Daphne

My story

Hi, I’m Daphne! I’m a 2-3 year old, 75 lb, Great Dane/labrador mix. I’m a lean, sweet, loving machine. A real dog’s dog.I’m told there’s a lot to like about me. I’m a big cuddler and love spending time with my humans. One of my favorite things when I get out of my crate each morning is to do my patented Dane lean against my people and get their scratches. I’ll always greet you at the door with a full body wag to welcome you home. In fact, I’m a bit of a Velcro dog and like to see what you’re up to. Oh, you’re going to the bathroom? Great, I’ll walk you there! I love the end of the day when we meet on the couch to watch movies. I’ll either steal the blankets or become one, depending on the day. Even though I’m tall, I don’t countersurf, and I don’t drool either. I’ve never had an accident in the house, and I’ll let you know when I need to go outside. Everywhere I go people compliment my shiny black coat. I love food, treats, and pleasing my people, which means I’m happy to train and learn from you. I’ve gone to some training classes and have had a lot of time recently to practice my moves: sit, down, stay, come, touch, and watch me. As I said, there’s a lot to like! I love people, dogs, car rides, walks, sticks, and toys. I like to exercise, like running around my yard and going for long walks. I’m quite an athlete, even though my people sometimes laugh at my more clumsy moments. I also go to daycare a couple of times a week and am an all-star there. I don’t live with children currently. I’m still learning my size, and I like to talk with my paws, so I may accidentally bump or bop you. I also don’t live with a cat or other smaller critters currently, but they can get my attention on walks, so they may not be the best bunkmates for me. My people are heartbroken to be looking for a new home for me: some of their favorite things about me are how affectionate, intuitive, and communicative I am. Unfortunately, their other dog and I are not a good combination. She’s older and prickly to begin with, and I think my upbeat energy bothered her. I can sometimes get worked up on walks. Things that move quickly and other dogs on leashes just get me excited! But with training I’ve already gotten a lot better, and now I can usually let bicyclists and runners go by me without barking. I'm still working on not reacting to other dogs, but I’ve improved there too. I’ve got all my shots and take my monthly preventatives. I would be a really great addition to many homes, so I hope you’ll ask to meet me!--------------------------------------------All our Warrior Dogs will have all age appropriate medical care and vaccines, a microchip, and spayed/neutered if the dog is over 6 months of age at the time of adoption.
