Meet Darlene!
This tiny Shih Tzu girl was found starving to death locked in an abandoned home in DC alongside another dog. Darlene survived, but her friend - the other dog did not. Fortunately, she made her way to Miri's Haven and is thriving in recovery.
Darlene is steadily gaining weight and slowly, tenderly coming out of her shell. Watching her figure out that the world can be kind has been such a sweet thing to witness.
Darlene absolutely loves food and attention. If her foster mom is petting one of the other dogs, she will sprint over like the annoying little sibling who must IMMEDIATELY be included. We’re working on “wait your turn,” which she believes is a federal crime.
House training is coming along well, and while she has a bit of separation anxiety it's very understandable for a girl who was previously abandoned the way she was.
Every week she softens a little more. Every day she trusts a little deeper. She is blossoming in her own tiny, hilarious, determined way.
Darlene is approximately 10 years old and 7 lbs. More details as we get to know her better.
