Daisy Mae

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 and patience for her to learn that gentle hands 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 deserves. She's outgoing, smart, and affectionate, loving car rides, heavy chew toys, and being near her people. While she may be a little shy when meeting new people, she warms up quickly and enjoys 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. If you're ready to open your heart to a survivor who will give you her whole heart in return, Daisy Mae is your girl.

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 benefits from slow introductions with other dogs and does best with balanced or confident dogs who can handle her enthusiasm. Daisy Mae eats and enjoys treats in her crate to help her feel safe, as she has a past of food insecurity. She is 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 any 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. She can be a bit bossy during play with other dogs and benefits from slow introductions. Because of her background, she just needs time to trust and understand that she's safe.
