Meet Daphne!

Daphne is a 10 year old Pekingese who came to our rescue in quite a state of physical neglect. She had thickly matted, filthy fur; long, twisted nails that grew into her toe pads and teeth in terrible condition. Once we had our sweet girl shaved down/bathed, she had surgery to remove countless painful teeth. She was feeling so much better, then unfortunately, presented suddenly with paralysis and required emergency surgery on her spine. After lots of rest and TLC, Daphne is walking (and running now!) like dogs half her age!

Through it all, Daphne has shown us that she is just a sweetheart who's only requests are for love, attention, and human affection. She lives harmoniously with the other dogs in her foster home and is just a doll. Who can resist that sweet squishy face?!
