Save Darlington Pets
Adults S-Z
(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.

Sanford - URGENT DUE TO TIME AT SHELTER - sponsored for adoption or $250 towards rescue pull fees
7/2/24 Intake: boxer mix, 50 lbs, 2 yrs old, male, HW+, stray. Sanford was brought in as a stray by the Hartsville Fire Dept. Happy boy! Did well for intake.
More about Sanford Dec 12, 2024: Hello, my name is Sanford! I used to have a home, but I couldn't stay there anymore. I miss having a family. So, my friend at the shelter helped me in her truck to go on a play date. I did my best to be the perfect co-pilot. I stayed in my own seat and helped her look both ways at stop signs. When we got there, she said I made her very proud, because even though I was nervous for a minute, I warmed up really quick and I made a lot of new friends. I met other boy dogs and girl dogs and even a tiny human who fed me his cookies! It was awesome, and everyone said I was really gentle. I was so sleepy on the ride back to my kennel that I fell asleep smiling with my head in her hand as she scratched my chin. If you might be my special forever family, it would make us both so happy, but I guess there are some important things you might want to know about me. First, you should know that I really like toys and I miss playing with them. If I could have a few at home I'd really like that. I think kitties are cool, but they don't really like me chasing them, so I probably wouldn't be a very good roommate for them. I'm about 2 and half years old and I weigh about 50 lbs. I like to take walks to stay in shape. If you're into labels, they say I'm an Am Staff/Boxer Mix, but I identify as a Carolina Couch Potato. Most importantly, daily snuggles and/or belly rubs are a necessity. I hope you ask about meeting me, because I’d love a new home for the holidays.

Smoke - Feb 2023 Intake - sponsored for rescue pull fees
2/27/23 Intake: 1 yr old, 55 lbs, terrier mix, male, HW+, owner surrender. Smoke was an owner surrender. Smoke is a VERY happy boy. He does walk well on a leash.
Foster Update Apr 12, 2024: Don't let the adorable factor fool you – Smoke, a special 2-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier mix, has a heart that shines brighter than the snow white "blaze" that adorns his face against his magnificent gray coat. While a neurological disorder gives him a unique, happy-go-lucky gait, Smoke's spirit is anything but unsteady. He delights in galloping across the yard, chasing toys, then enjoys a cuddle session on the couch. He doesn't mind sharing his space with other dogs and often looks to them to snuggle up, too, if they'll let him. Completely housebroken and crate-trained, Smoke adapts easily to his surroundings – a perfect quality for someone seeking a low-maintenance companion. Both of his fosters work full-time, and he has no issues waiting for them to get home without having any accidents. His wobbly walk might be his signature move, but Smoke's zest for life is what truly defines him. He's a dog who thrives on playtime, be it a rousing game of fetch or a refreshing dip in the kiddie pool! This charming dog with a heart of gold is ready to steal the heart of someone special – could it be you? Imagine the joy Smoke would bring to your life with his infectious enthusiasm and unwavering loyalty. We hope someone will choose him and love him the way the volunteers and his fosters have.

Vada
6/14/24 Intake: lab mix, 21 lbs, 1 yr old, female, HW+, stray. Vada is a 1-year-old female lab mix who was brought in by animal control along with her brother Thomas from Auburn School Road in Darlington. Vada did well during intake. Vada is heartworm positive.
Foster Update Aug 9, 2024: Vada came to the shelter scared and shaking. She did not trust anyone. When she came to our home to weather the storm, I did not expect how quickly she would blossom! In just two days she went from hiding in a crate to coming up to people for pets and reassurance. She met cats and did not bother them, walked through the house alone exploring, and slept in her crate through the night. Though she gets nervous if someone hovers, she’ll allow us to pick her up and also pet her. Her favorite hobbies so far are running around the yard as fast as possible and laying in mud puddles to cool off! The hound/pointer instincts show in the way she poses while listening and as she discovers her voice! She has only whined when in a messy crate and when she was not ready to go in for the night. Vada is not yet house trained and is learning what a leash is for. She is nervous about new sounds and unexpected movements. She likes to follow people around the house but will lay down in the crate on her own when she’s overwhelmed. Miss Vada is a sweet, small sized dog who desperately wants to interact with people. She needs time to adjust but will make a great companion!

Wells - in foster to save his life but still URGENTLY needs adoption/rescue
10/6/23 Intake: shepherd mix, 19 lbs, 4 mos old, male, stray.
More about Wells Feb 29, 2024: Wells made the most of his time in play groups, meeting and playing with several dogs. Mr. Fun has a unique roll on his back play style, happy to wrestle and roll or romp and roll. This teen pup is eager to find a family to love and would love having a canine playmate. Wells had a great time meeting everyone at the Tractor Supply adoption event. Eager to meet people, his tail was constantly wagging, and he happily gave out kisses. In his foster home he enjoys snuggling with his foster or the resident doggies. Foster Mom said, “He is so happy and his tail is always wagging. He loves playing and hanging out with my dogs. He would love to be in an active house with other dogs and older kids to play with. He has not had any accidents in his crate. Super sweet boy.”
*NEW* Foster Update Oct 15, 2024: “Because I’m Happy”, that’s me, Wells! Foster Mom says he’s the happiest dog in Darlington County. Wells is a 15 month young, 45lb, heart worm negative lab/terrier mix, a dazzling, handsome brindle boy. Mr Fun is super happy, and his tail is always wagging. Wells is house trained, crate trained, walks great on a leash, enjoys squeaky toys and chew bones, is dog friendly and adores human attention and belly rubs. Wells is a Velcro dog, he will keep you company in the kitchen while you do dishes and then when it’s TV time he’s right next to you for a good snuggle. If he feels you’re not giving him enough “Well’s time” he will jump up and gently grab your arm to insist you stop and give him some love. Experienced pet parents will understand he is not biting, just communicating his need for you, and calms down quickly. Wells has lots of puppy energy, his perfect home would include another younger, playful dog to run, chase and burn off some energy. Because of his youthful, playful nature no cats for Wells, no small children and he may not be a good fit for an elderly person. If you have another dog looking for a playmate he’s your boy!
