My story

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

Meet Daisy - a fun-loving and athletic dog looking for her forever home.  Could it be with you?  Daisy is packed with energy, personality and endearing qualities that will make her the perfect companion for a family willing to invest the time into a special dog.  Her owners made the difficult decision to rehome Daisy, knowing she needed more time than they could provide with a young, growing family. Daisy is currently residing in a volunteer-foster home through Animal Advocates. 

Daisy is a young adult hound-mix, approximately 55lbs, and is quite athletic for her size, with long legs that give her impressive jumping and agility skills. She has an incredible ability to stand straight up like a person without any support - a talent that never fails to amaze! Daisy might be an excellent candidate for agility training as a hobby, as both a great outlet for her energy and an opportunity to bond with her new family.

Daisy's favorite activities include daily walks, rolling on her back in the grass (a simple pleasure that brings her great joy), squeaker toys and belly rubs.  When she's happily playing with her toys, Daisy makes adorable little chirping sounds, adding to her unique charm.  She enjoys playing with balls and toys, both chasing and tug-of-war, and particularly likes puzzle toys filled with treats.  Daisy is an affectionate companion who loves being petted and will politely ask for belly rubs. 

Daisy is house-trained and crate-trained. She can be trusted alone in the house for several hours, though the crate is her “safe” spot and she comfortably and willingly spends time in it. Daisy knows basic commands, rides comfortably in a car and takes regular, daily walks on a leash for exercise. 

Daisy displays “friendly over-excitement” with all new things! Daisy can be vocal and pull on the leash, especially when visiting with new people or other dogs, but she is responsive to positive reinforcement and redirection.  Daisy recently spent time at "camp" with our friends at Parkway Pet Lodge for a week-long training program.  Daisy made doggy friends and made great progress sharpening her basic obedience skills and leash manners.  She can't wait to show off her new tricks! She's friendly with everyone and loves to play once guests are inside and the interactions with other dogs are positive and monitored.  She has not been observed around cats and has been known to chase.  Proper introductions with any resident animals, new situations and new people are always a must.  

We imagine Daisy would be a perfect fit and thrive with an active family (adult-only or with older kids only) who can provide daily exercise and appropriate outlets for her energy. Time spent outside walking, soaking in the fresh air in her own yard, and lots of belly rubs from her people would be Daisy’s ideal. Daisy has shown improvement with consistent, positive training.  She would do best with experienced owners who can help her continue this training and socialization around other animals. Daisy will surely reward her new family with unwavering loyalty, affection and companionship.

Daisy is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccinations, preventatives and tested negative for heartworm.  Her most recent exam was in July 2025.  She has a record of a continuity of veterinarian care and, as per the vet, is an overall healthy dog. Her date of birth is April 2021. 

If you are interested in adopting Daisy, the first step is to complete an online application at animaladvocates.net (under the "Adopt" menu). Please review all adoption guidelines and complete all questions on the application.  Thank you for considering a rescue dog from Animal Advocates and helping Daisy find her perfect match!

Additional adoption info

Adoption Guidelines:

- You must be 21 years or older.
- All animals in your home must be up-to-date on vaccinations and spayed / neutered.

- We do not place animals as gifts for others.
- Adopted animals must be kept as indoor companions.

We aim to provide high quality care for the well-being of rescued cats and dogs until they are placed in forever homes. All animals are regularly vet checked, fully vaccinated, spayed / neutered and microchipped. They are routinely treated for fleas and worms as well as any medical issues.

Except for a limited number of cats fostered at our headquarters, our adoptable animals are cared for in loving volunteer foster homes. We get to know the pets’ personalities and needs very well, striving to make the best possible match for both animals and adopters.
