About Darla

Meet Darla! This baby English Bulldog arrived into the world right inside the shelter, born to her mama Prada. Just 6 weeks old, she still has all the irresistible puppy sweetness and is getting her start in a safe place. Her black and cream coat is soft and short, easy to care for as she grows. Darla is not yet house trained and will need the basics as she transitions to a new home, but that's all part of raising a puppy. She's still too young to be spayed or vaccinated, but this is common at her age and will be handled as she gets a little bigger. Darla will be available for adoption after June 17th, 2026. She’s a Taurus, which means she’s likely to be steadfast and gentle as she grows up. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
