My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


Meet Darla – Your High-Energy Best Friend

Personality: Energetic, Smart, Affectionate & Independent
House Trained: Yes!
Dogs: Selective. Meet and Greet Needed
Kids: 12+
Cats: No thanks

Get ready to meet Darla – a high-octane bundle of fun with a zest for life and a heart full of love! This German Shepherd mix is bursting with energy and personality. Whether she’s chasing after balls, splashing in the pool, or zooming around the yard, Darla is always on the go and loving it.

Darla is super smart and thrives in a home that can give her plenty of enrichment and mental stimulation. Puzzle toys, agility games, fetch marathons—you name it, she’s down! She’s still learning her manners but is potty trained and eager to please, making her a great candidate for continued training with an experienced or patient owner.
She has a sweet, snuggly side and enjoys downtime with her people—but she also values her independence. Darla is looking for an active home that can keep up with her spirit, support her training journey, and give her the love (and tennis balls) she deserves.
