About Daisy

Daisy is a young Boxer/Shepherd mix with a keen mind and a lot of heart. Rescued from a tough situation by a dog trainer, she's had the benefit of structured training and real-life experiences. Daisy is house trained and crate trained, with a good handle on her basic commands thanks to time in a training program at a men's prison. She travels decently in the car, knows her grooming routines, and plays well with both big and small dogs. Daisy is happiest when she's outside chasing a ball, playing tag, or tugging on a rope toy. She can have the big bark of a typical watchdog, but she's not an excessive barker—she just takes her job seriously. Daisy has been around children at the trainer's kennels, though her regular exposure to kids is unknown. She’s best matched with someone who knows dogs and is looking for an active companion. Daisy will thrive in a home with outdoor access and would love to have a canine friend around. She’s a medium-to-large girl, ready for an adopter who likes hiking or tossing a ball outdoors.
