ADOPTED ON 01-17-15 - Daisy Mae is a 2 year old female Border collie/ Springer Spaniel Mix. She is approximately 48lbs, spayed and up to date on all vaccinations, and in excellent health. She was given to her owners by their granddaughter. Unfortunately, Daisy Mae's current owners are elderly and due to their ailing health they are no longer able to care for her. This was a heartbreaking decision for them because they love her so much, and they want to make absolutely sure she goes to a home that will provide everything she needs.
Daisy Mae has a very high energy level and is extremely active. She loves playing with her toys and playfully tossing them up in the air. She is very friendly with other dogs. Her behavior with cats is unknown. Daisy Mae has not been around children, but is very friendly with people. She may do well with older children, as in her exuberance she can be a little jumpy. This behavior can be easily managed with a little work and consistency. Daisy Mae does well in crate. She needs a little work with house training as she has live outside on and off. Daisy Mae does well in the car, and was generally crated when riding in the vehicle. She has no known fears, and does not appear phased by thunderstorms or loud noises. Daisy Mae still needs a little work with her leash skills. Feeding Daisy Mae has proved to be a bit challenging, as her current owners have to switch her food frequently when she becomes bored and refuses to eat.
The ideal home for Daisy Mae would be one with a fenced in yard so she would have a secure place to run and burn off some energy. Her new owner should be someone who is committed to providing her with the exercise she needs to match her activity level, and also provide her with lots of love and attention. Her ideal new owner would be someone who is willing to take her on several walks or runs per day. There are also many activities out there such as: Fly ball, Frisbee and Agility that would be excellent in helping provide Daisy Mae with the mental and physical stimulation she needs. If her new home were to include children it is recommended that they were over the age of 7, as she becomes very excited when meeting new friends. Are you an active person looking for a friend to join you on your next adventure? If so, Daisy Mae is the girl you have been waiting for!!

About Our Rescue
These dogs deserve all of our attention, and in Rescue Dog Village, we are committed to our adopters and our dogs equally. We offer full disclosure and hope to make the best matches possible. Please know our adoption fees never cover our expenses. We rely on the generosity of our adopters and supporters to help us help the dogs.
Our rescue is ONLY in the business of offering FULL DISCLOSURE to adopters, and expects and hopes to engage your questions and concerns fully. We owe it to the dogs we rescue and all the wonderful families/adopters who might consider welcoming our charges into their hearts and home. Our dogs are waiting for that ideal forever home where they will be cherished as deserving family members. It's sad these second chances are even necessary for these dogs, but we are committed to them and will devote the time and energy to their rehoming, and not just MOVE them to save more dogs. We diligently and responsibly seek good matches as we don't want to re-home the dog again. These animals have already endured more than they should have, and through no fault of their own. It behooves us to be honest and forthright, and we appreciate the same in return from applicants. It's that winning combination of reciprocal trust and respect that allows for successful placements to be made. Happy adopters translate to happy dogs, and that's our goal!
Our rescue volunteers will be more than honored to be in touch with you directly and promptly, after receiving your application and conducting a mandatory a veterinarian check. If you have never owned a dog before, please submit your application regardless, and we will be in touch with you as soon as possible.

Also, take care to contact your veterinarian to let them know a member of rescue will be inquiring about your pet history!
Thank you for respecting that we all donate our time to saving these animals, and understand we value your philanthropic and compassionate desire to help be part of the rescue team. That said, you'll understand why we are committed to the well-being of our charges and consider this veterinarian check mandatory. If you are a first-time dog owner, we will work with you every step of the way! ADVOCACY AND EDUCATION ARE AS MUCH A PART OF RESPONSIBLE RESCUE AS ADOPTION! And it takes a RESCUE VILLAGE to help the most dogs possible in a thorough manner to ensure success on all fronts, and then some! It is an awful feeling to fail a dog, and we can't continue rescue if we don't do everything we can to ensure good matches for the dogs and tender families who might adopt them. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.
Although we are an extremely small rescue group, we understand and respect your family's eagerness to be in touch and learn as much as you can about the dogs you are considering adopting. Our very experienced and devoted trainer will be happy to share all aspects of OUR RESCUE DOGS to determine compatibility once you've submitted your application, and another of our volunteers will explain the whole process of our rescue and answer any questions you might have as well
