Daisy Mae is a beautiful 2-year-old, 35lb spayed female pittie mix who has overcome a difficult start in life. Rescued from a situation of abuse and neglect, she weighed only 18 lbs at six months old. It took time for her to learn that gentle hands meant love, not harm. Today, Daisy Mae is a happy, affectionate, and playful girl ready to find a family who will offer her the safety and devotion she deserves. She's outgoing, smart, and loves car rides, chew toys, and being near her people. While she may be shy meeting strangers initially, 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 introductions are essential, and she'd do best with a calm, confident companion who can handle her playful enthusiasm. She needs a home that understands her past, provides gentle structure, and celebrates the happy, goofy, affectionate girl she's become.
Ongoing Health
Daisy Mae is in great shape and continues to thrive. She does have slightly runny eyes, which her foster suspects are due to environmental allergies that flare up seasonally. This doesn't require treatment beyond occasional gentle cleaning and awareness of seasonal changes.
Training & Support
Daisy Mae is great on leash, fully house-trained, and crate-trained, sleeping soundly through the night. Because of her past experience with food insecurity, she eats and enjoys treats in her crate to help her feel safe. She may bark at other dogs walking by when she's eating, so she's happiest when given space for mealtime and a calm environment. She can be a bit bossy during play with other dogs and benefits from slow introductions.
