Hello wonderful people let me tell you a little about myself. I was left in a desert on my own when I was still little but a nice lady saved me. I was so scared out there and didn’t know where to find food – she looked so sad when she saw how skinny I was!! I tried to let her know it was ok I was just so happy to see someone – I jumped right into her truck and she took me home. It was the best day ever!! She took me to her house and gave me food and water- I couldn’t believe how hungry and thirsty I was she just kept petting me and telling me I was ok now. It was awesome then she gave me a blanket so I could sleep – I was soo tired. In the mesa there are wild dogs and coyotes I was too scared to sleep so I slept a long time. Anyhow enough of that bad stuff…. you should see me now I am gorgeous with a buff body and shiny coat. I still get super excited meeting new people and animals but I just want to play and live my best life and let everyone know life is to be celebrated. My favorite game ever is fetch!!! I also like to play tug though.. I just love toys!!! Recently I even got to meet giant dogs the rescue lady called horses. I really wanted to play but they wouldn’t chase me no matter how many play bows I did trying to tell them I wanted them to chase me – they were boring so I just explored instead. I know to be soft and gentle with the smaller kids- last summer we shared their toys and played in a little swimming pool together -- they were so much fun. One of the smaller ones dropped her toy into the pool so I hopped right in to get it for her since she got sad she couldn’t reach it and then she started laughing. It was so nice that I got to help a wee one just like when my foster mom helped me!! My foster mom has taken me to other states to visit and she says I am a great traveler and everyone comments on how smart and well behaved I am. I love car rides and adventure. My ideal family would love to take me hiking and going on adventures but then curling up on the couch to watch a good show or whatever they want to do I am game. I am pretty easy like that – I just go with the flow. My foster mom and the rescue lady say I am a perfect dog and they just don’t understand why nobody wants me but I believe my forever family is out there- we just need to find each other and when we do it will be amazingly awesome!!! Please scroll down for the boring information about me the rescue lady said people might want to know.

Please be aware birthday and breeds listed are our best guesses based on looks and temperament

Estimated DOB 10/1/2022

Size – she weighed in at 57 lbs

History- This little girl was found in a mesa where she had been dumped. Everyone said she was scared, and she wouldn't let anyone near her however one of our friends who fosters a lot for us was able to pick her up. The original plan was to take her to a shelter but since they are all completely full and she felt bad dumping her off with the possibility of euthanasia she reported her to them and offered to hold her for the stray hold and look for her owner hoping she wasn't dumped. However, nobody was looking for her. So, we have agreed to try and find her a loving family who will not abandon her again.. 

Temperament- Super sweet, very smart, loves attention, and tries really hard to do what is expected of her. Has learned some basic commands and is just a really, really sweet girl.

Energy Level- She is high energy so would do best with an active family and/or with a high energy dog. However, she would be fine as an only dog as well as long as she gets lots of exercise to tire her out.

Dogs/Cats- Super playful with everyone she meets. Some dogs seem a bit intimidated with her eagerness so she would do best with a confident, playful dog that she can rough house with. She probably shouldn't be around cats..

Kids/People- Good with everyone she meets. Has met small children from 2-10 years old and is very gentle with them. She can be very rambunctious and loves to rough house though with adults or bigger teens. She barks a warning and looks intimidating when strangers approach the fence or door so if someone was thinking of breaking in they would think again not knowing if the dog on the other side of the door was friendly or not..  

Commands/Obedience Level- Daisy knows some basic commands and is very well behaved overall she just gets super excited and has the zoomies sometimes. Daisy is accustomed to traveling in vehicles and makes a great traveling companion.

Housetrained/Crate Trained- She is using a dog door with no accidents. She is also perfect in the crate.

Adoption fee $200 includes spay, rabies, age appropriate vaccinations, microchip,  collar and leash, and all the support you need.

More about this rescue

We are a newly formed rescue in Peralta, NM. We are still very small and currently in process of getting our 501c3 tax exempt status.It is mainly just myself, my two daughters and a small group of volunteers. We only take in animals from shelters who are scheduled to be put down. All animals are housed in my home and on my property. We started this rescue due to the simple fact that there are so many wonderful dogs dying everyday at the shelters because there just isn't enough room.We do not discriminate against any breed. Every dog has the potential to be a great family pet, working dog, or therapy dog- just as every dog has the potential to become a "dangerous dog" due to the simple fact that they all (or most anyway) have teeth and can bite when provoked or trained to obey their owners commands.
We do it for the love of the animals and the need to find forever homes for the ones impounded due to no fault of their own.
