Daphne

My story

Daphne is a 3.5–4-month-old female Pit Bull pup with short, dark brown fur and an adventurous spirit. Daphne is curious and bold — the kind of pup who doesn’t hesitate to explore the backyard or take a leap off a 2-foot wall if she sees something interesting!She’s crate-trained and settles in happily for naps and bedtime. While she’s still working on house-training, she’s a quick learner and thrives with structure. She’s not vocal, doesn’t bark when left alone, and so far hasn’t shown any separation anxiety — though as a young pup, she’ll need regular attention and potty breaks.Daphne gets along well with other dogs (she’s currently fostered with her sister, Delilah) and has shown calm curiosity around dogs outside the home. Her behavior around cats and kids is unknown.Daphne loves chewing on balls (though she hasn’t quite figured out the “fetch” part), wrestling with her sister, and soaking up belly rubs while lying in your arms like a baby. She may benefit from a fenced yard as she grows, especially given her adventurous side, but she’s also learning to walk on a leash. Daphne’s energy needs are still puppy-level — she’s only awake a few hours a day and doesn’t require heavy exercise yet.If you’re looking for a fearless, loving, and cuddly pup to grow with your family, Daphne might just be your perfect match!If you are interested in Daphne, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $550.
