Pet of the Week – Daphne

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Not too big, not too small, but just right.

Yup, that’s me, Daphne. I’m a spayed Shiba Inu blend. I weigh 34-pounds and would fit into just about any family. 

At nine-years-old, I still look pretty good and if you think I’m slowing down some, you’re wrong. I have plenty of years left. Many of my kind live 12 to 15 years old! 

But if you still don’t believe me, find a tennis ball. You’ll see my get up and go then. We can have endless fun!

See me for yourself at County Animal Services located at 2481 Palomar Airport Road in Carlsbad. If you want to take me home, my adoption fee is $35 and includes a microchip, vaccinations and a free veterinary examination. For more information, call (619) 767-2675 or visit sddac.com.
