Darla

Meet Darla

She is a 2 year old, black/white American Pit Bull Terrier, around 70 lbs. She is spayed, up to date on her vaccines, and microchipped. She was up for adoption at the Humboldt County Animal Shelter. However, she became too hard to control for volunteers and became too anxious to get out of her kennel, so they booted her from adoptable. We sent this dog to a rescue in Southern CA, and unfortunately she was allowed to engage with dogs who constantly beat her up. As a result she now has some scars on her legs and face. Now that she's back in Humboldt in a foster home, we are getting to know the real her.


She is a strong girl who definitely needs a firm hand with basic training. She knows how to sit, but needs someone to show her patience as she has not had personal time dedicated to just her training needs. Darla really likes other dogs and does well with people of all ages, including children. According to foster she will chase a cat, but doesn't want to do any damage.
She would be IDEAL for a person who is active and wants a hiking companion! We consider Darla a puppy trapped in a full-grown dog's body! In other words, big giant lap dog!
