Daisy Ann is an absolute gem. She’s house trained, crate trained, walks beautifully on leash, knows her basic commands, and is more than ready to find her forever home — or a foster who can help her while she waits. Her prior foster mom says, “Daisy Ann is a beautiful dog. She’s protective, loyal, and absolutely adores her adult humans. She loves being near them, going on walks, and playing with toys.”Born in 2021 and 79 pounds, Daisy is a happy, bright, and food-motivated girl. She does well with calm dogs but is a bit shy and needs help building confidence — this is where her person comes in. She’s looking for a strong, active leader who will continue the great progress she’s made and show her she’s safe and loved.Daisy isn’t a fan of cats and would do best in a home with respectful kids over 10. If you’re ready to foster or adopt and help this sweet girl truly shine, please fill out an application today.February 9, 2026, 2:10 pm
