Darla

My story

PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.Meet Darla. This pretty girl was dumped back in April. We know she was dumped because some construction workers witnessed it. Sadly, Darla appeared to be a recent mama, but her puppies weren't dumped with her. So on top of the confusion of being dumped by the people she loved, she also had the added confusion of suddenly missing her babies. Darla is now in a foster home, healing from the emotional trauma she was forced to endure. Despite it all, Darla is loving and good natured. She is a little timid with new people/surroundings at first, understandably. Once she knows she is safe, she has SO much love to give. She is currently in a foster home with 2 kids, 3 cats, and 4 dogs, and she loves them all. She is very gentle with everyone and only wants to be loved. And she deserves it, after all she's been through. She is totally house trained and crate trained. She needs a little work on the leash. She doesn't pull on it, but its scary to her, so she pancakes. She just needs to build some confidence, and that will come. Darla is looking for a kind, understanding family who will help her build confidence and feel secure in her place in the family. She needs reassurance that she won't ever be abandoned again. She is fully vetted, about 2 years old, and weighs 37 lbs.Located in Arkansas, but transport is available.
