Darla (aka Dumbo)

🐾 Meet Darla! 💕

Darla is an energetic, fun-loving girl with a huge personality and an even bigger heart! At just over 2 years old and 49.7 pounds, she’s playful, smart, eager to learn, and always ready for some attention—especially belly rubs! 🥰

Darla loves toys, treats, and every second she gets to spend outside in the yard. She’s been working hard on her training and is already showing us just how smart she is!

🐾 Knows sit and lay down 🐾 Working on her stay command 🐾 Working on her leash manners 🐾 Does awesome with tactile handling—she’s completely unfazed by having her ears, paws, and tail touched 🐾 Very treat-motivated and learning quickly 🐾 And did we mention she LOVES belly rubs? ❤️And she loves the water!!!

✨ Spayed ✨ Microchipped ✨ Heartworm negative

Darla has been waiting over 240 days for someone to see all the potential we see in her. She has plenty of energy and would thrive with a family willing to give her the exercise, structure, patience, and continued training she needs.

Some of you may remember Darla by her former name, Dumbo. That name was chosen through our Gala naming fundraiser shortly after she arrived at the shelter—but as we got to know her, we realized it just didn’t fit her personality.

This girl is no dummy! 😂 She’s smart, attentive, and picking up new commands quickly, so Darla felt much more like her. 💕

She isn’t looking for a perfect home—just someone willing to invest a little time in her, love her, and give her the chance to become the incredible companion we know she can be.

After 240+ days of waiting, could Darla finally be the girl you choose? 🐾❤️
