About Daisy

Meet Daisy, a Rat Terrier mix who loves her name—so if you’re thinking of a new one, pick something that sounds similar. Daisy is all about running and will thrive with a yard for playtime, daily walks, plenty of treats, and, of course, belly rubs. She’s happiest when she can curl up on the sofa or sleep right alongside her people and won’t settle for being left on the floor. Water isn’t her thing, so baths are a necessary evil, not a fun pastime. Daisy has shown a special fondness for men but gets along well with cats, dogs, and children alike. She checks every box for a classic velcro dog: loyal, loving, and glued to your side—especially at bedtime. Daisy needs an adopter ready to share the furniture and let her truly become part of the family. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
