My name is Daisy!

Poor Daisy was dumped across the street from her foster moms’ house on Easter Sunday. They watched the car drive away with her chasing behind, but she gave up pretty quickly and started sniffing around to try to figure out where she was. Daisy’s panic was cut short when her foster moms scooped her up and took her to their home. 

She was skin and bones, all ribs, hips, and vertebra plainly visible, with scabs and sores all over. She tested positive for heartworm and hookworm. Her foster moms are working closely with their vet to get her healthy for her forever home. 

Daisy is a big girl - at 50 lbs emaciated, she’ll likely be 70-80 once she’s filled out. She is estimated to be 4-5 years old. 

She quickly fell in love with her foster moms and wants to be as close to them as possible at all times. She’s working on the concept of “personal space” but hasn’t quite grasped it yet. 

She gets along well with the resident cats but needs to be leashed around the outside animals (chickens, goats, horses, etc). 

She can be dog reactive so needs a home without other dogs and to be walked in areas with low dog traffic. 

Because she was starved, she does have some resource guarding issues with food and currently needs to be fed in a crate.

She walks amazingly on a loose leash. 

She house trained and is working on crate training. 

She has not yet been tested with children but with proper introduction, her foster moms expect she would be fine, though she might knock them over trying to get pets. As underweight as she is, she’s still pretty strong! 

Daisy loves tug of war and is learning about every other way she can have fun. We’ll continue to update her bio as we get to know her better.
