Meet An Adoptable Dog

Date into Rescue: 4/2/2021

Reason for being in rescue: Daffee arrived in rescue as part of a hoarding case through a rural shelter. She was adopted but returned in January 2025 when life changed for her owners and they could no longer care for her.

Special Needs: Daffee is spayed and up to date on all vaccines. She had a dental on 5/19/21 and lost 4 teeth. She also had a cherry eye repaired. Daffee arrived in rescue with heartworms and was treated on 6/8/2021. Daffee is currently heartworm negative. She MUST be on regular, monhtly heartworm prevention for life. Daffee has a grade 3/6 heart murmur. She is not currently on medicine; this will require continued monitoring. 

What kind of home would be best for me: First and foremost, Daffee is looking for a home with her another small, calm dog. She craves and seeks the comfort of a canine friend. This is non-negotiable for her. Daffee is suitable for a home or an apartment and would do well with a family or single adopters and prefer humans who are home more than they are away. She’s an easy going, mature dog who needs gentle, calm owners who keep treats on deck! She is very sweet and curious, and loves to prance around with her tiny little feet. 

What is my personality like: Meet Daffee! An adorable, tiny Chihuahua who is a 5lb powerhouse packed with sass, charm and so much personality! She runs on equal parts love, snacks, and pure determination! Daffee is not interested in the whole platonic soulmate type-of-thing, she’s a “down to earth” kind of gal and she’s ready for the real thing! Daffee prefers to live in style, preferably with humans who understand that she’s the queen and this is her kingdom!

Daffee is a very independent girl who loves all types of treats, playing with other small dogs and basking in the sun. Her hobbies include judging you from the comfort of her cozy blanket, demanding snacks with her “feed me” stare, and sitting on your lap serving as your own personal heater! She is a pocket-sized princess who is a foodie and celebrity (in her opinion) and she desperately needs at least one human devoted to worshiping her.

Here is what Daffee's previous owners had to say about her..."BG (Beegee) or baby girl. She is a sweet old soul. You will know when she has found her person (she chooses them not the other way around) by her carrying a sock of theirs around whimpering then burying it somewhere such as in a dog bed or behind pillows on the bed. She is not a lover of walks. She enjoys a cruise instead in a stroller with the wind in her hair. She will do a happy little dance when she is put in her safe space which is usually the bed her owner sleeps in or the couch. She loves to lay around and be with her person wherever they are."

If you’re looking for endless love and entertainment, look no further!

How do I act when I first meet new people: Daffee can be a little reserved at first and will sort of avoid you until you have something yummy to offer! But if you have treats and remain calm and patient she will surely open up to you. S

Tips and Tidbits: Daffee's estimated birthday is 3/25/2018

House trained: Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule as long as a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained.  A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.

Please note - we do not ship or transport our dogs. If you are interested in adopting a dog, take a look at the distance between the dog's location and your location and make sure you are able to make the trip.

Thank you for your interest in a dog who needs a new home. This description contains all that we currently know about this dog. We have no perfect dogs - but many of our dogs have proven to be perfect for a certain someone. We urge all of our potential adopters not to fall in love with a picture. When screening applications, we look at the entire home and then make suggestions based on what would be a good fit for your home. You are not being screened for a specific dog although we are looking to see what type of dog interests you - poodles or non poodles, age, temperament, personality, etc. Our goal is to match you with the best possible pet for you and your home. We want to create furever families.
