Darla's Story

Darla has come a long way from her rough past and is finally starting to blossom. She can still be a little hesitant and shy at times, but her wagging tail shows the happy girl she truly is inside. With patience and kindness, she&#39;s learned that people can be friends-going from being fearful to now offering sweet kisses and nose boops. Darla especially lights up for treats (turkey is her favorite!) and greets us with excitement whenever we walk through the door.<br/><br/>Energy Level?low<br/><br/>House trained?yes<br/><br/>Describe how they are on leash?she loves going on walks. she loves to sniff but doesn&#39;t pull, she&#39;ll trot along happily next to you<br/><br/>Describe how they are with other dogs?likes playing with the resident Chihuahua, doesn&#39;t seem bothered by other dogs she sees<br/><br/>Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they?doesn&#39;t show interest. not sure about cats but I&#39;m sure she wouldn&#39;t care<br/><br/>Commands they know?nothing really<br/><br/>What are their favorite things?going on walks and eating food<br/><br/>What do they need to work on?barking at people, peeing when we go to put the leash on (does a nervous small pee)<br/><br/>How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone?totally fine, just relaxes and sleeps. might steal some clothes and bring to her bed<br/><br/>Where do they sleep?in a large crate, she&#39;s very happy to run in and be in a safe space<br/><br/>What is their ideal home? Darla is a relatively easy to manage dog and doesn&#39;t need a lot of attention, but she would do great in a home that can give her time to get settled and that can work with her on her barking and small fears. She&#39;s a very sweet girl who&#39;s still nervous of new people so it would be good to be somewhere that doesn&#39;t have constant new people coming in and out. She doesn&#39;t need a dog companion but would probably benefit from having one that can show her people are OK and to keep her comfortable
