About Daphne

Meet Daphne, our adorable little peanut! This sweet girl has just joined Paws New England, and we're excited to share what we've learned about her so far. At just 6 lbs, this black and tan Chihuahua is even cuter in person. She's affectionate and loves nothing more than curling up for a cozy lap nap. Currently staying with a foster family in Texas, she gets along well with other dogs. While we haven't seen her with larger dogs yet, a home with smaller dogs might be a perfect fit—or she could be your one and only. Daphne is in the process of becoming fully house trained and is currently pee pad trained. She settles into her crate comfortably without any fuss. Daphne is set to arrive in New England on 11/7. With her charming personality and petite size, she's certain to be snatched up quickly. If a tiny black and tan sweetheart is what you’ve been searching for, don’t hesitate to apply. Your new best friend is just one click away.
