Darya Labrador Retriever & Pit Bull Terrier Mix Bellingham, WA

Hi, my name is Darya!

Here is what would work best for me in my new home:

-Personality: Adventurous, curious, active

-Can Live with Kids: Older kids (16 years plus) who are dog-savvy may be okay! I am a very strong girl and may knock over small kiddos.

-Can Live with Cats: Not recommended, she would likely chase.

-Can Live with Dogs: Yes, Darya has done well meeting multiple dogs here at the shelter. An introduction would be done here at WHS to ensure everyone gets along!

-Can do Apartment Living: No, I can be a little loud when left alone and I also need lots of room to roam.

-Potty Trained: Seems to be.

-Bite History: None

-Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: Yes, 1 to 3 private lessons depending on adopters' experience.

-Energy Level: High!

-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Yes a spay.

-Additional Information: Darya is an energetic girl who is looking for her new forever adventure buddy. She arrived at the shelter as a stray so we don't know too much about her history. We do know that she loves her people and would benefit from having someone who doesn't have to be gone for too long during the day. Experience with separation anxiety would also be a plus as she can get a bit anxious when left alone. Darya would love to spend her days helping her person in the yard or going on long hikes, and then settling down with a nice chew toy or treat in the afternoon. Since Darya can be very excitable and strong willed, we are recommending she goes to a home with no cats so she can focus on getting settled. She has met a few different dogs here at the shelter and has enjoyed playing with them, so she could potentially live with another canine friend. If you'd like to meet Darya, please fill out an application to be reviewed!
