About Daphne

Daphne is a three-year-old Beagle/hound mix with an old soul and a gentle heart. She lives for quiet companionship and will happily curl up in a chair beside you or flop down for a belly rub at your feet. Soft-spoken and sensitive, Daphne rarely needs more than a kind word to guide her. She’s house-broken, crate trained, and uses the doggy door like she was born to it. Basic commands like "sit," "come," and "walk" are already in her vocabulary, and she’s picking up new tricks every day. Daphne walks politely on leash, though she’ll sometimes pull when a new scent catches her nose. She’s relaxed around other dogs, content to ignore cats, and absolutely adores children. At mealtime, Daphne is impressively polite—never a beggar—and she’s gentle taking treats from your hand. Each night, she puts herself to bed and welcomes a calm evening with you. If you step out of sight, she’ll occasionally treat you to a soft, longing howl until you return. Daphne does best with people who are around to keep her company and appreciate her mellow, affectionate spirit. Home visits are required for adoption, and she’s spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and heartworm treated. If you’re looking for a calm, loyal companion who’ll fit seamlessly into a family with dogs, cats, or kids, Daphne is waiting in Glen St Mary, FL for a soft place to land.
