About Daphne
Daphne is a striking looking, mature girl who just loves to be by her persons side as they go about their daily business. At 13, she’s well past the exuberance and high energy of a much younger dog. She’s always lived outside - but would love to be an indoor dog and share in her people's family life.
Daphne prefers to be the only dog in her home though she may be fine with another dog of similar size. We feel she’d be best suited to a home without small dogs or cats.
Daphne would love to live on a rural property - where there is plenty of space.
She’d be very happy as a companion to a single person or couple (BC’s do tend to bond quite closely with a person).
I am also looking for a foster carer who can care for Daphne while we find her the perfect home. It should not be a home with small dogs - and we also don't know how Daph will respond to cats. Please get in touch if you'd like to offer Daph a foster care placement.
Medical notes
Daphne is going deaf. She doesn’t respond to her name but does respond to a loud clap or whistle. She has just recently found her voice and started barking and this may be due to her loss of hearing. Some company inside, patience and working out why she is barking should see this problem resolve.
Adoption details
If you are interested in one of our dogs, please send us an email at: hopespringseternaldogrescue@gmail.com in the first instance telling us who you are interested in, and why. We will then send you an adoption application to complete.
At a minimum, we will expect that all of our dogs will be inside/outside dogs and will be treated as a valued member of the family.
If your family needs match the needs of the dog, we will call you to discuss further and arrange a time for you to meet the puppy you are interested in.
If this goes well and you are keen to proceed, we will organise a mutually convenient time with you to undertake a fence/home check - and for the dog you are interested in to meet the rest of the family - both human and other animals.
If you feel that you would like to add the dog to your family, we will ask you to pay the adoption fee and the dog will commence a 4 week trial period - for all of you (both humans and pets) to make sure that you will all be happy living together. We will check in on you during this time and will be available to respond to any concerns you may have during this period.
If everyone is happy at the conclusion of the trial, we will transfer the microchip and provide you with any medical records and information we have on the dog you have adopted.
We will take the dog back into care at any time - if things do not work out - and we appreciate that sometimes - they just don't - for a number of reasons.
We will ask for a happy snap of the dog with their new family members for our adoption gallery and will ask whether we can use that in promoting our rescue on Facebook, the Internet or other promotional materials.
We want the process of adoption to be a happy and exciting time for you and your potential new family member and will work with you to make the experience as positive as possible.
