Daphne

My story

Meet Daphne! A gentle eight-and-a-half-year-old Beagle mix from Greer, SC, whose heart is as soft as her floppy ears and whose loyalty runs as deep as her soulful eyes. Draped in a charming black coat with sweet white accents, Daphne is a devoted cuddle bug who dreams of nothing more than being your constant, cozy shadow. Daphne thrives in a peaceful home where someone is around most of the day—think remote workers, retirees, or anyone who enjoys quiet companionship. Her separation anxiety is a serious part of her story, and after months of behavioral work, training, and vet consultations, it’s clear that what she truly needs is a family who can provide consistent presence and soothing routines. When left alone, her distress can be intense, so she’s seeking a calm environment with patient, loving caregivers who understand her need for reassurance. In the right setting, Daphne is a gem! She’s well-mannered, fully house-trained, crate-trained, and knows a handful of commands like “sit,” “stay,” “heel,” and “bed.” She lives harmoniously with another dog and is wonderfully sweet with kids, showing a gentle and maternal side that wins hearts fast. While she's not the high-energy fetch-and-run type, she enjoys short strolls, light dog play, and working over her favorite nylabones or crinkle toys. Plushies? Not her thing—this lady prefers her chewables with a bit more texture and durability! Daphne does have a meat allergy—she’s allergic to all meat products and derivatives—but this is easily managed with non-prescription food and treats, which her current caregiver will gladly help transition. She’s in good health, spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines. What makes Daphne truly special is how much love she has to give. She’s a shadow, a snuggle buddy, a quiet presence at your feet or on your couch, and she’s ready to offer that deep, loyal companionship to someone who can give her the stability she needs. Could your calm, loving home be the soft landing Daphne’s been searching for? To learn more or begin the adoption journey, reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com!
