Story
Hi, I'm Daisy - Your Future Queen! I'm an 8-year-old, pleasantly plump Basset Hound looking for a family to spoil me with love, cuddles, and treats fit for royalty! I came to BROOD from a home where I ate a little too much human food, and now the vet says I need to lose about 15 pounds to be at my best. My foster family is helping me with my weight loss journey, and I'll need a family that's willing to keep me on track with healthy meals and exercise.I love being outside, exploring at my own pace, or just soaking up the sun. I need a home with a fenced yard (no invisible fences, please) since walks aren't really my thing. I prefer to move at my own speed! I do best in a peaceful neighborhood because loud noises really scare me. No city, apartment, or condo life for me-I'm all about the quiet life!I need to be the only dog in the house because I love having all the attention for myself. Cats? No thanks, they just don't get me. Since I get startled easily when I'm napping (and I do love my naps), I'd do best in a home with kids over 12 who know to let me rest in peace. I'm happy to sleep in my crate at night, but I might bark if I'm left in there during the day while you're out. So I will need a family that is home a lot. I will need experienced Basset owners only. My personality can be a little unpredictable, so I need a family that knows how to handle reactive dogs.I love food-pizza, burgers, chicken, you name it! I'm learning to like dog treats too, especially milk bones. But I've been known to sneak onto chairs to grab food if you're not watching!If you're looking for a lovable, quirky, and food-loving queen to rule your home, I'm the Basset for you! My adoption fee is $200.00.**Only BROOD-approved adopters can meet a dog (no exceptions). Our adoption application is on the BROOD website at https://brood-va.org/adoptionapp/. We adopt to residents of Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, DC, Delaware, and southern Pennsylvania. Do not apply to adopt from BROOD if you live in another state. We require a virtual home visit and a veterinary reference. The age of many BROOD dogs is unknown, as very few come with official records. The estimate on the dog's age is usually the initial estimate given by the receiving shelter, which may be different from that given at the time of the initial checkup. Different veterinarians may also give different ages, and those different opinions are sometimes reflected on the record. ***BROOD's adoption fees are determined based on the age of the dog. 10/19/2024
