Story
Sweet Daisy is a truly top-of-the-line expert-level snuggle bug whose current mom describes her as “smart, sweet, and intuitive.” She loves going for a walk or getting a good belly rub about equally. She is fun outside and chill and relaxed inside – the perfect combination!
This very good girl is friendly with everyone she meets, including a friend’s young children. She may bark at visitors to the home but will then greet them nicely. When our volunteer met her, Daisy was instantly friendly – approaching in a loose, wiggly way and leaning in for petting.
Daisy sometimes gets a little excited when she sees other dogs, but her body language appears friendly and playful. But when given the chance to meet and play with another dog recently, Daisy did fantastic! She has a moderately rough housing/chasing play style and is great at taking turns. She is tolerant of some rudeness – when the other dog tried to hump her, she just sat down. So although Daisy’s current mom feels she would love to be the center of her person’s world, a home with another friendly dog may work for Daisy. Though she has not been around cats, Daisy has sometimes shown fairly strong interest in prey animals, such as squirrels, seen outside. So we recommend a home without cats or other small pets for Daisy.
Daisy is not comfortable in a crate. But that’s ok because she can be safely left uncrated when her family is away from home for 6–8 hours. She can be a bit nervous about thunder and fireworks but does fine if music drowns out the sounds.
This sweetie is about 7 years old and weighs around 70 lbs. She is completely housetrained, spayed, and up to date on all immunizations. Her teeth have been cleaned and though she has allergies, they are well managed with apoquel.
Why is such a great dog in need of a new home? Daisy was saved by her current family from a miserable living situation with a former neighbor who neglected and eventually abandoned her. She has been well-loved during her time with her current family. Sadly, the family’s other two dogs have been consistently aggressive toward Daisy, and it is just not working out. The family notes that Daisy has not ever been the aggressor, and in fact when she first met the family dogs, she wagged her tail happily at them, even adjusting her behavior and showing submission after their initial negative response. When finally attacked by the other dogs, Daisy did defend herself, but she was nevertheless still ready to try again to make friends with them and later did have a nice meetup with another dog. She’s been so resilient in the face of so much difficulty! We (FFOCAS) are helping her current family safely rehome her.
