Story
**This is a courtesy post, this dog is NOT in the care of Bradford's Second Chance Rescue**
Daisy is a 6-year-old spayed Australian Shepherd who is fully vaccinated, healthy, and has no known veterinary concerns. She is currently being fostered by us after we took her in from a family member who was no longer able to keep her.Daisy is an extremely sweet, affectionate, and people-oriented dog. She thrives on companionship and loves to be near her people. She is very loving, seeks out attention, and forms strong bonds with the people she trusts. She wants to be included in daily life and is happiest when she is spending time with her family.Daisy does have some behavioral challenges that potential adopters should be aware of. She can be reactive toward other dogs, particularly unfamiliar dogs, and has shown possessive behaviors around toys and food. Because of this, we believe Daisy would do best as the only dog in the home. We also recommend an adult-only home where her environment can be more predictable and her boundaries can be respected.Daisy’s previous environment likely contributed to some of these challenges. She was often tied up indoors or allowed to roam off-leash outside with little structure or training and was expected to act as a guard dog. She was surrendered due to an incident where she nipped at an Amazon driver. She has never inflicted a serious bite, and the behavior appeared consistent with her herding instincts combined with a lack of training and appropriate management.Since being in our care, Daisy has made significant progress. We have potty trained her and begun basic obedience training, and she responds very well to consistency, routine, and clear expectations. She is intelligent, eager to learn, and benefits greatly from structure.Daisy would do best in an active home with someone who understands herding breeds and is committed to continuing her training. She needs daily exercise, mental stimulation, and regular engagement with her people. She is not a dog who will thrive if left alone for long periods or without adequate outlets for her energy and intelligence.We are working to find Daisy the right permanent home where she can continue to grow and succeed. We are happy to answer questions, share what we have learned about her, and help ensure she is matched with an adopter who understands her needs and is prepared to provide the structure, patience, and commitment she deserves.Daisy is a loving, loyal dog who deserves a stable, patient, and engaged adult home where she can thrive as the center of someone’s world.
