About

Meet Daphne

Meet Daphne, a sweet and shy Dachshund/Poodle mix with a heart of gold. Weighing in at just 10 pounds, Daphne has the adorable long body and short legs of a Dachshund, paired with a unique wire-haired coat. Unfortunately, Daphne’s early life wasn’t the easiest. She was living in a home where she didn’t receive the care she deserved, and after her owner passed away, she was left at a high-kill shelter. At the shelter, Daphne was so frightened and shut down that they considered her unadoptable. Thankfully, rescues stepped in, and Daphne is now in foster care. In her foster home, Daphne has made an incredible transformation! She has blossomed into a loving companion, becoming her foster mom's little shadow and cuddling up whenever she gets the chance. While she hasn’t quite mastered fetch yet, Daphne loves to chase after a ball and enjoys a calm, quiet environment. Daphne would thrive with a family who is home often and can give her the love and attention she craves. A fenced yard would be ideal, especially at first, as she can be a little skittish in new surroundings. Daphne is quick and slippery through doorways, so be sure to keep a close eye on her when entering or leaving. She is potty trained and knows how to use a pet door. Due to her timid nature and long body, Daphne would do best in a home without small children. She’s not fond of rough handling, but she’s incredibly gentle and affectionate. Daphne does get tear stains, but there are supplements available to help with that. Daphne is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all her vaccinations. Her adoption fee is $325. If you’re interested in giving Daphne the loving home she deserves, please visit www.misfitsdogrescue.org for more information. We’ll contact you to schedule a visit!
