About Darcy

Darcy is a charming one-year-old Chihuahua Terrier mix, weighing in at just 11 pounds. This little girl has a sweet temperament and gets along wonderfully with both humans and other animals, including cats and dogs. Though she can be a bit shy initially, once she feels secure, her affectionate side shines through. Darcy is perfect for leisurely walks as she walks nicely on a leash, but she's just as happy to curl up on the couch for a cozy cuddle session. While all dogs in our care are kennel-trained, we can't always confirm full housebreaking status. However, Darcy has the potential to adapt quickly and can become housebroken with some patience and love. If you think you can provide a wonderful home for Darcy, please consider filling out an adoption application. Doing so will give you the best chance to welcome this adorable pup into your family.
