About Daisy

Daisy is a black lab and shepherd mix, around a year and a half old, who showed up at a stranger's porch and stayed long enough to raise her puppies in safety. Now that her pups have mostly found new families, only Delilah remains with her. Daisy is slow to trust new people and tends to keep her distance at first, so anyone interested in adopting her should be willing to go at her pace and offer a calm, patient environment. Once she feels secure, she begins to settle in, but it won't be an instant bond. Daisy's gentle nature is still hidden under layers of caution from her time wandering. Ready to fall in love?
