Update 4/26/17: Rescue pending (rescue hold in place)
A video of a heartbroken senior dog, silently shaking on her lonely kennel run bed, shows the devastating emotional toll which “shelter life” has on a dog.

I will be sharing Darla, I pray she finds her way out!
Good to know there is a rescue in place, hopefully she will be out of there and on her way to a foster or new home soon!
Has she found a home? How could someone do that to her…:'(
Has she found a forever home? The link no longer works…I want more information about fostering this angel
Someone had mentioned in her posting that Darla had died. They said she died from cancer and other medical problems. I requested from the person who posted her to begin with to verify that info. There was no mentioning of her having cance or any other medical problems. They said the shelter would not release her to the rescue until her stray hold was up. This is bull, he rescue should of been allowed to pull after three days. Not sure if or when she died. If this is true then this was a silent kill. I just do not understand. She had a rescue, pledges and a foster I think, so why did they not release her?
Barbara she was rescued.
Please SOMEONE this furbaby, don’t leave her alone
Please someone adopt this sweet baby ASAP don’t leave her alone.
The video is heartbreaking.
Someone please save this beautiful girl give her a home that she deserves “PLEASE”
would a heated blanket help her feel more secure?
Might be a little hot there but just a plain one might help. They could at least giver her that much.
sharing Darla <3

This dog is being rescued by Dogue de Bordeaux Rescue Inc. She will be coming to us once her stray hold is up. http://www.ddbrescue.org
Thank you!
Thank you! I am so relieved.
I’m not sure the requirements but I would like to help
How can we find out when she gets there? Would love to put in an application for adoption!
Awwwwwww REALLY? WOW ! YOU GUYS JUST MADE MY DAY… You guys are GREAT! BIGGEST HUGGS N SMOOTCHERS TO ALL THAT MADE THIS POSSIBLE…
Yesssss
I can breathe again. Thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Bless you, for taking Darla, she will be in good hands!
Thank you so much
Oh my. Thank you. How long does it take? Even if she was surrendered there’s a stray hold? That’s ludicrous and cruel. God bless you for saving her. Please post when she is free. ????❤️
I’m so thankful to hear this. Thank you!
Thank you. Please keep us all posted. When is her hold up?
I will take her
You’re a hero!
Did you get her?
I am in tears. I hate what some owners do to their pets. It’s heartless and cruel. Please someone save Darla and give her a good loving home. Shared.
OMG this is so heart breakingJow could anyone do such a thing to her. There has to be someone out there wiho will save her. Please do not let this place kill her. We need to get her out now.
????????????
I can’t watch another video, just reading their stories starts the tears. I have been in quite a few tough situations with my animals. I could not find any reason to dump them or just set them free just the thought of it is enough for me to get a second job now before i need one.
Please save her . .she didn’t ask to be in a kennel with the smell of death surrounding her…none of them did. Greedy backyard breeders should be living on death row.
I would love to have her. I’m in Georgia though.
Sharing Darla hee and will be going on FB to add more.
This breaks my heart. I wish I could take Darla home so she can live out her golden years with my senior babies. My prayers are with you, Darla. Please don’t let her die!!
I would love to bring her home. She needs a quiet place to rest. I would put her in bed and wrap my arms around her and softly sing her to sleep. Seeing this hurts my heart.
I hope Darla isn’t ill. Sharing.
One thing I can say is when the owner gets damn old I hope their children or family dumps their ass in a nursery hold that abuses them or dump them in a field to rot.
If we were closer we would take her
I am going to write to Frosted Faces and ask if they can help this treasure.
I would love to adopt her but I live in Northern California and can’t come to the shelter in person…… she is very much welcome in my home if she can travel up North……. I hope she can find a new furever home……

AAWWHHH WHY DON’T PEOPLE THAT SURRENDER THEIR DOGS HAVE ANY GUILT ABOUT WHAT THEY DO…..HOW CAN THEY LIVE WITH THEMSELVES….I FUCKING HATE THOSE HEARTLESS BASTARDS….HOPE AND PRAY THEY ALL DIE
please give her a blanket to snuggle under, it might comfort her
Am in the UK this is heart breaking to see is there any update on this poor wee soul ????
Darla deserves MUCH better than to be sitting in a high kill shelter waiting to die. This is a beautiful dog who will love you unconditionally – PLEASE get her out of this hell hole.
Is the sweet baby safe? Please someone give this wonderful lady a great home. Breaks my heart.
Oh my GOD!!! Why in the HELL would someone seal the fate of a senior animal that obviously been in a home situation for many years to that??? “Invite” those people to spend a couple of days in those surroundings and see how they like it…still not good enough for them, because they know why they’re there, these animals have NO clue why they’re there!!!
Located her on FB and shared. Please update, situation, or confirm rescue. Freedom photo would be very welcome. She’s a precious pet, Life Form.
After looking at the Video of this Beautiful Fur Baby makes me sick that why anyone would turn this Dog into a Kill Shelter is beyond me. I Hope Karma Gets to you, You Scum.
Poor baby I love you more with age they will be dropped off at a shelter like a nursing home when they get old and they shall reap what they sow !!!
I want her but live in Louisiana. How can I get her?
I think she has a rescue it says in previous comments maybe contact them!!! Best Wishes & GodBless u❤️
Sharing praying to find a family for Darla or a rescue can’t believe there’s no one that can help where’s all the rescues
This beautiful girl is going into rescue with Dogue de Bordeaux Rescue! (What I read.)
Yeah there, If there was a way to get this dog transported out a CA or to another region of CA the chaces of adoption would go up. Stop postin “please adopt” or that I can’t help volunteer to be part of a transport chain to allow rescue groups to step in and help. If you can transport 50 miles to meet another, or help a group get her out to move her on step up. May mean you may have to foster to move this dog to a forever home.
Im in ny long island i would take this dog. Beautiful dog!!! I think when someone wants to come along way to fly and picl up this pup that the shelter doesnt charge u any fees so that u can fly this pup home
She wasn’t just shaking. She was crying!
That is very sad to watch to see that dog shaking in fear I am so heartbroken please someone take that dog and give her a good home I have to rescue pit bulls and they are the best dogs ever they just need love lots of love I beg you in the name of Jesus please take this dog home with you somebody please Jesus please god some One save this dog amen
Does anyone have a status update on this sweet baby.
Please. What is the latest update on Darla. Has that Rescue removed her from the shelter. Has she had visitors to attempt to comfort her.
Please update us on her rescue.
I had read on one of her threads that she had died. Someone stated she had died in her sleep, stating she had cancer and other medical problems that contributed to her death. I have sent messages out requesting an up date but nothing as of yet. I even sent one to the shelter. If this dog is dead, it is because they killed it. There was no mentioning in any of her write-ups that she had cancer or was sick.
