Save Darlington Pets
Adults A-D
(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.

Paws Around the Pee Dee Event Oct 18, 2025: My name is Andy, and I'm ready to find my forever home. I'm a sweet, energetic, 1 year old, 34lb heart worm negative lab/terrier mix. I recently had an exciting Paws Around the Pee Dee adventure getting to explore a new world. I loved my car ride and got to walk around Hartsville, where I made lots of new friends and got to smell all the wonderful things life has to offer. I loved giving kisses and snuggling, and I got to hang out with kids! The family who took me out for the day had a hard time bringing me back to the shelter, but I'm learning new things every day and would thrive in a home that will give me plenty of love, exercise, and opportunities to sniff out new adventures. Having another doggy friend would be awesome. If you're looking for an energetic and loving companion to explore the world with, ask for me, Andy.
Field Trip Nov 1, 2025: Andy is so cute and a great size at 34lbs. He rides good in the car and walks on leash. He is energetic and playful at 1 year young but also calms nicely to rest in the shade. He loves meeting everyone and is good with kids and other dogs. He likes treats and is treat motivated for training. He aims to please his person! He's smart, curious, and sweet. He's heartworm negative too. It was hard to return him to the humane society. Go adopt him! He's ready for his family.

Blazer
8/14/25 Intake: lab mix, 50 lbs, 1 yr old, male, HW-, stray. Blazer was brought in as a stray by animal control from Field Pond Road in Darlington. He is heartworm negative.
Foster Update Sep 23, 2025: Yes, we know—every dog is described as "sweet." But with Blazer, it’s not just true—it’s his entire personality. Blazer came to us as a stray, carrying more than just scars—he had serious wounds on his back that needed urgent care. Through it all, he never stopped wagging his tail. No complaints. No fear. Just grateful brown eyes and a heart that wanted nothing more than to be loved. Even when in pain, Blazer was saying “thank you.” Now fully recovered (with some cool scars that only add to his character), Blazer is ready for his forever family. He’s just over a year old, about 50 pounds, and thinks he’s the perfect size for your lap. (He is not, but don’t tell him.) He’s the definition of eager-to-please. He came to us with some manners already and is doing great on a leash—though squirrels still test his resolve. Blazer is house-trained, crate-trained (he tucks himself in at night!), neutered, heartworm negative, and 100% treat-motivated. His temperament? In a word: chill. This gentle boy lets a 10-pound poodle share his food bowl. He’s thrilled to see our 8-year-old granddaughter but may be a bit too boisterous for toddlers—he’s got a big heart and a bigger body.
What will you get if you adopt Blazer? A soft-eyed, big baby who looks at you like you’re the center of his universe—and who’ll spend his life trying to prove it. Adopt Blazer if you’re ready for a lifetime of love, loyalty, and (yes) over-the-top sweetness.

Blythe had a great time during her Paws Around the Pee Dee field trip with a family! Blythe’s handlers said “She is an absolutely incredible dog, like truly. She would truly do so good with kids. She wouldn't leave until all of the kids were in front of her. She is going to make someone incredibly happy.” Blythe needed to be carried near the end of her field trip, tired from all the excitement and kiddo interaction. She needs a little lift in and out of the car with those cute short legs, but once she's in, she rides like a dream! She just needs a quick run to burn off that initial excitement, then she's a good leash walker. Volunteers mention Blythe gives out great hugs, takes treats gently, and is such a sweet girl. If you’re looking for a cuddly couch potato ask for Blythe! She will make an awesome companion. Located in Hartsville SC ask for her today!

Bubba would thrive with an active family…whether that means hiking, strolling through the neighborhood, playing in the yard, or splashing in a kiddie pool. (Bonus points if you have a pool or lake nearby, he loves the water!) On his Paws Around the PeeDee outing, Bubba showed just how friendly and fun-loving he is.
