About Daisy

Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin! Daisy is a delightful Boxer/Shepherd mix, estimated to be around one year old, who was given a precious second chance by a dedicated trainer after being rescued from a challenging situation. She has excelled in a specialized training program, mastering house and crate training, as well as basic obedience and vehicle manners, making her a quick learner keen to please. Daisy is social with other dogs—both big and small—and thrives in playful environments, especially when a game of ball, tag, or tug is involved. While she still displays adorable puppy-like enthusiasm, she’s learning the finer points of grooming and good care. Daisy enjoys outdoor adventures and would be happiest with an active family or owner ready to include her in hikes or play sessions. Although she has experienced children at training kennels, her day-to-day compatibility with kids is still being discovered. Daisy’s impressive bark helps her alert when strangers are near, so she’d do best with experienced dog owners who understand her needs and her preference for a canine companion. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
