Darcy is a two-year-old yellow Labrador mix with a true mystery for an origin story. She came from a municipal shelter but settled quickly into foster care, eager for the next adventure. Potty trained with a dog door and crate trained (though she'd rather not spend all day in there), Darcy shines in an active home—walks, hikes, and car rides top her list of favorites. She identifies as a lap dog, craves affection, and is happiest surrounded by children, even the littlest toddlers. Outdoorsy and athletic, Darcy is strong on leash and still refining her walking manners. Chew toys are her jam. She’s calm in thunderstorms but startles at sudden unfamiliar noises. True to her protective instincts, Darcy barks at strangers at the door and is initially wary of new visitors—especially men. She prefers a slow, careful introduction to other dogs but can eventually get comfortable. Cats, though, are not her thing. Darcy's ideal home has a yard (no shared walls), and she's dreaming of a single woman with kids to bond with. It takes her time to build courage, but her loyalty runs deep. Her adoption fee is $250, and she is fully vetted and spayed. Darcy is in Fort Worth, TX. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
