About Darla
Darla has made real progress since her tough beginnings, gradually finding the courage to show her affectionate side. She’s still shy in new situations but warms up with patience, rewarding those she trusts with gentle kisses and the occasional nose boop. Her natural tail wags are honest—she’s happiest when you greet her, especially if turkey treats are involved. Walks are her favorite: she moves at an easy pace, content to take in all the smells but never yanks on the leash. Darla enjoys spending time with her tiny Chihuahua friend and gets along well enough with other dogs, rarely paying much attention to them. When left alone, she usually naps and sometimes claims a shirt or two as comfort items for her bed. She loves her crate, seeing it as a safe retreat, and is consistently house trained. Darla’s still working through some nervous habits like barking at strangers or a small nervous pee when leashed, so a quieter home without frequent visitors will help her settle. While she doesn’t need another dog, having a calm companion could further boost her confidence. Darla thrives with people who move at her pace and offer a gentle hand. She’s a sweet, easygoing dog looking for a steady place to feel secure. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
