturdier children would probably be best for her, because she doesn't always realize her size. I want nothing more than a great home for her. She certainly deserves it, and I know she wants it for herself. She has a lot of love to give.
