Darcy

Meet Darcy, a charming 7-year-old, 17-pound Schnauzer mix with a heart of gold. Darcy came into our care after her owner sadly passed away. After her world was turned upside down, Dogs In Need Organization (DINO) stepped in to give this sweet girl the second chance she truly deserves. She is currently thriving in a local foster home and is ready to find her permanent partner-in-crime.<br/><br/>Personality & Foster Life<br/><br/>• Human-Centered: Darcy absolutely adores her people and bonds incredibly fast, showing a particular fondness for female humans.<br/>• Great with Companions: She currently lives with three other dogs and does wonderfully with them. She can easily join a multi-dog home or reign supreme as the "queen of the castle" as a solo pet.<br/>• Adventure Ready: She is a phenomenal companion for outings. Darcy loves car rides and has impeccable manners when joining her humans for patio dining at restaurants.<br/>• Training Status: She is fully house-trained and crate-trained. She is currently working on polishing up her leash-walking skills.<br/><br/>Important Care & Home Requirements<br/><br/>Darcy has a few specific needs to ensure she stays safe, healthy, and happy:<br/>• Dietary Needs: She recently underwent successful surgery for bladder stones. To keep her healthy and prevent them from returning, she must stay on a strict, lifelong prescription diet.<br/>• Home Type: Darcy requires a detached, single-family home. Because she is a sensitive soul who may initially howl a bit when left alone as she acclimates, common-wall housing (like apartments or condos) is not a good fit.<br/>• Yard & Security: A securely fenced yard is mandatory. Darcy can be a bit of an escape artist, so her new family must ensure no "climbing launching pads" (like chairs or trash cans) are placed near the fence line. She also occasionally tries to test her crate boundaries.<br/>• Ideal Schedule: She needs a home where a family member is typically around during the day.<br/>• Feline & Kid Note: She will likely chase cats and has not been tested around children.<br/><br/>Adoption Details<br/><br/>• Location: Fostered in Southern California; families in the Orange County area are highly preferred. DINO does not transport dogs.<br/>• Adoption Fee: $450 (includes her spay, microchip, rabies vaccine, and core vaccinations).<br/>• How to Apply: Ready to give Darcy the loving home she deserves?
