About Daisy

Daisy is a 9-year-old terrier mix who’s finally getting the second chance she should have always had. After most of her life spent on a farm—much of it alone in a garage—Daisy is learning what real companionship means. Since joining foster care in January, she has steadily opened up and begun to trust, showing her gentle, affectionate side to those closest to her. She’s kennel- and leash-trained, picking up on daily routines and doing well with house training as long as she’s on a consistent schedule. Her progress has been remarkable, but Daisy needs a quiet, stable home to truly blossom. Years of self-reliance made her wary; she’s much happier now with ongoing pain management and patient adults she can really bond with. She’s best as the only animal in an adult home—no other dogs, cats, or kids—where she can soak up love at her own pace and feel secure. Daisy thrives in a calm environment and shadows her favorite person throughout the house, content to just be close by. She will need ongoing pain management, but in return she gives unwavering loyalty and quiet companionship. She’s spayed and current on vaccinations, and ready for someone who’ll give her the understanding and continued care she deserves. Daisy was born under the determined sign of Capricorn, known for their resilience and patience. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
