Meet Darcy. So many of you have been following Darcy's story and her recovery. We are pleased to say she has been given the green light by our veterinarian to start looking for her forever home. Thank you to all of our incredible donors and her amazing, dedicated foster mom, who helped make Darcy's recovery possible. Darcy is a beautiful petite female Golden Retriever of approximately 9-10 years old. This girl came to us after being dumped in a field w/ sheep and goats: no food, no water, no family. Our volunteer rushed to the shelter after being advised as to Darcy's condition. She was so happy to be saved, wanting to ride in the front seat of her foster mom's car. Darcy's tail thumped all the way happily home, over a 2-hour drive! Darcy's first stop was the groomer for a bath and pampering she deserved and needed. Early the next morning, Darcy saw our vet. She had a severe ear and eye infection plus a skin infection, intestinal infection, decayed teeth, and a mass on her tail in addition to being severely underweight. After completing several rounds of tests, Darcy came home with her foster having seven medications! She needed to be bathed every other day with a medicated shampoo. We had our work cut out for us. Miracles do happen. Darcy made noticeable daily progress. Her eyes improved, her ears cleared. Her coat glowed, and she gained weight steadily. Less than two months later, she was given a clean bill of health and was ready for her needed surgeries to remove the mass from her tail, dental, and her spay. We biopsied the mass, and we are happy to report it was benign. Darcy is well behaved, including meeting her foster family's pets. Large dogs, small dogs, a cat, and turtles. She quickly learned the doggy door and never had an accident in the house. She has no food aggression, sits perfectly for her bowl to be placed down, with the other pets for her three meals per day. She is a "Super Counter Surfer." Nothing is safe within her reach. Her new family will need to be diligent, making sure that counters remain cleared, safe from anything she can get put in her mouth. Gum, candy, medications, need to be put away in a locked cabinet. Darcy walks perfectly on a leash, greeting everyone she meets. True to her breed, she loves to retrieve balls, and will frequently be seen carrying any stuffed toy around with her. She enjoys a comfy dog bed but quickly copied her foster mom's dogs and lounges on a couch or bed. Darcy is spayed, up to date on her vaccines, microchipped, completed blood work done, and dental. She's now ready to meet her new family. This sweet girl will make a great companion for anyone. If you have an interest in making Darcy part of your family, please complete our application.
