ADOPTION APPEAL FOR DARLA. PLEASE SUPPORT THIS YOUNG DOG

Darla is a very loving and affectionate dog of approximately 10-12 months. She is stunning and possibly a Staffy cross Mastiff. She came into our care as an emergency with a badly broken back leg. Darla has had two lots of surgery due to problems with the pin in her leg during her first surgery. Sadly the pin had to be removed so Darla only had a plate keeping the bone in place. One word - "difficult". Darla recovered in a family foster home and was crated and monitored. Due to being such a young dog extra sedation was needed to keep her calm and pain free so the leg could mend. This has been a difficult task and Darla has been unable to be over stimulated and walked. Darla is now better and needs slow and short walks. Sadly her foster family have decided not to keep her and she has been returned to kennels (15th August). Now recovered Darla is no longer the calm and sedate lady and her busy and puppy like nature has proved too much for her potential adopters. She is now a full on bouncy youngster that needs stimulation, socialising and energy burn offs. Darla has now started walking and has proved herself high spirited and amazing. She has done so much better on her first walks than we could imagine. Positive training is now in place and we are aiming high to find her the perfect dedicated home. She is no longer the poorly dog that arrived and is boisterous and bouncy and still very puppy like however in a large dogs body. Darla adored her foster people and we are so heartbroken that she has ended up back in kennels. We will be dedicating extra time to Darla who now needs extra socialisation with dogs and the outside world in general. Darla was living with teenage children and adored them. She bonded so well and her adjustment back into kennels has made her sad and bewildered. Darla is now signed off from the vets and she will be having regular walks, meet and greets with new people and dogs. This large puppy deserves a very special dedicated home and we are aiming high for her.
