Story
Meet Daisy, a charming 1 year old pup with a heart full of love and a dash of spunky spirit in a delightfully compact size! At only 35 pounds, this small to medium-sized, mini heeler shepherd girl (that's our best guess) isn't expected to grow much bigger, making her the perfect companion for adventures big and small. Daisy came to us with a bad case of demodex mange but her fur grew in beautifully!
Daisy is a social butterfly who adores playing with other dogs, whether they're big or small. She's also a surprisingly tolerant housemate to cats, generally ignoring them unless they initiate a lively game of "run!" This curious girl loves to explore the world by your side and is always eager for new experiences, especially if they involve a car ride. As long as her human is nearby, Daisy is happy to go anywhere!
While her ears may or may not decide to stand up, Daisy's personality certainly shines. She can be a bit cautious around male strangers, responding with a bark or two, but once she trusts you, she transforms into the ultimate snuggle bug. Watch out for her inner "mountain goat" tendencies – no coffee table is too high if it means reaching a cozy lap for cuddles!
Daisy is incredibly smart and eager to please, making her a joy to train. She's highly treat-motivated and has already mastered "sit," "stay," "leave it," "down," and "touch" – though she'd love a family who will continue practicing with her. She's also a dream on the leash and doesn't pull, making walks a breeze. Daisy will need a fenced yard, likely at least 5 feet, and will do well with a guardian with working breed experience or someone eager to learn about working breed dogs!
Daisy would thrive in a home with an existing playful dog who can match her energy, or in a household where she can be the shining star, offering endless love and protective barks. While she hasn't had much experience with young children, her manageable size and eagerness to learn suggest she'd make a wonderful family dog for kids.
Are you ready to welcome this sweet, resilient, and playful pup into your home? Daisy can't wait to meet you!
