Darby

My story

Meet Darby - The Couch King with a Heart of Gold! Darby is a strong, silly, and soulful pup with a serious love for very hard chew toys-only the toughest of the tough will survive his jaws. When he's not working on destroying his favorite toy, he's likely lounging on the couch in the spot he's claimed as his own. Dog social? Extremely. He thrives around other dogs and has no hesitation coming inside when he sees his canine buddies heading in too. Solo missions? A little trickier-if he's by himself, coming indoors is hit or miss. He definitely does things on Darby time. With people, Darby is selective. He barks-loudly and persistently-at those he doesn't know. But he's not aggressive; he's just sizing you up. He'll accept treats and even allow some pets from someone he's unsure about, all while locking you in a deep stare that feels like he's reading your soul. He's vocal when he wants out, and excited about food, though he's not entirely food motivated. Important Note: Darby is a flight risk. He'll need a secure home and yard with extra care taken at doors and gates-he's not one to wander off, he's one to bolt if given the chance. Darby's looking for a patient, experienced adopter who understands that trust takes time-and is willing to go at his pace. Once he lets you in, he's loyal, loving, and endlessly entertaining. Think you might be his person? Darby's waiting (probably on the couch).
