Darla is an adorable 4-year-old pitbull/boxer mix. Although she can be extremely shy around people that she meets for the first time, she becomes very loving and playful after a little while. She just needs time to get to know someone. She does get along very well with cats but would feel more comfortable in a home with no small children or other dogs. She likes things easy going and slow-paced, sort of like a lot of us humans do as well! The type of owner she is seeking would be someone who has a lot of time to give to her. She needs patience and extra TLC to help her slowly adjust to her new environment. Her favorite thing to do is play with her squeaky toys, so please have plenty of those on hand for her enjoyment! She loves going for walks and is proud of her good leash manners. What a wonderful, sweet companion this little lady would be. To visit Darlax, stop by the Humane Society of Rome, 6247 Lamphear Road, call 315-336-7070 or go to www.humanesocietyrome.com.

If you love her name, you will love her personality. It fits her perfectly. Bizarre may take a minute to warm up to you, as she shows her interest in you in a funny way. Once she has met you, she will love you forever. Bizarre still needs a little bit of leash work as she will tug on it when she gets excited, but she learns quickly. When Bizarre is happy, she bounces around and will swing her back end into you. We recommend a home willing to work on training and without young kids as she doesn’t realize her size and strength. She is a funny girl that will make you laugh. If you would like to meet her, stop by Wanderers’ Rest Humane Association, 7138 Sutherland Drive, Canastota, or call at 315-697-2796.
