About Daffy

Daffy is a spirited 2-year-old neutered male Plott Hound mix, ready to find his forever home. At 65 pounds, this playful companion thrives on activity and love. Rescued just in time from the euthanasia list in Houston, Texas, he shows resilience and joy for life, thanks to his dedicated foster mom and Dizzy Dog Animal Rescue. Daffy enjoys the company of other dogs and has even earned a spot on the honor roll at doggy daycare! Though his interactions with cats are still a mystery, he's eager to play and engage. Ideally, Daffy would flourish with an active family who has playful dogs and older children—his excitement can sometimes be overwhelming for little ones. He is fully house-trained and crate-trained, using his crate as a safe space for meals and downtime. Daffy knows his name and loves a good game of catch. While he’s still perfecting his leash manners and figuring out what belongs indoors versus outdoors, he’s a quick learner who responds well to guidance.
