Daisy

Looking for the perfect dog? STOP -- look no further!!

Daisy has been a superstar in her foster home and quite possibly might be the perfect dog. She is equal parts couch potato snuggler and active dog adventurer.

She is one of the sweetest pups. She really is the perfect dog. Loves to play but loves to cuddle just as much. She is great with everyone- people, kids, other dogs. Sweet Daisy has it all.

She runs and plays with her foster's resident dog, and she loves to catch a tennis ball or chase it and bring it back to you. And she is just as happy to snuggle on the sofa for hours to watch a movie or game.

Traveling is no problem, as she easily settles into a car and enjoys being part of the adventure. She wants to stay close to her people or dog friends but has been excellent when she needs to spend time in a crate. This total sweetheart is ready to bring her loyal, joyful, mellow demeanor to a forever family.

From Daisy's foster Mom:

Daisy is starting to show more of her personality, and she is such a sweet, silly girl! She smiles when she couch surfs and gets belly rubs. She is happy snuggling on the couch, wrestling the resident dog, or going on walks and sniffing out her surroundings. She is really quick and can catch a ball no problem. She does like to be near me and really settles on the sofa when I am also there.

She is a wonderful traveler, relaxing in the car with no problem. She also sleeps well in her crate at night, after a few minutes of fussing about being in there at bedtime.

Daisy let me give her a bath on the way home right after she arrived from the shelter and didn't object at all to the process! That's a BIG deal after the incredibly stressful day of 12 hours of traveling that she had. She is working on her first chew right now and seems to enjoy it immensely.

She has been great with my resident dog. The only issue I see there is that they won't stop playing! I do put her in a large room on her own, so they can both get breaks. They trade off rolling on their backs with their belly up, so they are comfortable with each other--just need a break sometimes. I could see her doing great with other dogs or on her own.

Daisy does tire a bit when running, but I think that will change as she gets into better shape.

Daisy is seeking a forever home where she can thrive in a loving environment. Her ideal family would be one that appreciates the loyalty and affection she has to offer. Daisy's sweet demeanor makes her a great fit for households with children or other pets. Whether you're an active family looking for a new adventure buddy or someone seeking a loyal cuddle companion, Daisy is ready to be the perfect addition to your home.

If you're ready to open your heart and home to Daisy, please contact us at sheilamcgee2001@yahoo.com. Arrange a meet-and-greet to experience firsthand the love and joy this wonderful girl brings into any space.

Let's make Daisy's journey complete by finding her the loving forever home she deserves!
