About Darcy

Darcy is a lovable goofball who brings nothing but joy into a room. She might look like a stocky little meatball, but she's light on her feet when it comes to playtime—and will win you over with her delightfully quirky underbite. Estimated around 2–3 years old and weighing about 39 lbs, Darcy has the classic mixed-bulldog charm: social, silly, and completely devoted to her people. Her favorite thing in the world is to lounge right alongside the family, but she’s always ready for bursts of fun and goofiness. Darcy is at ease with other dogs, adores children, and—even as a former stray—just wants to love and be loved. She hasn’t met any cats yet, but stays relaxed around farm animals. Basic potty training is still a work in progress, though she’s eager to learn and please.

Darcy is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on core vaccinations, including rabies and Bordetella, with just one more vaccine to be completed soon. She’s also protected with monthly preventatives.
