Frequently Asked Questions:
Thank you for stopping by and visiting with us! The Darlington County Humane Society, in its 11th year of operation has more recently seen some remarkable success at rehoming pets from this poor, rural county in central South Carolina. Originally with a euthanisia rate consistantly in the mid to high 90's, due to the tireless work of a growing volunteer base and dedicated shelter staff, our numbers are coming down but we still have a ways to go. The internet has done wonders in spreading the word about our pets in need and generous donors have literally saved countless lives. Our work however continues!
Below, please find some of our most commonly asked questions. Should you still have questions, please feel free to contact us at info@darlingtonhumane.com . We will look forward to hearing from you!
Adoptions
- How can I find out more about adoptions? We have a wonderful website that directly links you to our Petfinder page where you will find some of our available pets. We cannot post all of our pets as the influx is so tremendous. You can find information about our shelter, including hours of operation, telephone number, adoption fees, what is covered by the adoption fees, etc. by logging on to: www.darlingtonhumane.com.
- If I have questions about a pet, who do I call? Call the shelter directly (843-398-4402). The shelter does not have internet access and all email inquiries are handled off site by volunteers.

- Go to the shelter! It is imperative that you go to the shelter to look for your missing pet!

We recommend multiple trips as we take in pets every day.
