About Daphne Big Heart

Daphne Big Heart is ready for either a foster or forever home. She stands out as the quiet leader of her litter, gently guiding her siblings and taking on the protector role from a young age. When Daphne first arrived with her four siblings, she shouldered a lot—for such a young pup, that's a big task. What makes Daphne unique is that beneath her responsible exterior lies a sensitive, intelligent, and thoughtful puppy who's finally learning she doesn't have to run the show anymore. Since arriving at the rescue, she's thrived with gentle structure and routines. Slowly, she's opening up—each day bringing more playfulness, curiosity, and confidence. Daphne loves relaxing into a comforting routine and responds especially well to calm guidance. She finds confidence from the dogs around her and would do best in a home where another steady, balanced dog can show her the ropes and help her enjoy puppyhood. She doesn’t want to lead—she needs a family and a canine companion to help her feel soothed, safe, and young again. Daphne is still figuring out house training, but she's eager to learn, and vaccinations are up to date. Her gentle, affectionate nature makes her a wonderful match for homes with children, other dogs, and even cats. Born on February 22 (a Pisces—imaginative and gentle), Daphne is waiting in Lake Forest, IL, ready for her next chapter. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
