Darla is a soft-hearted, gentle adult who’s working through her shy side and learning what real safety feels like. She arrived at the shelter as a stray, found a brief home, but it just wasn’t the right match. Now she’s waiting for the patient person willing to go at her pace. Darla can be cautious in new situations, but given a little time and kindness, her trust and affection shine through. When she feels safe, she’ll stick close, quietly sharing her calm presence. She’s social with dogs at the shelter and could coexist well with another pup given the right introduction, though she’d also love to be your only dog. If you appreciate relationships that deepen with patience, Darla is ready to find her lasting home. Click apply to start the adoption process.
