Darla is very unique in her markings. Her head is completely black. Then the rest of her body is black and white. Look at those standup ears! Darla is a 4 to 5-year-old 40 pound fox terrier/rat terrier mix that came into the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 8/27 as a stray. She should compete for the Olympics. She is very agile! She loves to get up on things as you can see from the photos. I'm assuming it gives her a better view of her environment. She will also need a very secure, tall fence as it appeared she was trying to find a way to get out of the yard. Possibly she's looking for her previous owners. She does sit for treats, but because she's so active does not stay in that position very long. She is friendly and seeks affection. When I first went to her kennel, she struck out her paw as if she was saying " pick me". She also came and put her head on my lap. She has recently had a litter. She's a happy frisky, fun-loving girl! She would do best with an active family that will spend quality time engaging her. She did her business in the yard. She has a strong pull on the leash.
