About Daisy

Daisy is a large, young boxer mix with a gentle soul and a playful spirit. At around 2 to 3 years old and about 62 pounds, Daisy is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and house trained. She’s shy at first but slowly reveals her goofy, innocent side once she feels safe. There isn’t a hint of aggression in her. Over time, Daisy’s quirky boxer antics shine, and her playful, mellow nature comes out. She collects toys and occasionally nabs a slipper if you leave one out, but she’s learning the ropes as she settles into home life. Daisy absolutely needs another dog in the house for companionship and confidence—she follows the lead of her canine friends and thrives when she can play and bond with them. She’s done beautifully with every dog she’s met. Daisy’s experienced little with cats, but she doesn’t seem to have a prey drive, and her timid nature means a cat would likely intimidate her, so proper introductions are key. She hasn’t been around kids, and since she’s flighty and nervous, an adult or older-teen household would suit her best. Daisy’s past included months living as a parking lot stray; she’s truly a flight risk and needs someone vigilant about keeping her safe. She’s available for adoption or a foster-to-adopt trial within two hours of Jackson, GA. Your new companion could be Daisy, if you’re ready for patience and gentle encouragement.
