Pup In Need Of TLC


*Update: Darla has found a foster home! Thank you, whoever you are.

This request came from a volunteer at
Pasco County Animal Services. This puppy was brought in over the weekend. She lived on a farm and tangled with a member of the livestock community, resulting in a broken leg. Her owners were unable to get her the help that she needed, so they surrendered her to the shelter. She's a 12 week old shepherd mix dubbed Darla, and in need of a nice, quiet foster home for the next two months, while she recuperates. Of course, should her warm licks of appreciation and grateful tail wags persuade you to call her a permanent family member, that would be okay, too. PCAS will take care of her veterinary needs while she is being fostered. She will need to be brought into the shelter once a week for a check up. If you have a place for Darla, email Dr. Spencer or call (813)929-1212 or (813)929-1217 and ask to speak to veterinary staff.
