Darling

Meet Darling! A spirited eight-year-old German Shepherd Mix from Crystal River, FL, whose essence is a vibrant burst of joy wrapped in a luxuriously black coat. Darling is the kind of dog who lives up to her name in every possible way. She’s a sweet, playful, and people-oriented companion who will fill your days with endless affection and entertainment. Darling loves to be the center of attention and wouldn’t have it any other way. If you’re looking for a dog who will always be excited to see you and bring you her favorite stuffed toys when she’s happy, Darling is the one for you! This lovely lady adores being brushed, especially when it comes to her belly. She’s not too keen on having her nails trimmed, but she handles it with grace and minimal fuss. Darling is quite vocal about her likes and dislikes, ensuring you always know exactly how she feels. She’s a natural communicator, using her voice to express her disapproval at any minor inconvenience. It’s just one of the many charming quirks that make her so unique! At eight years old, Darling has reached the senior age category, but don’t let that fool you into thinking she’s slowing down. She’s still full of energy and loves to play, though she can be a bit rough, making a home without young children the best fit for her. Darling thrives as an only pet and will shine brightest in a home where she doesn’t have to share the spotlight with other animals. Darling is house-trained, crate-trained, and has been spayed and microchipped. She knows basic commands like "sit" and "paw" and behaves calmly when left alone for short periods. Due to her hip dysplasia and arthritis, Darling needs a bit of extra care and a home with a fenced yard where she can enjoy leisurely walks and playtime at her own pace. She pulls on the leash, so a bit of patience and training will help make walks more enjoyable for both of you. Darling cannot be around tortoises, so her new home should be tortoise-free. This friendly and constant companion will bring immense joy and love into your life! Are you ready to be Darling’s new best friend and share countless happy moments together?
