Darlene Labrador Retriever Mix Wake Forest, NC

Sweet and pocket sized lab Darlene has blossomed like a gorgeous butterfly since her arrival at the farm but is just going to keep getting better and better with time and companionship! See Darlene, who is abt 2 years old and 20-25 lbs full grown, arrived to the farm with a friend and they had clearly never felt the kindness of a human hand, initially shying away from any kind of contact. Leaps and bounds this girl has become a lovely young lady who has been out on foster weekends, learned about baths clearly as her coat is shiny and growing more gorgeous by the day and wiggles her backside in a most adorable way when approached by a familiar face. Darlene has never lacked confidence in her ability to get aonng with other dogs and would be wonderful in a home with bigger confident dog to help pave the way. Darlene would be most at ease in a home without lots of toddler noises and play but would really adore to be with older children who relish snuggling while watching Utube or making slime on a Saturday afternoon. There is nothing demanding or presumptuous about this girl and she waits patiently for everything not to mention impeccable crate manners and nary a bark or a whine to be heard on any day of the week! We admit we are not really sure of Darlene's lineage but are sure that she looks like a lab in a compact and adorable package. That being said, Darlene will prove to be a unmatched companion in her loyalty and trust once her forever family shows the kindness of heart and patience of hand that a true family can bring!
