Darcie is estimated to be 2 years old, she weighs 46 lbs and we suspect she is a Staffie mix but of course given she is a rescue we cannot guarantee breed of birthday. We do know with confidence that she loves walks, fetch, and the very serious sport of playing in the water hose, which she surely considers helping with gardeing. She is affectionate with people and warms up quickly, greeting life with a full-body wiggle and an attentive and affectionate approach. She listens well, responds to verbal correction, and genuinely wants to understand what is being asked of her. When she gets very excited, her enthusiasm can turn into mouthiness, very natural for a dog her age, for now she would do best with older kids and a family who will help her keep practicing calm manners as she grows into an adult dog.

With other dogs, Darcie is friendly, playful, and very into the fun of play. She enjoys chase, body bumps, vocal play, and the kind of romping that says, “Yay! My new best friend!” She would love a playful dog with enough size that her playfulness will not be physically imposing. Darcie has a medium-energy play style and she does get a little vocal during play but it is all in good fun. She can be a bit eager on leash when she sees other dogs, but once introductions happen, her greetings are happy and wiggly. She also lives with cats and has done well around them, though she may try to play, so dog-savvy cats would be the best fit.

Darcie could do well in a home with a yard or an active apartment home where walks, playtime, and adventure are part of the routine. She is confident, social, affectionate, and wonderfully bright, with just enough goofy enthusiasm to keep her people smiling. For someone who wants a smart, lively, loving companion with a water-hose hobby and a heart full of wiggles, Darcie is ready to come home. Apply today!
