Daffy is a young Coonhound in training. She needs a very experienced family home(older children OK). At this time she needs to continue to work on her manners as can get mouthy and jumpy. She is an absolutely sweetheart with her humans and wants to be around them always. Sadly, a good Samaritan witnessed Daffy come out from the bushes in one of the local Burnaby Parks. She seemed like she may have been homeless for awhile due to some lacerations on her legs. She was immediately taken to a vet clinic to see to the injuries. Through it all she remained friendly and affectionate. Daffy has a story to tell and is very vocal with her constant baying. Being a hound dog, her nose is always to the ground searching mainly for food. She is such a high energy excitable girl, that her new owners need to match her activity level. Keeping her busy, is the key to keeping her happy. Activities like scent work games, agility and regular trips to the dog park where she can explore and use her nose. Daffy enjoys the company of other dogs but slow and proper introductions are recommended. She does not live well with cats and will need an adult only or older children only home.
