Story
Adoption Fee Sponsored by the ASPCA The Rescue Effect Daisy is a beautiful Shepherd mix (our best guess) with a gentle heart and a loyal spirit. She is about 2 years old. She may be a little shy when you first meet her, but don't let her quiet nature fool you, once she trusts you, she'll be your most devoted companion. Daisy forms deep bonds with her people and loves knowing she's safe with someone she can count on. Daisy enjoys the company of larger dogs and may do well with a canine companion her size. However, she would do best in a home without small animals. She's looking for a patient family who will give her the time and understanding she needs to settle in and let her sweet personality blossom. If you're searching for a loving, faithful best friend who will be by your side through every adventure, Daisy may be the perfect match.
