Daisy Sue, a 2-year-old spayed female, is a 35-pound Pointer/Australian Cattle dog mix with a heart full of love and a spirit full of playfulness. She was rescued from a euthanasia list after being returned to a shelter and is now looking for her forever home. Daisy is affectionate, enjoys zoomies, and has a fantastic relationship with other dogs. She's smart, well-mannered, house-trained, and leash-trained. While she can be shy with new people, especially men, she warms up with patience and gentle encouragement, revealing her cuddly and devoted nature.
Ideal Home
Daisy would thrive in an active home with another friendly dog for companionship, as she loves to play and learn from canine friends. A securely fenced yard for her to explore and burn off energy would be wonderful. She would do best in a calm environment with a predictable routine, and children 10 years or older who understand how to respectfully interact with a shy dog would be a good fit. She can be left loose in the house when alone, but it's best to keep shoes put away as she finds them fascinating!
Ongoing Health
Daisy is spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations. No specific health conditions are noted in her description.
Training & Support
Daisy is fully house-trained, leash-trained, and crate-trained. She walks beautifully on leash and is not reactive to dogs, runners, or people. She has no issues with resource guarding and is very food-motivated, making training a joy. Her foster family notes that she may gently herd, a common trait for some herding breeds. She can be shy when meeting new people, especially men, and may bark or keep her distance initially. Patience, gentle voices, and giving her space will help her warm up.
