About Darcy

Meet Darcy! This adorable little terrier has charming “cat ears,” a sassy tail, and a delightful personality that emerges as she settles in. Darcy is a shy girl who is still discovering that people and new experiences can be safe. She enjoys being around her humans, often napping nearby, but she's cautious about being touched. While she’s okay with being leashed for walks, her new family should respect her boundaries and allow physical affection to develop at her own pace. Darcy needs a home with at least one friendly, playful dog. Having a confident canine buddy helps her feel secure, shows her the ropes, and provides companionship. With another dog, you’ll witness her fun and happy side, which is a joy to see. She absolutely loves walks and takes her sniffing duties seriously. However, be mindful that she has a bit of a prey drive and may chase after squirrels or rustling leaves. Darcy is a quirky little dog eager to be part of a family—just with some time and patience needed for hands-on affection. With respect for her space and a good dog friend, she has the potential to flourish. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
