Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Darla is an absolute darling. Her expression is one of complete love and trust. She's fantastic with other dogs and playful, yet not over the top about it. :)
She is a young dog at about 2 years old (estimate) and came to the shelter when her owner was no longer capable of caring for the dogs. Darla previously loved with a senior Husky mix.
Thank you for your interest in adopting! If you think the animal in this profile might be a good fit for your home and would like to meet them, here's how!

Additional questions...
Does this dog get along with cats?
There is almost always an acclimation period when a new pet joins the household. We are happy to suggest a few ways to ease the transition. If one of our dogs is reported to have lived with cats previously, that will be indicated in the dog's description!
Does this dog react well to other dogs?
No dog loves every other dog, just as humans do not like every other human they meet. A proper introduction (meet and greet) would be required as part of our application process.
Is this dog good with children?
The better question is how the children have been taught to handle animals. A dog will respond negatively if he/she is not being handled properly. We can offer suggestions on how to teach children to interact with dogs and pay attention to body language. Young children should never be left unsupervised with new dogs.
How did this dog end up in a shelter?
The top reasons dogs are given up are:
Moving without considering the needs of the pets
Death of the owner with no plan in place for the pets
Previous owner did not provide appropriate training
Owner did not consider the lifespan of a dog
Owner did not consider the cost of providing for a dog
