Description:Darla and her brother Drake may just be the cutest "scruffy" puppies we have ever had at Safe Haven. They are a little shy at first, but Darla warms up to new people pretty quickly, and loves to cuddle and play. She is estimated at 10 weeks old, and has already quickly stolen the hearts of all our volunteers!
Darla is fully vaccinated, de-wormed, microchipped, and spayed. When Darla first arrived at Safe Haven, she had an umbilical hernia, which was repaired during her spay surgery on Jan 15th, so she is under medical observation for a few more days yet to ensure her surgery was successful and she heals accordingly.
Because having a puppy is a big decision that comes with a lot of responsibilities, an ideal family will be committed to taking a puppy obedience class and will continue to work at socialization skills. A well-socialized puppy usually develops into a happy, more relaxed and enjoyable pet. Because Darla is so young, she will also need a family willing to commit to all the work that goes into house-training a puppy, which requires a lot of patience and persistence with working on a schedule. Puppies need to be taken outside frequently - as often as every 4 hours in the beginning. So an ideal home will be one where Darla won't have long periods of time during the day spent alone, so they can have the best chance of successful housetraining and have years of wonderful love and devotion to focus on!
