About Daddio

Daddio is an 8-year-old senior gentleman who might not look like a puppy, but he certainly acts like one! When he came to us from Animal Control, he stood out among a cacophony of barking dogs, simply observing with his soulful eyes as if waiting for someone to notice him. Now, he’s come into his own, filled with joy and affection. In the play yard, Daddio trots around exuberantly, showing off the playful spirit that never really faded away. After his transformation—dirt and grime scrubbed away—he welcomed a new lease on life, feeling fresh and loved. Daddio is not just sweet; he's truly affectionate and eager to bond. He deserves an environment filled with love, where he can curl up next to you after runs in the yard, wagging his tail as he settles in. This larger-than-life pup has a lot of love to share, and he’s ready for his forever home. If you think your family could be the right fit, reach out to us. Let’s find Daddio the loving home he’s always deserved!
