Meet Darcy.  This gorgeous girl recently arrived in a severely overcrowded shelter in a rural part of SC.  Her owners surrendered her because she had "gotten too big".   Worthy Dog would love to help her find a forever family.  In order to do so, we need a foster or adopter willing to take her in.  If you are able to help, please do apply. 

Darcy is currently living in a foster home in rural SC and is described as very sweet and smart. Her foster has this to say about her: 

" I had the pleasure of fostering Darcy during hurricane Florence.   Darcy has been the perfect housepet, sometimes even better than my other 2. She is sweet & smart. She has gotten along with my other 2 dogs & has not bothered the cats at all. She is crate trained & I think she has been in a house before. I think she is house broken based on what I observed. She loves to ride in the car & she walks on a leash. 
Housetrained? I think she is. One time she went to the door by herself, waiting for me to let her out.

Crate trained? Yes. She did not have any accidents in my house or the crate while she was with me.

Leash walking skills? Walked great on a leash.

Energy level of pet? Energy to spare but runs off energy.  Very mellow. Very calm.

Personality of pet.  Social.  Never met a stranger. Friendly. Wiggly with happiness. Crowd pleaser. Affectionate. Mixer and mingler. Kissy. Playful. Cuddly. Polite. Happy to hang near you. Let's go to the dog park. Well mannered. Face cleaner. School bus greeter, Loves toys,  Smart, Sweet. I don’t have any kids, but I think she would be happy to be swarmed by kids.

Best suited in a moderate activity home. She is approximately 10 months old & needs someone to play with her.

Ready to go and do? Yes    Does your pet like car rides? Yes   Are they open to go and to and explore? Yes   Good choice for walking down a Main Street setting? Yes  

If your foster interacted with other dogs in your home how did that go? She got along great with my 2 dogs. She played with both of them and shared food with one of my dogs.

Please describe what you feel might be the ideal home for your foster? Would the home have kids? Yes because she loves people and is playful.  Cats? Yes.  I had 2 indoor cats & she did not bother them at all.  Farm setting?Yes   Fenced in yard? Yes"

You can also help save dogs like this one by becoming a foster, providing a rescue dog with a temporary home and giving them the love and care they need until they are permanently adopted. Every person who fosters is directly responsible for saving the life of a dog, because we can only save as many dogs as we have foster families available to welcome them into their homes. If you think you might be interested in becoming a foster and want to learn more, please go to http://foster.worthydog.org and fill out an application.
