My story

Hi there, I`m Darlin`,My name does fit me perfectly. I’m a gentle little soul with a heart as big as my puppy-dog eyes. Life hasn’t always been easy — I was a mama before, and now I’m finally getting the chance to just be a dog. No more babies to care for, just me, soft blankets, tasty treats, and hopefully… you. I get a little shy when I meet new people or pups — it’s not that I don’t want to be friends, I just need a minute to feel safe. Once I do? Watch out, because I become the biggest sweetheart you’ve ever met. I’ll lean into your lap, give you the softest eyes, and maybe even sneak a kiss or two. I do best meeting other doggos slowly — I just want to make sure they`re kind and gentle, like me. Please bring any potential doggy siblings you may have at home for me to meet before adoption. A calm buddy could really help me blossom! So if you`re patient, loving, and have a cozy spot on the couch waiting for someone like me… I think we might be a perfect match.**Thanks to BISSELL Pet Foundation, on October 11th, you can take me home for FREE!**No appointment necessary!Meet me at AAWL`s Main Shelter!25 N. 40th StPhoenix AZ 85034602-273-6852Adoption Hours:Monday - ClosedTuesday - Friday & Sunday - 11:30am - 6:00pmSaturday - 10:30am - 6:00pm.AAWL requires that all adopted dogs leave with a leash and collar and all cats leave in a carrier.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Darlin', please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
