About Daphne

Daphne is a charming Maltese seeking a stable forever home after a series of unfortunate events. She lost her first family due to illness and then faced another upheaval when her second owner had a serious accident. Now in foster care, she takes her time to settle in, but once she feels safe, her affectionate nature shines through. Daphne has been raised in a home with cats and loves dogs of all sizes. Although she’s not yet potty trained, she’s intelligent and eager to learn. A home with adults and a secure yard would suit her best. She enjoys snuggling at night, and while she’s kennel trained, she’d prefer to be close to you. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. Someone with the financial stability to meet her grooming needs—about every six to eight weeks—would fit her perfectly. If you're located along the front range, consider welcoming Daphne into your heart. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
