Darby

Hi, my name is Darby! I'm a PURPLE pawprint, which means I will fit well into a home that meets some specific criteria. Here is what would work best for me in my new home: -Personality: Caring, snuggly, a bit shy -Can Live with Kids: Unknown history with kids so we are requiring kids be at least 12 years and older. -Can Live with Cats: Unknown history with cats so we recommend a very slow and supervised introduction process if introducing to any feline friends. -Can Live with Dogs: Darby seems to be a little under-socialized with dogs at this time. She has a strong personality and is very people oriented - would prefer to be the only dog in the household at this time. -Can do Apartment Living: Possibly with plenty of physical and mental stimulation. She is a larger girl however so please keep size requirements in mind if you rent. -Potty Trained: Seems to be. -Bite History: No -Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: Yes, one private lesson is required. -Energy Level: Moderate -Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Yes a spay/MC Darby is a sweet girl who arrived to the shelter as a stray. Her history is unknown, but she has made a lot of friends here at the shelter and is excited to find a loving forever home. It took Darby a couple of days to adjust to shelter life and it may take her a bit to adjust to a new home. It seems she is comforted by baby talk and snacks. A consistent schedule will also help Darby adjust to her new life, and she would also prefer to not be left alone for too long. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website (www.whatcomhumane.org/adopt) or in person at our facility. We recommend calling into the shelter after your application has been submitted so our front desk can give you next steps on our adoption process.
