My story

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

Daphne our dear sweet girl is a long hair Chihuahua - Pekinese mix ready for a home and family to call her own!

Initially, Daphne displayed fear aggressive behavior due to being undersocialized as a Covid puppy - who likely lived with only one person and didn't get much interaction with the outside world or with strangers She was also very likely abused as she has displayed ducking behavior from hands and feet in some instances.

HOWEVER, after several months in our board members home, Daphne has truly turned a corner when it comes to her fear. She will now greet seated guests well, seeking pets and has done extremely well going into new homes and around other dogs. It will take someone with patience to show her she is in a safe space with safe people to win her full trust, but she is so different than the dog that came into our rescue! We are really proud of her and how well she is doing now!

In a new home, Daphne will still need time to decompress without pressure and work with her so she can show how she will blossom into the loving, fun and playful sweetheart she has shown us she can be with her accepted people.

Daphne will be adopted to ADULT ONLY homes - due to her fear. She is great with other dogs after proper introduction and taking it slow, but she will require a home with Dog savvy confident cats, she will chase, but it does appear it is out of curiosity as opposed to wanting to attack.

Daphne originally came to us thru our partners at Regional Animal Services of King County due to the overcrowding of too many abandoned animals coming into the shelter. Under our care Daphne has been Spayed, had a complete Dental, along with Microchip and updated vaccinations, she is 100% healthy and ready for her forever home!!

Daphne has a sponsored adoption fee for a $500 discount, her adoption fee is only $150!

If you're looking for a loving companion who enjoys both cuddle time and playtime, Daphne can be that dog, with a heart full of love and a playful spirit, this affectionate little lady is not only great on a leash but also loves to play fetch and has a special talent for finding the squeaker in her toys. She's ready to bring joy, laughter, and endless love to her new people.
