Darla

Darla / F / 10Y / 8lbs / Shih Tzu mix / Fostered in Toronto<br/><br/>Darla wasted no time making herself at home, and whoever adopts her will quickly understand why — this girl is adorable, sweet, calm, and just the right amount of sassy.<br/><br/>Life with Darla: morning and evening walks where she trots along happily, completely focused on every glorious smell (her leash manners are perfection), followed by a well-deserved snooze on the couch — or wherever the sunshine happens to be. Darla is a certified sunbeam chaser, and if there's a warm patch of light anywhere in the house, she will find it! ☀️<br/><br/>She is independent, brave, and totally unbothered by the world around her. She hardly ever barks, isn't reactive on leash, and has met over 15 new people without batting an eye. Fearless is her middle name!<br/><br/>Darla is:<br/>✅ Nearly fully potty-trained (uses pee pads only occasionally)<br/>✅ Trusted to free roam — no crate needed<br/>✅ Great with dogs, cats, and kids<br/>✅ A dream in the car (quiet as a mouse in her carrier)<br/>✅ Calm and relaxed — with fun bursts of energy on walks!<br/><br/>Darla does have a grade 3 heart murmur but is doing well and currently requires no medication. She had a dental while in our care and had 7 teeth removed.<br/><br/>Her ideal home is someone who's around most of the time and is fully on board with a couch-and-bed co-sleeping arrangement — because Darla will absolutely be joining you. 🛋️<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting Darla, please complete an adoption application on our website.
