About Darrow

Darrow is a sweet red heeler mix, possibly with a touch of corgi. He came to the shelter from a local rescue on August 7, 2026. At around 6-7 years old, he has spent most of his life outdoors after being abandoned when his owners moved. Despite this, he’s friendly, affectionate, and eager to please. He thrives on routine and both companionship and exercise, so a home with some familiarity about herding breeds would be ideal for him. Darrow has a calm demeanor and adapts well to new situations, although he may need some basic training as he adjusts. He generally gets along with other well-mannered dogs and would do best with kids over 5 years old. While he's still uncertain in some situations due to his past, his love for people shines through.
