Daisy is a low key, quiet little girl.  Until now, she has spent her time raising puppies for other families. Now, she has the chance to find her family & to be loved for the rest of her life. She has had very little human interaction, so humans are unfamiliar to her.  She would likely not be happy in a home with small children as they will make her nervous.  She needs time to get used to movements & home noises. She would do best in a quiet home where she can just relax with her family.  

She will do best learning from other 4-legged siblings, we would like to see her find a home with some friends of similar size & energy level. She follows her foster siblings around, like in & out the door for potties, going from room to room, social cues, & different activities.  She will need time to establish trust & relationships with her family. But once she is used to the routine, she is a friend for life. 

She is still not accepting of the harness and leash.  Therefore, for her safety, a secure physical fence yard is required.  An aluminum or slat type of fencing will need a gap filler around the bottom half so she can't get through, something like galvanized wire mesh or another sturdy mesh type material.   She isn't an outdoor adventure dog; she doesn't need a big yard.  But she does need a very secure area to do her potty business. Never EVER should she be left in the yard alone. 

If you are looking for a quiet friend, Daisy would love to hang out with you!  We hope to find her a human friend that is interested in spending the day with sweet Daisy watching & observing the wonderful world around her.
