Save Darlington Pets
Adults L-Q
(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.
Lauren - URGENT DUE TO TIME AT SHELTER
5/9/24 Intake: lab/shepherd mix, 41 lbs, 3 yrs old, female, HW+, stray. Lauren arrived with Layla. Both are very sweet girls. Both Heartworm positive.
More about Lauren Oct 8, 2024: Beautiful, friendly Lauren is in need of rescue or adoption. She arrived with friend Layla as a stray in May. Lauren is a 3 year old 41lb lab/shepherd? mix that is dog friendly, walks nicely on a leash, and loves volunteer attention. 😀SMILE😀 that’s Lauren, always smiling. She’s happy to give and get love from volunteers, her tail in constant motion. Lauren has met both male and female dogs in the play area and has done well. She loves rolling in the grass and scratching her back, living in the moment and taking advantage of her time out of her kennel. Such a beauty, with her smile, her ears, happy tail and beautiful markings, she’s sure to turn heads. Lauren hopes to find her family soon.

Lenny - April 2023 Intake
4/4/23 Intake: lab mix, 57 lbs, 2 yrs old, male, HW+, stray. Lenny was brought in as a stray by a community member. He needs reassurance in the loud shelter environment and needs to get used to the leash. His HW test was very light but positive.
Foster Update Nov 3, 2023: LENNY wants to meet you! He's in a foster home currently, but his foster family will be traveling for the holidays, and he may have to return to an outside kennel. Yikes! We certainly don't want that, because he is adoption ready--housebroken, neutered and microchipped! Lenny is a 2-3 yr old well-mannered boy who gets along great with other dogs and is patient with children. Currently in a foster home with two school-aged kids, he lets the youngest love on him and hug him all of the time, and he loves to run zoomies in the backyard with a ball. He walks well on a leash--even the kids can walk him in the neighborhood--and really enjoys long walks in the mornings and/or evenings. During the day, he lazes around the house while his foster mom works from home, following her around and only sitting when she sits. He is loyal, lovable, and longs for a forever home.
*NEW* Foster Update May 15, 2024: Lenny loves being around his people! He would do amazing with someone that could take him everywhere with them or is home a lot. Besides that, he's such a good boy! Laid back mostly, but is a wonderful protection dog as well. He loves meeting people and other dogs. We go on daily walks around the neighborhood, and kids will come up to him and pet him and love on him, and he's so gentle! The kids have actually nicknamed him Tiger because of his stripes. He's a big ole cuddle bug! He will let you lay all over him and kiss on him and doesn't move a muscle, so he would do well in a home with children. Lenny is the perfect combination of chill and active. He could adapt to any lifestyle, because he likes laying on the couch but also loves to be outside and on walks too. He has a foster dog brother, and they get along really well and love playing together, so he would also do well in a home with other animals. He's such a gentleman and anyone would fall in love with him!

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.

Loverboy
9/18/24 Intake: hound mix, 46 lbs, 1 yr old, male, HW-, stray. Loverboy was brought in by animal control from Hoffman Road in Hartsville. He did well for intake. His name should explain everything when you meet him. Loverboy is heartworm negative.
