DAPHNE - Yorkshire Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Richmond, California

Small dog with a big personality! Daphne is a happy dog who's often enthused about life. She will thrive off attention and love to keep her family entertained and be the star of the show.

She loves to play, and will be happy to take part in a quick game of fetch - but that will almost always be followed up with a desire for a cuddle (and maybe a nap on the couch).

She will quickly attach to her family, and will happily spend the day following her "people" around the home. Daphne is happy to see anyone, and will greet both friends and strangers with the same enthusiasm.


Ideal environment
Since Daphne is such a small dog, she doesn't need a lot of exercise. She loves to run, but that can be accomplished in a yard... or by running circles inside. Let's just say she's highly adaptable.

Puppies require someone home every two hours during this critical year of growth. Please think long and hard for adding a puppy as it is a 13+ year commitment.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
