PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.

Darla Dogue de Bordeaux mix!
What a gorgeous girl! Darla and her 3 sisters were dumped in the extreme Arkansas summer heat, on a paved road with no shelter, food, or water. When our volunteer came upon them, they were all heat exhausted and dehydrated but they were trying their best to survive. They were thrilled that someone stopped to help them and they happily hopped in he car to be rescued. some dogs just know they need help. All 4 of them had cherry eyes, which we have had surgically corrected. Cherry eyes is a prolapse of the nictitating membrane, or 3rd eyelid, and requires surgical intervention. You can see in the photo of Darla in the pool that she had not yet had surgery to fix hers, but it has been done now. Darla is a very good girl. We believe she is a French mastiff (Dogue de Bordeaux) mix - think Turner and Hooch. She is not a giant size, but if our age and breed guesses are correct, she still has some growing to do. Mastiff breeds will often continue growing and filling out until they are at least 2 years old. We believe Darla is 6-8 months, and she currently weighs about 45-50 lbs. She will probably never be a giant size but will likely be a large dog. Darla is friendly and sweet natured. She is in a foster home with many other dogs of various breeds, ages, and sizes, and she is social and sweet with all of them. She would be a great choice for any family. She is working on house training but isn't 100% there yet. It is very difficult to housetrain when you have lots of dogs because you can't get them all out quick enough before they have accidents. We fully believe that once she is in a home of her own she will pick up on it much faster and will master it in no time. This sweet big girl is amazing and we can't wait for her family to find her!
