Daphne Dupuy was rescued from a shelter in Louisiana that euthanizes by gassing. Ratbone Rescues could not allow this, as Daphne is one terribly sweet dog. She is a beautiful, ten month old Border Rat, or Border Collie/Rat Terrier mix, weighing in at 29 pounds. She is extremely clever and well socialized. She loves to play with toys and loves to be with the special people in her life. She could run and frolic all day, but she does know how to calm down, takes basic cues quickly. She also walks well on a leash. Daphne found the dog door herself on the first day in her foster home, and knew instinctively what it was for. She gets along very well with other dogs, but is frightened of the cat; she will approach, as she is very inquisitive, but then will whine and run in the other direction. There are no children to expose her to, but she is so gentle that we feel she would do well with children over five years of age. Daphne needs a home where she will be played with, and a fenced yard for her to run around in. Her fostermom feels she could also be a candidate for agility - with a little training.
