About Daphne

Daphne is an adorable Maltese mix puppy looking for her forever home. At just 6 weeks old and weighing only 2–3 pounds, she is a playful little bundle of joy who delights in her toys and loves playtime. Daphne is growing quickly and will be ready for adoption at 8–9 weeks of age, needing a family that can provide the time and attention she deserves. Owning such a tiny puppy comes with its own set of responsibilities; potential adopters must understand her safety needs. With her small size, Daphne will require extra supervision to protect her from accidents or injuries. She thrives in a loving environment where she can learn and grow. Her future family must live in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, or Tennessee. Before adoption, she will have received one vaccination, with all remaining vaccinations, spay/neuter, and microchipping covered in the fee. If you have the patience and dedication to guide this little girl through her early months, Daphne could be the ideal addition to your life. Ready to welcome her home? Apply today!
