Daisy is an incredibly sweet 5-year-old American Bulldog mix in urgent need of a foster or foster
- to
- adopt
home .
She's super cuddly and has a confident, go-with-the-flow personality
- really unfazed by things happening around her and just happy to be doing whatever she's doing. She's also very smart and eager to learn new things.
Unfortunately, the resident dog in her current placement is not adjusting well to having a second dog in the house. She spent two years in a shelter previously and we are desperate to find her a foster or foster-to-adopt home so she doesn't have to go back to the shelter.
A few of Daisy's f avourite things:
- sniffing things on walks
- playing tug
- cuddling close
- going on " adventures " in the car
She does well with dogs but is untested with cats.
She walks pretty well on a leash and mostly just wants to sniff things. She is indifferent to people passing by on walks. If someone approaches, she likes to give them a nice sniff and then goes about whatever she is doing. The same goes for dogs; she'll greet them if they're interested but ignore them if they're not.
Crate training is in progress. Within one day of training, she felt comfortable sleeping in the crate with the door open.
Due to her prolonged stay in a shelter, she struggles with short bursts of overarousal. With training, she's improving significantly. She needs a foster or foster-to-adopt where she can continue to decompress and receive training and guidance.
