Adopted April 7, 2007

Daphne was a sweetheart of a dog. She had crate-trained easily. We leash walked her several times daily without any trouble. She was an angel to walk and sat patiently at the door for her leash to be put on. She adored the family and was quick to warm up.


A special thank you goes out to Daphne's sponsors: Rebecca Kuk in loving memory of her beloved Oscar the GSD. Bob Krejci in honor of Minca. Jane Nadelson. Ivan Manley. Lori Broach in honor of Leia's 6th birthday. Cheryl Smith in honor of King. Kristina Sturwold in memory of Taz.
