About Daphne’s Breed:
Great Pyrenees are known for their calm, loyal, and nurturing personalities. Traditionally bred as livestock guardians, they’re gentle protectors who adore their families. Daphne embodies all of these traits—she’s devoted, steady, and happiest when she’s close to her people, soaking up love and giving it right back.
Daphne’s Story & Personality:
Daphne is a one-year-old sweetheart who has truly mastered the art of relaxation. She’s gentle, loving, and calm—content to curl up beside you, follow you around the house, or snooze peacefully on your bed at night. Though she’s still working on her house training, she’s eager to please and responds well to positive direction.
She’s great with other dogs, cats, and children, making her an ideal fit for a variety of homes. Daphne is crate trained (though she might give you a side-eye about going in sometimes), and she’d do best with either a fenced yard or plenty of long walks to stretch her legs and explore at her own pace.
Her foster mom describes her as “sweet, loving, easy-going, and happiest when she’s cuddling or getting attention.” She’s truly a gentle giant with a soft heart and a peaceful soul.
Daphne’s Ideal Home:
A loving family who appreciates a calm, affectionate companion
A home with space for her to stretch and relax
Someone who enjoys walks and cuddle sessions in equal measure
A family with other friendly pets or children would be a bonus
