About Daffy

Daffy is a 2-year-old, neutered male Plott Hound mix weighing around 65 pounds. This playful guy is currently living in a foster home in Mooresville, NC, and is awaiting the perfect family to welcome him into their lives. After being rescued just moments before euthanasia at BARC in Houston, Texas, Daffy is ready for his second chance at a loving home. This resilient pup loves to stay active and thrives with other dogs. He's been known to make the honor roll at doggy daycare, enjoying all the playtime he can get. Though we’re unsure how he interacts with cats, a household with playful dogs and an active family will suit him best. Daffy's playful and lively nature means he would do better with children over 10 who can match his energy and strength. Fully house-trained and crate-trained, Daffy uses his crate as a secure space during meals. He adores his food and utilizes a slow feeder to enjoy every bite. He responds well to his name, and you’ll often find him eager for games of catch by your side. Daffy is learning leash manners and is a quick study with a little guidance. He can be a bit mischievous when left unsupervised, so it’s wise to crate him during those times. With patience and training, Daffy will continue to blossom into the loyal companion he is meant to be. If you're active, have a family that can engage his playful spirit, and are ready to provide loving guidance, Daffy could be the perfect addition to your home. Don't wait long to apply and meet this delightful pup!
