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 months of patient care for her to learn that gentle hands meant love, not harm. Today, Daisy Mae is a happy, affectionate, and playful girl, eager to find a family to offer her the safety and devotion she deserves. She's smart, outgoing, and loves car rides, heavy chew toys, and being close to her people. While she might be a little shy when meeting new people, she warms up quickly and thrives on attention once she feels secure.

Ideal Home

Daisy Mae absolutely adores kids of all ages and is gentle and loving with them. She can be a bit bossy during play with other dogs, so she benefits from slow introductions. She interacts well with dogs between 35-70 lbs and does best with balanced or confident dogs who can match her enthusiasm. She doesn't require another dog in the home and would also do wonderfully as an only pet. 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. This doesn't require treatment beyond occasional gentle cleaning and awareness of seasonal changes.

Training & Support

Daisy Mae is 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 has never shown guarding toward people but may bark at other dogs passing by when she is eating. She is happiest when given space for mealtime and a calm environment where she can unwind. She is great on leash and has a moderate activity level, enjoying walks and playtime but also knowing how to settle down.
