With her unique coloring—a beautiful brown coat complemented by a striking white chest and an adorable black snout—Tilapia is truly a treasure. While she may be a bit shy at first, her gentle spirit and playful personality shine through with patience. She enjoys cozy cuddles, leisurely strolls, and discovering new fishy adventures. Tilapia is looking for a loving home where she can feel safe to show her true colors. If you’re ready to cast your line for a loyal companion, Tilapia is waiting just for you!

Story
Daisy is a beautiful, healthy 11yr old with stunning blue eyes. She is a 70lb gentle, sweet natured dog. She will just soak up all the attention, hugs, love and cuddles from everyone she meets. Daisy loves her catmates but has developed a serious jealous "attention aggression" toward her smaller dog housemates, which is why we are forced to make some hard decisions. Daisy needs a loving home as an only dog where she can live out her golden years in quiet comfort. If you are looking for a loyal, affectionate companion, then Daisy is definitely the one for you. She will fill your home and heart with nothing but pure joy.Daisy is heartworm negative and up-to-date on all her vaccines. She has also had DNA testing done, that reveals her family history as Border Collie, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Alaskan Malamute, Boxer mix. Willing to transport a distance for the right match!Update: Owner agreed to extend deadline to 07/31. Please allow Daisy a place in your heart and in your home.
