Darby is a sweet 5-month-old Australian Shepherd mix who needs a special, patient home. Born in rescue, a traumatic transport left her terrified and prone to lashing out, requiring a child-free environment. She is good with other dogs and will thrive with dedicated support from her new family, ideally with a trainer, to help her build confidence and overcome her fears. She is fully vaccinated and microchipped.
