Daphne

Meet Daphne!<br/><br/>Daphne was found as a stray in Texas. She delivered and raised her puppies like the devoted mama she is, and now it’s finally Daphne’s turn to be loved. Daphne has done well with children, cats, and other dogs in her previous foster home. However, with her herding instincts, she may be best suited for a home without young children. <br/><br/>Daphne is a gentle and incredibly sweet shepherd mix. She can be a little timid at first, but once she feels safe her affectionate side shines. She melts for pets and loves curling up next to her people for cuddles and naps. She really enjoys walks. She walks nicely on leash but new smells and dogs can distract her. Loud cars or dogs can alarm her and she does have a strong prey drive, but she responds well to reassurance and redirection. <br/><br/>Daphne is a fast learner, and is starting to make great progress with potty training and routines. While she is not always highly treat motivated, she learns quickly with consistency and praise. She is still learning what things are okay to chew, but she responds well to redirection toward her toys. She just needs a patient home with consistent structure to help her keep building confidence and to become the loyal and affectionate companion she is meant to be. <br/><br/>Daphne enjoys the simple pleasures of watching her humans perform a job or following her humans around the house, lounging nearby, or simply being close. She is a cozy, relaxed companion once she feels secure enough to settle. Daphne generally sleeps through the night in her crate and settles well in her crate during the day when her person is nearby (it is a safe space for her to decompress). An adopter who works from home part or full time would be ideal as she works through some separation anxiety. <br/><br/>Daphne does have a playful side, and since she is used to the outdoors she would thrive in a home with a yard where she has space to feel safe to do her zoomies and lounge outside where she can sniff the wind, soak up the sun, and watch the squirrels with intense curiosity.<br/><br/>Daphne is heartworm positive, but don't let that stop you from adopting her! It is absolutely treatable and dogs go on to live happy, full lives! She has already received treatments and is improving with each day, showing more playfulness and energy. <br/><br/>If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle dog who wants to be your loyal companion, Daphne might be the perfect addition to your home.<br/><br/>If you’re interested in adopting Daphne, apply online at www.uppupandaway.org. Meet and greets only happen once approved as an adopter. If you’re already an approved adopter or foster, feel free to DM your interest.
