Meet Daisy, the charming 5-year-old lab mix with striking Dalmatian-like markings that set her apart from the crowd. Daisy's playful demeanor and energetic spirit make her a joy to be around, whether she's chasing after a ball or engaging in a spirited game of fetch. Her affectionate nature shines through in her love for cuddles, although she's sensitive about her feet and prefers not to be restrained. Daisy is a quick learner, excelling at commands like sit and shake with ease, she's mostly housebroken and would thrive with daily walks. Due to her tendency to become overstimulated during play, Daisy would thrive best in a home without other animals or children. Daisy is familiar with crates, and will need plenty of toys or puzzles to keep her entertained. If you're in search of a loyal and playful companion to brighten your days, Daisy is ready and waiting to become your new best friend. Come meet her today and discover the love and laughter she has to offer!

More about this shelter
For over 60 years, the Animal Protective League has been the voice for animals in Springfield and Sangamon County. APL operates a limited admission animal shelter and a high-volume, low-cost spay/neuter clinic along with comprehensive animal-welfare programs. APL is a private, not-for-profit organization and operates primarily by donations.
APL's limited admission animal shelter prioritizes intake by sick, injured, abused and abandoned dogs and cats. APL strives to match animals with carefully screened, loving, permanent owners. All animals leave our shelter spayed or neutered, microchipped, and with all age appropriate vaccinations. Over 2000 deserving dogs and cats are placed in homes every year! APL also has an active group of foster families who provide interim homes until space is available at our shelter.
APL's Spay/neuter clinic performs over 12,000 spay/neuter surgeries every year. In addition to the public, we work with other animal shelters, animal control agencies and animal welfare groups within a 30-mile radius of Springfield. Our free transport system picks up animals from various locations and transports them to our facility for surgery and then returns the animals the following day. This allows many other organizations to have access to low-cost spay/neuter services for their own animals as well as animals in their communities. We currently work with 31 partners in 18 surrounding counties.
