My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Daphne! There’s something magical about this chonk - she’s got that razzle dazzle and we know you can see it, too!

A low key queen, Daphne just wants to Netflix & Chill next to you. She'll even grab your arm with her paw so she can give you kisses. Daphne is low maintenance in every way - loves strutting her stuff on the leash, riding shotgun in the car, and sleeping through the night (as long as she's in bed with her person, of course!). She is housetrained, a pee pad pro, and doesn't mind staying home alone while her humans are out and about, especially if she has another pup to keep her company. As she continues to have success on her weight loss journey, she's getting more energetic and playful.

Daphne loves being around other dogs and is so great with cats that she plays with them! She prefers women over men and loves being spoken to like a baby. Her dream home is child-free but includes a canine sibling, as well as a family who will help her slim down. Daphne is on a special diet and exercise plan to address her weight, and needs a family who will be strict with her food intake, take her on lots of walks, and help her crush her weight loss goals. She has a history of bladder stones and needs a special urinary diet to prevent recurrence.

Daphne can be selective when choosing her people, but completely melts into you once she's chosen you as hers. A strong independent woman, she'd rather you not pick her up unless you're giving her a lift into the car or onto the bed. She's an A + listener and was recenty elected president of the Goodest Girl club in her foster home.

Apply today to meet her!

Daphne is approximately 8 years old and 20 lbs.
