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.
Lashae
6/17/25 Intake: terrier mix, 42 lbs, 1 yr old, female, abandoned. Lashae was brought in as a stray by a community member after being found abandoned at a houseon Buckholts Creek Rd in Society Hill.

Leon - June 2024 Intake
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.

Foster Update Oct 24, 2024: Meet Marlin, a 1 1/2 to 2 year old 34lb heart worm positive terrier mix is currently in foster and available for rescue or adoption. 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 Jan 18, 2025: Moore arrived to our home as a stray. We couldn't believe that such a great boy was on his own. Someone loved him before, because he is an awesome dog that was already familiar with being in a home. He adores his humans and plays well with our dogs. He walks good on leash. He keeps his crate tidy. He's fine around our dog savvy cats--if they run he will chase in fun--and he will share a nap outside in the sun with the cats. Moore is very sweet and loves the attention of his humans. He would be fine in a home with or without other dogs--as long as he has his humans he is content. He immediately rolls over for belly rubs. He has a lovely soft black and white coat that doesn't shed. He's fully vetted including his neuter, just 1 year young, heartworm negative and 58.8lbs. He's ready to go HOME!

Petunia
8/15/24 Intake: cane corso/boxer mix, 43 lbs, 3 yrs old, female, HW+, stray. Petunia was brought in as a stray off of Chasity Lane in Darlington. She did well for intake. Such a sweet girl. She is heartworm positive.
Foster Update Dec 21, 2024: Much like the beautiful flower, Petunia is beginning to thrive and blossom since she's been in our care. She gave birth to two little pups at DCHS on August 18th. One of the pups did not survive but one little boy, Prince, grew strong as she took very good care of him. He already left for rescue. Petunia has been in foster care with one of our wonderful foster mom's since she arrived at our animal shelter. Her foster mom shares that Petunia is an excellent house guest and has been a joy to have around. She has never had an accident inside and gets along well with all the resident dogs and kitties. We don't know about her history, as she is listed as a stray on her intake, but you can tell that her life before us was not good and someone was not kind to her. She is very quiet and gentle and tries to make herself small so as not to be a bother. She gets spooked with loud noises and some new experiences. Her foster mom has been doing a great job of reassuring her in those moments and she is getting more comfortable. She loves to be petted and kissed and loves her fluffy bed and soft blanket that her foster mom has for her. Her foster said that she feeds her separately on a special rug from the other pets, because if they approach her food bowl, she will just back away and let them have her food. She said this one doesn't have an aggressive bone in her body. She has even begun giving her foster mom some play bows and sweet barks as she enjoys some outside time in the mornings. She wags her tail when she's on a walk with her mom and is excellent on the leash. One of the resident dogs is a senior with a similar activity level. They have become good friends, and she has been a good help to Petunia. She is estimated to be 3 1/2 years old and is currently around 55 lbs. Her coat is short and soft and she has the cutest little underbite! Good food and some extra TLC has helped her to recover from her previous life, and she is thriving with renewed health. She is heartworm positive but has not shown any issues from coughing. At her age, she should come through the treatment well. We are all hopeful for a great new chapter for this super sweet girl!

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.
*NEW* Foster Update Feb 3, 2025: Ruby is an owner surrender who has been with me for a while now. She never stayed at the shelter and came home with me to foster at intake. She was an inside girl with her former family. She doesn't do well with cats, so we have had to keep her outside with us. She is a strong girl who doesn't always realize just how strong she is. I have had her at a few adoption events and she always did well. I would be careful with her around small children as she gets excited and might knock them over. She walks well on the leash and loves to go on walks. She rides well in the car out of the crate. She gets along with others but is more of a people dog rather than needing a canine buddy. She loves her toys and loves nothing more than to play fetch. She will bring it back to me but seems to enjoy showing me just how strong she is by not letting me have the toy. We remedy that by having two toys. She is a good girl, and I would love to find a better situation for her than what I can give her.
