About Darla

Meet Darla! Darla is one of eight puppies eager to find her forever home. Her mother, Molly, is a 40-pound Pembroke Welsh Corgi and Border Collie mix, while her dad, confirmed by DNA testing, is a Golden Retriever. This delightful mix means Darla will grow into a loyal and intelligent companion. Currently at 10 pounds, she is expected to reach anywhere between 50 to 70 pounds as she matures. A playful spirit, Darla adores toys—especially when a game of tug is involved. Whether she's trotting around with her favorite toy or diving into a spirited tug of war, she can always bring a smile. A charming quirk of hers is how she likes to lay down while eating, showcasing her adorable personality even at mealtime. Darla is making great strides with housetraining. Like most puppies, she will need a family dedicated to her ongoing training, particularly in the first months. She'll require trips outside every four hours until she's older. As Darla will grow to be a larger dog, she'll need a securely fenced yard where she can romp and play safely. She'll be 10 weeks old on July 24, ready for her forever family. Before adoption, she will be spayed, microchipped, and receive her initial vaccinations. Her new family will be responsible for her booster shots as she matures. If you're in search of an affectionate puppy with a playful attitude and unique quirks to brighten your day, Darla is waiting for you! Adopters should live within a two-hour radius of Cedar Rapids, IA, with indoor homes a requirement. Adoption Fee: $400. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
