My personality

My story

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

Meet Daisy, a charming 1-year old pup with a heart full of love and a dash of spunky spirit in a delightfully compact size! At only 35 pounds, this small to medium-sized, mini heeler shepherd girl (that's our best guess) is the perfect companion for adventures big and small.

Daisy is a social butterfly who adores playing with other dogs, whether they're big or small. She's also a surprisingly tolerant housemate to cats, generally ignoring them unless they initiate a lively game of "run!" This curious girl loves to explore the world by your side and is always eager for new experiences, especially if they involve a car ride. As long as her human is nearby, Daisy is happy to go anywhere!

While her ears may or may not decide to stand up, Daisy's personality certainly shines. Watch out for her inner "mountain goat" tendencies – no coffee table is too high if it means reaching a cozy lap for cuddles!

Daisy is incredibly smart and eager to please, making her a joy to train. She's highly treat-motivated and has already mastered "sit," "stay," "leave it," "down," and "touch" – though she'd love a family who will continue practicing with her. She's also a dream on the leash and doesn't pull, making walks a breeze.

Daisy would thrive in a home with an existing playful dog who can match her energy, or in a household where she can be the shining star, offering endless love. While she hasn't had much experience with young children, her manageable size and eagerness to learn suggest she'd make a wonderful family dog for kids who are ready to embrace the responsibilities of pet guardianship.

Are you ready to welcome this sweet, resilient, and playful pup into your home? Daisy can't wait to meet you! To meet her in person, please fill out an adoption application.

All dogs are in foster homes -- meet-and-greets are by appointments and interested parties must fill out the application first. We do have adoption events once every few months.
