About Daisy

Daisy is full of attitude and affection, a senior Rat Terrier who still has plenty of spark in her. She thrives as the center of attention and would do best as the only pet in the home, as she tends to be bossy around other dogs and isn’t suited for sharing her space with cats long-term. For a retired but active person or someone who works from home, Daisy is an ideal companion—she adores daily walks, joining her people for drives, and has a soft spot for lap time. She’s crate trained, though she’s just as happy left loose at home, especially if she doesn’t have other pets to manage. Walks, adventures, camping trips, and just hanging out on the couch—she’s up for any of it. Despite her years, Daisy’s energy and curiosity haven’t faded. She’s been well cared for, including a recent dental cleaning and a clean bill of health from a senior blood panel. Daisy is spayed, vaccinated, heartworm tested, and microchipped. She’s looking for a home where she can be the star and get all the attention she deserves. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
