My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi my name is Darla! My foster parent says I`m a very cuddly and friendly girl; my big ears are like a radar for finding new friends! I like to go for long walks to get all of the ` doggie news` via interesting smells. I can be pretty energetic, but that should be expected from a young lady like me. Once I get my fill, I take nice big naps just like the rest of them! If you have a dog already who you would like me to be siblings with, I would need to meet them first to make sure we get along. Some dogs can intimidate me, but I am working on understanding that dogs can be my friend. I would absolutely love to meet you!

Darla is currently living in one of our wonderful foster homes. Adopting from foster is easy! Please email adoptions@hshv.org or call (734)662-5585 to arrange a meeting today!

Additional adoption info

Thank you for considering adopting and saving a life! Our goal is to provide you with the knowledge you need to adopt while making the process a positive experience, so here are some things to know:

+ You must be 18 years of age or older to adopt at HSHV. We welcome all--from any county or state!

+ Prior to visiting an animal, you must complete an application. You can do this at the shelter, or save time by bringing a completed one with you by downloading it from our website at www.hshv.org/howtoadopt.

+ Some animals have special adoption requirements.

+ Adoptions are first-come, first served and holds are limited to one 24-hour hold per family.

+ Please allow at least an hour if you plan on adopting. Bring your driver's license or other government-issued ID with proof of address, a copy of your lease (if it applies) and vaccination records for current pets.

+ Applications are accepted up until 15 minutes prior to closing.

+ Most adoptions are same-day, you'll take home your new friend!

When our animals go home, they've received an initial health check and have been:
+ Spayed/Neutered
+ Microchipped
+ Current on vaccinations (as appropriate to their age)
+ Dewormed
+ Feline Leukemia tested (kittens and cats)
+ Heartworm tested (adult dogs)
