Darlin

Adoption Area: East Tennessee

  • Someone home for part of the day
  • Children, if present, should be over 8 years old
  • Calm canine companions are welcome


SOMEONE PLEASE FALL IN LOVE WITH DARLIN. ❤️

Some dogs need a big backyard, endless adventures, or a family on the go.

Darlin just needs YOU. 🥹🐾

This sweet senior girl Chihuahua mix is estimated to be 10–12 years old, and her foster mom says her name couldn’t fit her better. Darlin is sweet, calm, cuddly, and happiest when she’s right beside her person. She doesn’t ask for much—just a soft place to rest, a few short walks, and someone to love.

And she has SO much love to give in return. ❤️

Darlin is housetrained, walks nicely on a leash, rides quietly in the car, and sleeps peacefully in her crate right beside her foster parents’ bed. She gets along well with other calm dogs and would be perfectly happy spending her days keeping you company.

She’s also been working hard on her health! Darlin has reached her ideal weight of 15 pounds, and now she needs a family committed to helping her stay there with the right food and short daily walks. No marathon training required—just a little consistency and a lot of love. 🥰

Darlin recently had a dental cleaning and only lost one tooth. She’s also been treated for the itching she experienced when she first came into rescue and currently takes a small amount of an over-the-counter allergy medication each evening, which may not be needed long-term.

Please don’t let Darlin’s age make you scroll past her.

She isn’t looking for a lifetime of adventures.
She’s looking for a lifetime of being loved.

And if you have room in your heart for a sweet older girl who will happily follow you from room to room and curl up beside you, Darlin may be exactly who you’ve been waiting for. ❤️🐾

Could you be Darlin’s person?

Darlin is spayed, microchipped, current on vaccines, up-to-date on flea and heartworm prevention, and has had her dental care completed.
