Daisy Mae

Daisy Mae is a beautiful 2-year-old, 35lb spayed female pittie mix who has overcome a difficult start in life. Rescued as part of a police confiscation case for abuse and neglect, she weighed just 18 lbs at six months old and needed months to learn that a gentle hand meant love. Today, Daisy Mae is a happy, affectionate, and playful girl ready for a family who will give her the safety and devotion she deserves. She is outgoing, smart, and affectionate, loving car rides, heavy chew toys, and being near her people. While she may be shy at first when meeting strangers, she warms up quickly and loves attention once she feels secure. Daisy Mae is the definition of resilience, blossoming into a loving, loyal companion who greets every day with joy and trust. She's looking for a home that understands her past, provides gentle structure, and celebrates the happy, goofy, affectionate girl she's become.

Ideal Home

Daisy Mae adores kids of all ages and is gentle and loving with them. She doesn't need another dog in the home to be happy and would do wonderfully as an only pet. If placed with another dog, slow introductions are essential, and she'd do best with a calm, confident companion. She eats and enjoys treats in her crate to help her feel safe due to her past experience with food insecurity. She's happiest when given space for mealtime and a calm environment where she can unwind.

Ongoing Health

Daisy Mae is in great shape and continues to thrive in foster care. She does have slightly runny eyes, which her foster suspects are due to environmental allergies that flare up during rainy times of the year. This doesn't require treatment beyond occasional gentle cleaning and awareness of seasonal changes.

Training & Support

Daisy Mae has an enthusiastic, playful personality and loves to romp around with other dogs once she's comfortable, though she can be a bit bossy during play and benefits from slow introductions. She has interacted well with dogs from 35-70 lbs and does best with balanced or confident dogs who can handle her enthusiasm. Because of her background, she just needs time to trust and understand that she's safe. She's great on leash, fully house-trained, and crate-trained, sleeping soundly through the night.
