A BIT ABOUT ME
Personality:
Darla is an affectionate and playfully natured little lady, who thrives in company whether of humans or dogs.
Darla is a gentle girl and loves children, she makes the ideal family companion.
She has the most inquisitive and cheeky side with just a hint of daredevil.
Behaviour:
Darla needs the company of another dog or her humans for her wellbeing.
Darla loves toys and will engage in rough play at times.
Darla is an energetic little lady, who sometimes doesn’t understand the dangers around her especially around water. She loves to swim and will jump in a river given the opportunity.
Needs:
Darla needs an active family environment, one who can shower her with all the attention she could ask for.
A dog in the home for companionship and company when her humans are away.
A garden is a must for gentle exercise and play.
Walk/exercise:
Darla’s breathing isn’t the best, so she can only manage short gentle walks.
Darla prefers to walk with the company of another dog; she can be unwilling to go alone.
Darla is happy to interact with unfamiliar dogs and adores meeting new people.
Toilet trained:
Yes, Darla is a good girl.
Travel:
Darla loves a car ride, because of this we will accept applications of up to 4 hours from her current location.
We recommend using a seatbelt restraint or travel crate whenever transporting dogs.
**TRANSPORTING DURING WARMER WEATHER IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE CAR AS COOL AS POSSIBLE**
Things to be aware of:
Darla had BOAS surgery prior to GBSR, her breathing isn’t the best however it is getting better as she loses weight.
Darla has allergies, she must stay on her current hypoallergenic diet and takes a Piriton daily. She could potentially have environmental allergies so we would recommend changing cleaning products from chemical based to a brand call Method and using their plant-based cleaning products.
Children must understand that bulldogs need time to settle in and have space to rest peacefully and uninterrupted.
Additional information from Darla’s foster family:
Darla is craziest, most loving English Bulldog. And anybody that gets to give her a home, will be very lucky.
Darla’s adoption donation fee is £500 and will need to be paid in full prior to her going home which will also be subject to a home check.
**Every dog rehomed by GBSR receives Rescue Back-up for their whole Life. And the admin team are available for advice and support for the whole of that dog’s lifetime via Messenger, therefore the successful applicant will need to have an active Facebook and Messenger account for the life of the dog.

Darla’s story,
Please welcome beautiful 23-month-old Darla into our Springboard family
Darla has not had the best start in life. She has suffered from Aspiration Pneumonia several times and undergone BOAS surgery. She has allergies, a persistent ear infection and wet eyes that need investigation
Her family have tried to help her but became overwhelmed with the complexity of her issues and so they reached out to us to see if we could help. Please, no judgement, its been a very sad realisation that they have gone as far as they could with Darla and they have done the right thing by asking us to help
On Sunday, foster volunteer’s Grace Nicoda & Paul Davies kindly collected Darla for us, and they will be fostering her in the Northwest. Thank you so much Nicola & Paul, we very much appreciate you travelling to collect this little girl for us and for offering to foster her
Darla has settled well and the has met her Furbro Buddy and they seem to be getting along well
We are hoping to get Darla in for her vet check this week as we need to get her skin condition under control, and she needs more meds for her ear infection. She is the happiest little girl though, a real sweetheart even with her ear infection and itchy skin
So little Darla, welcome to your Springboard journey and we are looking forward to seeing you flourish
