Hi, I'm Darla I'm a beautiful German Shepherd with a soft heart and gentle soul. I was rescued from a very sad breeding situation in Texas that was shut down by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Thankfully, more than 100 of us were saved, and Big Dog Ranch Rescue helped me begin my new life. I'm super shy and still learning that the world can be kind. New people and places can feel a little scary at first, but with patience and gentle love, I slowly start to blossom Once I trust you, I'll be your quiet, loyal companion. I would do best in a home with a calm male dog - I feel most comfortable and confident with a sweet boy by my side With time, love, and understanding, I'll show you just how special a shy girl like me can be.
