Here's what the humans have to say about me:
"Daisy" is a 60- lb, approx 1 1/2-yo spayed female Husky/GSD who is mellow, affectionate and playful. Daisy is healthy and UTD on core vaccinations.
Daisy is friendly with all people and I'm sure she'd be great with young children. She will likely NOT make a great watchdog as she is not very vocal and has more of a happy-go-lucky Husky personality than a protective GSD personality.
Daisy does great w/ the other dogs here at GSRSV's rescue ranch. (See elsewhere on this page for a video of Daisy romping around w/ the other dogs.) Her one down side w/ other dogs is that she occasionally exhibits food-aggression when competing for free-for-all biscuits. However, she responds very quickly to verbal corrections. She likes to be chased by other dogs, but is also fairly independent.
I have not observed Daisy around cats, but due to her strong prey drive for little critters I will NOT consider a home with cats for her.
Daisy is completely housetrained and perfectly behaved inside. She has not had a single accident at my place. Daisy is NOT a fence-jumper, and the 5' fence in my backyard contains her fine when I'm gone. She also has access to the house via a dog door 24/7.
Daisy walks great on a leash--she's super-easy. She also appears to have received some basic obedience training and knows a few commands.
Daisy enjoys car rides and is a very calm passenger.
I haven't observed Daisy playing with any toys, but that could well change once she does not have so many dogs to compete with. She likes to spend time out in the fields hunting for rodents or chasing birds. Daisy also loves to swim and splash in ponds.
A woman in Merced (Natalie) found Daisy on March 7 in traffic in front of her house. Though Daisy was very scared and cautious, Natalie was able to draw her in with food. Because Natalie has several cats and no place to house Daisy separately, she had to call animal control to pick up Daisy.
Natalie visited Daisy a couple of times at the Merced County Shelter, where and Daisy was friendly and inquisitive. Natalie knew Daisy's chances of getting adopted were slim due to the large number of Husky & Husky mixes at the shelter and few adoptions, so she reached out to local rescue groups.
After coming up empty-handed with local rescue groups, Natalie contacted GSRSV. Though I had no plans to pull any shelter dogs, I was impressed w/ Natalie's dedication to saving Daisy. I told Natalie that if she adopted Daisy (so that she would be spayed upon leaving the shelter) and transported her to my rescue ranch, I'd take Daisy in. Natalie jumped on this offer and brought Daisy to the rescue ranch on 3-21-23.
Daisy is located in Pleasant Grove, CA. Her adoption fee is $300.
