Featured Dog- Darby

My name is Darby. I am a very inventive girl and I can turn any ordinary day into an adventure. I would be thrilled to accompany my new pet-parents on their athletic pursuits and outdoor adventures. True to my terrier tendencies, I am always on the go, so I hope you are active like me! I would like going on runs, hikes, or long walks in the neighborhood. I’m a lovable companion seeking a special home where I’ll be a cherished member of the family. With bright eyes and a precious face, I have a beautiful personality to match.
