About Darla

Meet Darla, a sweet labrador-mix girl who’s ready to find her forever family. At just 9 months old and weighting around 49 pounds, she's a playful bundle of joy that gets along well with other dogs, cats, and people of all ages. Darla is fully house trained and does great in her kennel. She has good leash skills, but she’ll benefit from continued practice. Her ideal family will have the time and commitment to provide her with love, snuggles, and exercise. A fenced yard would be a nice bonus, but as long as she gets daily walks, visits to the dog park, or even doggy daycare, she will thrive. If you're searching for that missing piece to complete your family puzzle, Darla could be the one. Keep in mind, adopting a puppy means being prepared for their specific needs in the first year, so ensure everyone in your household is ready to pitch in on training and care. Darla’s adoption fee is $150 and covers her spay, vaccinations, wellness exam, heartworm test, and microchip. If you'd like to meet her, please fill out the adoption application soon!
