Social with other dogs:  Loves other dogs – wants to play with all of them but she is a bit rough.  She will steal their toys, run between their legs if they're taller than her, and she wants them to play non-stop with her.  Her energy may be overwhelming for a more laid back dog. A working dog may perceive her non-stop activity as prey.

Social with cats:  Wants to play with the cats, but she’s too rough for most of them

Good with children:  She likes children but her energy may be a bit too much for young children.  Having older children to play fetch with her would be great to help her run off some energy

Other important things you need to know about Darma: 

Darma was purchased from a pet store and when she was 5 months old she was hit by a car.  She had some serious injuries to her left rear leg.  She did not, however, get immediate vet care.  A couple of weeks after the injury she came into rescue and went immediately for surgery on the injured leg.  It will never be 100% but she does have use of the leg and she has done well with her recovery, including physical therapy.  SHE doesn’t have a clue anything is wrong with the leg and it doesn’t slow her down one bit.

Darma is an absolute love bug!  She’s very smart and she needs a family who will make sure she gets plenty of exercise every day and lots of love.  She has so much energy, if she does not get a lot of attention and exercise, she will become a real challenge.  She is little and cute, but she is definitely NOT just a little lap dog!  She will do best with an experienced dog family who takes obedience training and doggy exercise seriously.  She is not a little couch potato!  She will be an absolute joy for the right family who is willing to invest some time and love in her!
