About Daisy

Daisy lost her home when her owner became ill and is now searching for a new beginning in Ladson, SC. She’s about three years old, a Catahoula/Pit mix with a short red-chestnut coat, and she adores people of every age. Daisy can be shy at first but quickly warms up and loves attention. Crate-trained and eager to please, she still needs some leash work but learns quickly, especially when given patience and gentle encouragement. Her Catahoula side craves mental stimulation and exercise, while her pitty half is happy with a cozy lap to curl up on. Daisy has experience supporting her previous owner during anxiety episodes, showing her loyal and attentive nature. She is not comfortable with other dogs, so she’s best as the only animal in the home. Daisy hasn’t had much outdoor access and is trained to use pee pads. A patient, dog-savvy adopter who can help her build confidence and feel safe will be key to her success. Foster opportunities are open as well, but only for homes without other pets and someone willing to work on her training and confidence. Daisy has come through big changes and deserves a steady, gentle home where she can thrive. Click apply to start the adoption process.
