About

Meet Darla

Darla is her ARF name, but her most recent family was calling her Dolly Bird.  She recently finds herself back in an ARF foster home. She is an 18 month old female Cattle Dog/Bassett mix who weighs in at 44 pounds. She is sweet and affection, and also loves to run and play. She is house trained and okay to be left alone without crating. She is super soft and just needs an occasional brushing. Definitely a mixed breed. She is a bit of a low rider and loves to run and scamper. She rides well in the car. She has been spayed and microchipped and is ready for her new family. Her previous owner says she was beginning to show some resource guarding when other dogs came to visit. At this point, ARF feels she would do better in a home with no dogs. However, so far early on in her current place, she is getting along just fine with the other dogs in the home. Dolly knows her basic commands “sit”, “stay”, “shake” and is released with an “okay”. She is young and energetic and will do well with a back yard or a couple of good walks each day. She settles down perfectly inside and is happy to just be nearby whatever humans are around. Darla is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, housebroken and spayed.  Her new family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing. Darla's adoption fee is $375.  A meeting will not be scheduled until you have an approved application, so if you're interested in adopting Darla fill out an Online Application today! Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will contact you to arrange a meeting.
