About Darla

Meet Darla Blossom! Rescued from the euthanasia list along with her brother Alfalfa, this sweet girl is slowly revealing her charming personality each day. Though a bit shy, she’s quickly warming up. Darla loves her crate and is mastering leash skills, having not had an accident in the house since earlier this week. She's got the hang of her bathroom breaks during walks, too. Darla adores being around other dogs and people. She lights up with excitement whenever she sees them, even mistaking her own reflection for another furry friend. Playful and curious, she’ll venture out from her safe space, investigate her surroundings, and then sometimes retreat back to her cozy hideaway when things feel a bit overwhelming. Every day she grows more confident, and we can’t wait to see the playful pup she’s destined to be. Darla is looking for a forever family to continue her journey of growth. Ready to welcome this lovely girl into your home?
