darby

Hi there! I’m Darby — your future best friend and professional snuggle buddy! 🐾I’m a mix of Labrador Retriever and Australian Cattle Dog, which means I’ve got a big heart, a loyal spirit, and a thoughtful, sensitive soul. I may not be the first to run up and say hi, but give me a little time and patience, and you’ll see — I’m full of love just waiting for the right person to share it with.I’ve mastered the basics like house training and I’m great on a leash now — walks are one of my favorite ways to spend time with my people! I get along well with other dogs, especially with slow, gentle introductions that help me feel safe. I currently live with two dog siblings who look a bit like me, and we love to cuddle up on the couch or romp around the yard together.While I’m not a big fan of being in the kennel (I’d much rather be curled up on the couch, your bed, or wherever my humans and dog friends are!), I’m well-behaved and respectful around the house. I’m also a polite guest — just give me a comfy spot and a chew bone, and I’m a happy girl.Men can make me a little nervous at first, but I’m trying hard to be brave. With kindness, calm energy, and a little time, I warm up and become a deeply loyal and loving companion. I’m not just looking for any home — I’m hoping for one where I can truly feel safe and part of the family.My foster mom says I’m a sweet, smart, and thoughtful girl who’s always trying her best. If you’re looking for a gentle soul with a big heart and the loyalty of a Lab mixed with the devotion and intelligence of a Cattle Dog — I just might be your perfect match.-------------All our Warrior Dogs will have all age appropriate medical care and vaccines, a microchip, and spayed/neutered if the dog is over 6 months of age at the time of adoption.
