About Daphne

Meet Daphne! Daphne is a sweet, mixed-breed gal with a gentle demeanor. Estimated to be around 2 to 3 years old and weighing 50 pounds, she found her way to us as a stray. Understandably timid in the bustling shelter, she quickly shows her true colors with a little patience and some tasty treats. Daphne is very treat motivated and loves to show off her skills—she knows how to sit on command, especially when a reward is near. This affectionate girl enjoys leash walks and the chance to explore on trail adventures, sniffing out all the new scents in her surroundings. Daphne would benefit from a loving home that can give her the time she needs to decompress and feel secure. With some confidence-building encouragement, she will thrive in a caring environment. Daphne has shown nice interactions with other dogs and might enjoy having a canine companion to help her adjust to her new life. However, she can also thrive as the only dog in the home. A meet-and-greet with any current pets would be arranged to ensure compatibility. If you have a dog-savvy cat, she could get along well with proper introductions. Additionally, she would do best in a home with dog-savvy kids aged 8 and older. Daphne is available through our Foster-to-Adopt program, allowing her to settle in with her future family while awaiting her spay procedure. This way, she can enjoy the comforts of home as she builds her confidence and learns what love truly means. Think you can provide Daphne with the loving home she deserves? What are you waiting for?
