My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This animal is NOT available through Brother Wolf Animal Rescue. This is a courtesy listing only, so you will need to contact the current owner for more information or to adopt.

PLEASE CONTACT THE OWNER: call or text: (207) 232-2708

Hi there! Thanks for your interest in this sweet girl Daisy. Daisy is just over five years old, a perfect size at just under 40 pounds, and up to date medically. She is (so far) a very loyal pup who loves her person, is medium/high energy, loves cuddles, and will make a great adventure dog.

I adopted Daisy from Brother Wolf about five weeks ago and while I adore her, she is not meshing well with my current dog and is also more high energy than is a good fit for me. She and my dog are polar opposites in all kinds of ways, though I do think she would do great in a home with a medium/high energy dog who is confident and will set good boundaries with her because she can be a bit of a rascal. I don't know for sure, but it seems she is some kind of cattle dog mix and she definitely has some of those breed typical traits: a bit of herding, captain of squirrel observation, a very enthusiastic playmate, and loyal as the day is long. She also LOVES to play fetch, go for walks (would enjoy a much faster pace than my hound dog's current sniff and stroll), is great on runs and hikes/trail walks, and really just wants you to be in her sightline most of the time. She also enjoys going to the local coffee shop and sitting in the sun on the patio.

She is crate trained. She sleeps in her crate, and currently takes naps in there too. She loves to chew her toys, and loves to sit on my patio and monitor the neighborhood. She does well on a leash, though she does pull sometimes when she spots a squirrel that she would like to more closely inspect. She corrects pretty easily but can become fixated and will need an alert owner. I think she would thrive in a home with a yard where she can run around, monitor the squirrels, chase a ball, maybe play with an active dog-pal, and take walks or runs with an active owner or family.

She is super sweet to people, though nervous at first and does need a confident owner who will work with her on some of her insecurity. She is not very interested when we meet other dogs on walks and does best when she can keep her distance and just walk on by.

I don't know if she's lived with cats, the original posting from Brother Wolf didn't say, but I would guess that a cat might not be the best fit for her. Also, not sure if she has lived with children.

She is really a pretty amazing pup and I'm sad to discover that she's not the right fit for me and my current dog, but I just know there's a great future for her with another wonderful person! Please reach out with any questions, I really want to make sure Daisy goes to the right home where all her sweetness and spiciness can thrive.
