KNOWN WITH DOGS: Darla does just fine with other dogs. She came from a home with multiple dogs before she came to Homeward Trails.

KNOWN WITH CATS: We do not currently know how she is with cats. If that is needed, let us know and we'll work on getting that information!

KNOWN WITH KIDS: We don't know how Darla is with children. She is a little shy and may be startled by unpredictability and fast movements

KNOWN COMMANDS: Darla knows "sit" and is working on other commands.

KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: Darla is house trained. She is happy to nap in her crate but is not happy to be in a closed crate. She seems to have a bit of confinement anxiety.

KNOWN LIKES: Treats in her crate, well, really treats a lot of places. And humans who give her a little time to get comfortable with them. She really wants to be a lap dog.

KNOWN DISLIKES: People who move too quickly with her.

ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:

Darla is a very sweet little dog who wants to be with her humans and loves to be in her humans' lap. She is a bit shy but warms up quickly. We are so pleased at the progress she's made in the short time she's been in a foster home. She's really blossoming.

Darla is a young and affectionate and playful once she's comfortable. Which really doesn't take too much time. She is eager to find her forever home. She would be fine as an only dog with a patient person and would also be very happy living in a home with a canine playmate. Darla has gotten so much more comfortable on walks and adventures on leash. Still she would love a home with a yard. She is so athletic. She'd be a champ at agility.
