Hi! I'm Daisy! Intake type: Transfer D.O.B.: about 9 years old Breed: medium-sized mixed breed Gender: spayed female Weight: ~ 30 lbs My story starts off sad, but the truth is, this was my reality for a very long time. My world was scary, overcrowded, and overwhelming. I felt invisible. I came from a place with far more dogs than humanly possibly for 1 family to properly care for on their own. I am just 1 of over 200 dogs rescued from a hoarding case at a single property. I've seen and experienced neglect, sickness, injury, and unimaginable living conditions. I live with scars from those days that tell the story of my difficult past. I’ve traded the hardship and heartbreak for a future full of hope and happiness. I was blessed with the opportunity to join the HAHS family, and for that, I am oh so thankful because now, I finally know what it feels like to be safe. I've been given a second chance at life, and I'm ready to find my forever family! I’m an incredibly resilient little lady, and I have shown a great deal of trust and love towards people after all I've been through. My eyes may not work as well as they used to due to my age, so sometimes I bump into things or misjudge a turn or doorway. But I don’t let little things like that slow me down! I just shake it off and keep on wagging. I might not be able to see your smiling face, but I can feel your love from across the room, and that’s all that really matters to me. Because of where I came from, I’ve decided I don’t want to waste another second being alone. I'm what they call a velcro dog because after spending years as just a number in a crowd, I finally understand how precious it is to be someone’s dog and to be loved. Wherever you go, whatever you're doing, I just want to be right by your side. I find comfort in constant attention and affection. Soft voices, gentle pets, and warm hugs. All I want is to spend every single moment I can with you. And don't be surprised when I try to climb right up into your arms. I’ve spent so many years waiting for a gentle touch, and now that I know how good it feels, I never want it to end. And I really hope you're okay with that... because after everything I’ve been through, I think I deserve to be held and carried around like a little puppy dog! Even though some of the pups I lived with previously weren't the kindest to me at times, I'm willing to try making friends with other pups. I seem to be fine with the others I've met so far and my shelter family thinks it would be beneficial for me to find a home with another pup who is calm and confident and can help teach me the ropes when it comes to indoor living as that's all still very new to me. My shelter family thinks I would likely do well with human kiddos, too, as long as they don’t mind me trying to climb all over them for hugs. I may be a bit much for tiny toddlers though, as I don't understand the whole personal space thing and may accidentally knock little kiddos over, so kids 6+ would be best. As always, a meet and greet will be required if you have other pups or kiddos in your home to be sure we can all be the best of friends. All I’ve ever really wanted is a family to spoil me rotten, a soft bed, a kind voice, and a place where I can finally rest my head knowing I am safe and loved. I don’t need grand adventures, just someone who will show me what it feels like to truly belong. Could you be the family I've been searching for? https://www.hornellanimalshelter.org/Adoptionprocessandfees
