Story
Daisy is the sweetest, can be nervous in busy places like the vet or groomer. She is 3 and 1/2 years years old and 58 lbs, Belgian Malinois mix. She loves to be with her people. She knows some basic commands. She is great on a leash and likes to go for walks. She is good in the car. She can be playful at times but overall is pretty chill. She has been great with our cats and other pets when out for walks. The reason we are looking to rehome her is because of landlord issues. She is up to date on all her vaccines, spayed and microchipped. We also have everything she may need in her new home that could go with her.
