My name is Darla!

Meet Darla!
This sweet 2-year-old, 9-pound Chihuahua–terrier mix is a gentle little soul searching for a calm, cozy place to call home. Once Darla feels safe, she blossoms into a devoted cuddle bug who loves nothing more than curling up in a soft blanket and staying close to her person — truly a perfect lap companion.

Darla is crate trained and housebroken, and her quiet, easygoing nature makes her a wonderful fit for a peaceful household. While she can coexist with other calm, respectful dogs, she would likely be happiest as the only dog, where she can soak up all the love and attention.

This naturally mellow girl enjoys short, leisurely walks and walks nicely on a leash, but she’s just as content relaxing by your side at home. With her sweet temperament, gentle manners, and loving heart, Darla would be a beautiful addition to a patient, caring home that appreciates a calm and affectionate companion.

If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application  . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will send to the foster family to set up a meet!

The adoption fee of $400 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed!

*please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.
