Darla

My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. //   Find our applications at www.midwestanimalrescue.orgAdoption Fee $450 plus tax Oh sweet, sweet Darla! I don’t think I have ever met such a sweet and happy puppy.  Darla was abandoned by her previous owner and was in her kennel for a week before anyone found her.  Despite that trauma she has been nothing but happy.  Her tail is always wagging, she is always up for playing, and she loves to give kisses and cuddles.  She gets along great with our other dog, who is six years old, and LOVES our five year old son.  She has been nothing but gentle and loving towards him even when they are wrestling.  I think she would do great with a family with children or other dogs. Darla would be a great adventure dog too.  We took Darla to our lake the other weekend and she was SOOOO excited to be in the water.  She loves swimming but needs a little work on her doggy paddle.  Good thing we had some help with a life vest.  She went after the water toy we threw for her, jumped off the dock, swam her little butt off all while throwing in some excited whines.  Not only is Darla a sweetie and a character she is house trained and kennel trained.  She lets us know when she wants to go outside by ringing a bell by our back door.  She picked this up on day ONE of being with us.  She can sit and stay and will wait to eat her food until told.  She does love walks, but could use some more guidance on her leash etiquette.  As she is super smart and easily trainable I have no doubt that she will be able to pick up those habits pretty fast and any other trainable items you may want to teach her.   Darla would love to find her forever home!
