About Darla

Meet Darla! This 5-month-old Heeler mix is a sweet soul waiting to flourish. Though she may be a bit timid in new situations, each day she becomes more confident and her delightful personality starts to shine. Darla thrives with canine companionship. Having other dogs around has helped her feel more at ease, so a home with a friendly, confident dog would be ideal. She needs a family prepared to offer her patience, allowing her to build trust at her own speed. Given her interest in cats, and based on her Heeler background, a cat-free home might be best for her, although we can't predict how she'd settle into that sort of environment. Darla is spayed, up to date on her vaccinations, microchipped, and protected against fleas, ticks, and heartworms. With gentle support and encouragement, this sweet girl is sure to grow into a lovely lifelong friend. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
