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. It took months before she learned that a gentle hand could mean love, not harm. Today, Daisy Mae is a happy, affectionate, and playful girl ready to find a family who will give her the safety and devotion she's always deserved. Daisy Mae is outgoing, smart, and affectionate – she loves car rides, heavy chew toys, and being near her people. When meeting strangers, she may act shy at first, but she warms up quickly and loves attention once she feels secure.
Ideal Home
Daisy Mae adores kids of all ages and is gentle and loving with them. She would do wonderfully as an only pet, but if placed with another dog, slow intros are essential, and she'd do best with a calm, confident companion.
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. It doesn't require any 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 interacts well with dogs from 35-70 lbs and does best with balanced or confident dogs who can handle her enthusiasm. Because of her past experience with food insecurity, Daisy Mae eats and enjoys treats in her crate to help her feel safe. She's never shown guarding toward people but may bark at other dogs walking by when she's eating. She's happiest when given space for mealtime and a calm environment where she can unwind. She's great on leash, fully house-trained, and crate-trained, sleeping soundly through the night.
