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.

He appreciates even the littlest gesture, such as a kind word or pet and a big smile. It makes his eyes sparkle.” Located in Hartsville SC, ask for him.
Volunteer Input Sep 22, 2025: One of our volunteers said “I got to meet Hemsworth today while volunteering at the animal shelter, and I absolutely mean I GOT to meet him, as in, it was a privilege to meet him. I couldn’t take my eyes off of him. I think I got all of the first date feels. First I only knew his name, then I saw him and he saw me, I smiled… he smiled, a little flicker of “ooooh I want to get to know you.” I started to feel schmoozed with his hilarious demeanor- he thought he wanted to play with this other dog but only like 60% of the other dog, or whatever the percentage is for just the part of playing where he gets to lay on the ground and flop over a couple of times and then be done. We were totally in strong like when we hung out on the grass together - interrupted with maybe some jealousy as I saw Hemsworth in the lap of the another lady but the heart wants what the heart wants…I found myself totally loving Hemsworth as we finished up our volunteer time, and he’s just laying in front of the fan patiently waiting for someone to notice him. Hemsworth doesn’t want to be the one that got away; he’s at the shelter just waiting for you to come get him! Please ask about our boy, Hemsworth.” This sweetie needs you!
