Darla is very gentle and the SWEETEST!!

Unfortunately, she was living in deplorable conditions very pregnant with her sister dog and her 5 newborn puppies.
We got the call that all 7 needed an immediate home. The roads were snowy and icy, but we jumped in the car and went to get them.

Darla was an amazing mom! All puppies have been adopted, so it is now her time to be PAMPERED!

She is healthy, full of life, and appreciative for every moment with us!

She is a little over a year old, and LOVES AFFECTION!
LOOK AT THOSE ADORABLE EARS!

If you're looking for a companion for kids and other pets, she will be your dream pup!
