Meet Daphne

Meet Daphne – The Sweetest Hound with a Heart of Gold! Breed: Hound (Beagle mix) Age: about 3 years old If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate companion who’ll bring warmth to your home and joy to your days, Daphne is your girl! This lovely 3-year-old hound has a calm, loving nature and a soft spot for belly rubs — in fact, she’ll politely wait for one before she leaves her kennel each morning. Daphne is house-broken, crate trained, and even uses the doggy door like a pro. She’s obedient, knows her basic commands (“sit,” “come,” “walk,” “outside”), and is learning to “shake paw.” She’s sensitive and eager to please — just a gentle “no” is enough to guide her. This sweet hound loves her daily walks and will head to the door when it’s time to explore. Like most beagles, she enjoys sniffing every new scent and may give a little tug when something interesting catches her nose. When the day winds down, you’ll often find Daphne kenneling herself for bedtime — she keeps her own schedule! She loves to curl up in a chair next to you or right in your lap, soaking up love and attention. Personality highlights: Calm, quiet, and affectionate Food-motivated and gentle with treats Sociable with dogs (especially once she warms up), ignores cats, and adores kids Occasionally gives a short, sweet howl when she misses her human Loves being near you and will “call” if she can’t find you Fun facts: She’s polite at mealtime (no begging!) Enjoys walks and lounging equally Has the softest, most soulful eyes Daphne would thrive in a home where she has companionship—someone who will appreciate her mellow, loving spirit and give her the cuddles she craves. If your heart (and lap!) have room for one gentle hound, Daphne is ready to fill your life with loyalty, comfort, and love.
