My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Daisy Mae, a 4 year old, 10 pound, spayed Shih Tzu mix, came to HFD a scared & anxious, but an ever so loving little girl. Daisy was treated for heartworm and also had a mammary cyst removed.

Daisy Mae will follow you around the house and sit and watch tv with you for hours. If you work from home she will quietly lay next to you while you work. She just adores her humans. At bedtime she snuggles in bed with her humans.

Daisy doesn't, however, like to be alone and will whine and bark for a bit when she's left at home.

Daisy Mae gets along great with the other small dogs in her foster home. She just pretty much ignores them.

Daisy loves to be out in the yard, so a small dog secure fenced yard would be best.

Have a garden? Daisy will gladly help you pick and eat some things before you have the chance. She enjoys self-picked fresh out of the garden strawberries and melons. Even though the garden has wire fencing around it she is always magically finding a way in. She is super smart. She seems to be able to get wherever she wants. Even with a secure fenced yard Daisy should not be out unattended.

Just a bit shy at first, so far Daisy has liked everyone she has met.

She should be good with respectful kids 8 and up.

Now when it comes to toys, Daisy Mae loves the soft ones. You will find her walking around carrying one of her favorites.

Daisy Mae is housetrained with reminders. She is also spayed & up to date on vaccinations as well as current on heartworm and flea prevention.

Daisy’s adoption fee is $495.

You must complete and submit an adoption application before a meeting with Daisy Mae can be scheduled. The application serves as a basis for a conversation.
If you believe this wonderful little girl is for you, then go to heathersfosterdogs.org to complete and submit your application. Using the menu at the top of the page, click on “Adoption Application.” Submit your completed application & you will be contacted.

Who We Look For

In short, Heather’s Foster Dogs is looking for responsible, dedicated, and loving pet owners for our foster animals. This means a couple of things:

-You feel that pets are an important part of the family. They do not spend their days and nights living outside in the yard, chained to a doghouse or locked up in a kennel. Pets belong safe and warm in your home.
-You understand that regular veterinary visits with a licensed veterinarian are important to maintaining the health and well being of your pet. This means regular exams, administering medication when prescribed, and keeping your pet up-to-date on vaccinations.
-You believe in POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT training only and will seek the help of an experienced professional trainer if necessary or recommended.
-You understand that adding a pet to your family is a commitment that should last for the ENTIRE LIFE OF THAT PET.

To adopt a dog from Heather’s Foster Dogs, you must…

-Be at least 21 years of age
-Have a valid form of identification (a driver’s license or
state ID)
-Verify that you are allowed to have a dog of the breed
and size where you currently live
-Understand that a fenced yard may be required for a
dog you are interested in
-Understand that training may be required for the dog
you are interested in
-Understand that HFD reserves the right to check
veterinarian and personal references
-Bring along all household members including any
resident dogs or children to meet the dog you hope to
adopt

TO ALL POTENTIAL ADOPTERS: Heather’s Foster Dogs is dedicated to eliminating shelter overcrowding once and for all. We understand the only way to really achieve this goal is by cutting down on the number of unwanted animals born every year. As such, HFD tirelessly promotes spay/neuter for all companion animals, and in fact requires this as part of our adoption agreement. If you currently own an animal that is intact (meaning it is NOT spayed/neutered), and there is no medical reason as to why your pet has not been spayed/neutered, HFD cannot in good faith approve you to adopt one of our foster animals.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE THE FOLLOWING: Heather’s Foster Dogs does NOT ship animals. No matter where you live, no matter how far, you will be expected to meet with HFD in person for your adoption interview and pet pick up.

HFD reserves the right to refuse adoption to any applicant if we feel they are not the best fit for the animal they’ve applied to adopt.

And please, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. Email Heather’s Foster Dogs at heathersfosterdogsinfo@gmail.com and we will be happy to speak with you further.

More about this rescue

Heather’s Foster Dogs strives to educate people through public interaction and to ease shelter populations by placing animals in temporary foster homes where we can address medical and behavioral problems while actively searching for permanent placement. Together, we seek to promote compassion and kindness to all animals, to increase awareness of companion animal overpopulation, and to advocate for responsible pet ownership.
