Description:
Please give this deserving girl a stable home!

Darcy spent most of her life as a loyal companion to an elderly farm couple.  But after the husband died, the wife had to move into Senior housing in town, and asked us to find a new home for Darcy.  This poor girl has since been through two new homes.  The first adopter was also a little older, and could not handle her size and strength.  Now her second new owner has gone through some life changes, and does not have time for a dog.  Darcy is really paying the price for this.  She REALLY needs a stable, commited home. 

Adopting a pet that has "been around the block a few times" can be very rewarding, and is perfect if you are looking for an easy-going, moderately active companion.

Darcy is VERY sweet, loves to give kisses, and does well with children. She loves to be with her people, and really wants to please.  She is housebroken, and has very good house manners.  She likes to pull on her leash, but does great with a gentle leader.  Like any dog, Darcy needs attention and appropriate exercise, or she will make her own activities (like chewing up the toilet paper roll, or a shoe here and there). 

Darcy has a high prey drive, so should not be in a home with cats.  She also needs more work on her socialization with other dogs, as currently she can be very dominant, and does show some aggression.  Since she has not lived with another dog yet in our care, we do not know if she would adapt to another dog with some time and proper guidance. 

We do not want to make Darcy move homes again, as she is losing confidence with each time she is rehomed.  Can someone give her a lifetime commitment?
