About Dara

Dara is equal parts homebody and hilarious, the kind of companion who prefers pajamas and an early night to late evenings out. Living in a foster home, Dara has shown she’s a talented cuddler, happiest burrowed in bed and vocal about her bedtime routine—she’ll give a bark when snuggle hour arrives. She’s not a couch potato, though; Dara maintains a moderate energy level with surprise bursts of zoomies, enjoys her walks and hikes, and even helps hustle up the hills with some serious leash enthusiasm. Her trademark move? Rolling her sturdy self on her back in hopes of some quality belly rubs. Dara may be a little shy around new faces and unfamiliar places, but once she settles in, her goofy personality really comes out. Dara is crate-savvy, completely house trained, and estimated to be about 4 years old. While she prefers a quieter life, she does not get along with other dogs or cats, so she'd do best as your one-and-only pup. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
