Darrow

Meet Darrow, a male, 5-year-old old Australian Kelpie Mix. He weighs 40 pounds. Back in 2019, we had a pregnant dog arrive to the shelter. The next day, she gave birth to 5 puppies, one of them being Darrow! He spent two months in foster growing up, and once they were ready, he went up for adoption and found a home! We had not heard anything about him after that, and recently, he arrived here as a stray. We tried to get in contact with his owners multiple times, but to no avail. It also seems as though Darrow has not had the best upbringing, being malnourished and having sores on him upon arrival. We are not sure what his life has looked like these past 4 (almost 5) years, but we know that Darrow deserves the best. Darrow is an active and loving dog who will thrive on consistency and structure. He loves peanut butter and toys. He will play fetch with a tennis ball as long as you throw them! He'd love to work on his basic obedience training so he can become the best pet he can be! Darrow will need an indoor home and a secure containment area to stay safe from wandering and escaping. Positive reinforcement, fear-free training will be needed. Daily exercise and mental enrichment will be very important. If you have other dogs in your home, we would be happy to arrange a meet and greet with your dog(s) to make sure everyone gets along. We do not know how he will do with cats. Darrow is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, neutered, and ready to go home today. The shelter is currently open by appointment only. Fill out an application to schedule an appointment today!
