Meet Miss Darla... From facing a coward's firing squad...

...to becoming Darling Darla!! Care to join me on my sunny veranda for
a Mint Julep and croissants??

Meet darling, sweet, lover girl, 12 year-old Darla. Life has not aways been good for this wonderful Senior girl. She was brought to a vet's office, lifeless and with maggots covering her vulva. Upon examination, the vet found severe Pyometra, dehydration, starvation, and of course she was heart worm positive. Her people didn't want to pay for her care so they decided to take her home and shoot her. The vet was able to convince them to sign her over to them and she was nursed back to health and recovered from her severe neglect after having emergency surgery and gaining 20 pounds. When she arrived to her rescue's foster home, she was set up in the dining room. But by the next morning, she had disappeared. Her Foster Mom was frantic until she found that Darla had chosen the guest bedroom and moved all of her belongings there during the night, including her bed, blankets, and toys. So, this is now Darla's room! She scampers out to play for short periods of time then returns to her room for her nap. She enjoys treats, hugs, and a warm place to lay in the sun. Darla takes all of her medications every day like a good girl, is house broken, and will be allowed to spend the rest of her days in her Foster's (and now her) home. Darla's Foster Mom says her life and heart will never be the same because of her darling girl Darla!! Loved and cherished at last!!

The Sponsor A Senior program helps Seniors by raising funds for their rescue programs. This helps offset some of the additional costs that come with caring for a senior (diet, medications, supplements, etc.). Please read more about this program on the Sponsor A Senior page.
