SORRY DAISY WAS ADOPTED We are now accepting applications for our sweet girl Daisy Mae. She has quite a story and has been through so much. We received an urgent plea from a county shelter to save her. Poor Daisy was a stray in a neighborhood for weeks and the saddest part is she was born with luxating patella's aka her knees were out of the joint. It was so painful to watch her even walk when we rescued her. The fact this scared dog was a stray with this deformity broke our heart. Fast forward to today our rescue paid to have her surgery done and it was a success. Daisy is doing great is no and is no pain anymore and very happy Daisy is nervous at first and is a typical chihuahua, fearful at first and then strongly protective and loving. Daisy loves to cuddle on our extra large pet bed we have. She is healthy and loves our foster dad dearly. We are looking for that special perfect family with a fenced in yard and love and empathy for our girl Daisy to give her a forever home. Daisy is estimated to be about 3 years and is 14lb. Daisy is a female tri color chihuahua mix. She is spayed, up to date on all her shots, heartworm flea preventatives, dewormed and microchipped!  Please only apply if you are willing to be patient and let her decompress. Daisy is the definition of perseverance and hope. We love her so much and we know you'll love her too Daisy is housetrained and great with dogs and cats. Daisy's adoption donation is only 300.00! Are you the one for Daisy Mae? All adoptions include 30 days pet health insurance, dog food, harness, leash and lifetime training tips

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Coco (Coco Bean) is shy gentleman. He is blind in one eye and possibly has limited vision in the other eye. Coco would do best in a home with another dog to help with his confidence.  He is a total sweetheart and is still learning to accept love and affection. He wants to be in the same room with his person, and likes to cuddle and sleep on a pilllow.    When company visits, he hides but quickly warms if they don’t make any sudden moves.   Coco loves to go on walks! In fact, he barks with excitement when he knows it is time to go for a walk. He likes to walk in quieter areas because noises can make him nervous.  With love and patience, Coco will develop a deep bond with a person and give them unconditional love. Won't you give this sweet boy a home?    #AdoptDontShop #SeniorDogsRule#BeagleLove #Fosteringsaveslives Adopters age 65 and over who adopt senior dogs (age 8 and older) pay a special adoption fee of $100.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 8, 2025, 12:12 pm
