About Daisy
Hi there, I'm Daisy! I don't do anything halfway, including loving people, and so for someone that is looking for a loyal and energetic new best friend to cuddle up with, I will make them very happy! I've been waiting for a forever home for an awfully long time, and for no real good reason, so please fill out an application and come and meet me!
And you know what, for someone who loves as big as I do, I just don't know why I might be spending my second Christmas at the Bow Valley SPCA. I know the right home is out there for me... and I'm really hoping they see this soon!!
I am a lover of all adult people, and have a full-body tail wag like you've never seen before! I may not be "lap dog sized" but that sure won't stop me! I am a strong breed, but I have been working hard on my leash manners. I still have a tendency to pull when I get excited but once I get over the initial enthusiasm of being out for a walk, I become more polite. I'm looking for a home that is familiar with the common traits of my breed, as well as able to set boundaries that will help me to thrive. I am very food motivated and eager to please, so I pick up training wicked fast and would love to keep learning new things. I‘ve nailed placement training and I wait patiently for doors to open and be invited in. What more could you ask for?!
When I first arrived at the shelter, I was selective with my canine pals, but I've been working hard with the dog team on making friends with other dogs, and can proudly say I have learned some great dog skills. I still need proper introductions, but I've been making lots of dog friends at the shelter (check out my Instagram story highlights to see my awesomeness in action!), so a home with another dog is a definite possibility - as long as they want to play wrestle! At this time, dog parks won't be for me, and small dogs and cats will be a no-go.
The shelter environment seems to bring out my exuberance, but I've spent some time in a foster home for weekend trips and they say I'm like a different dog. I seem to mirror the energy around me, so if you're calm, I'm calm. I've also been excellent at not pushing boundaries (such as coming in the kitchen, counter surfing (I've actually never tried this!), not jumping on the bed etc.) as long as they are made clear to me from the start. My foster described me as a velcro dog in that I like to be right by your side - preferably touching you at all times - and part of the action.
Dog-friendly: Occasionally leash reactive (over-excited), great with proper introductions
Cat-friendly: No
Kid-friendly: Adult-only home preferred, no children under 14 Do I Need Special Care?: No
Interested?! Please fill out our adoption application and submit to adopt@bowvalleyspca.org. Upon approval you will be contacted to arrange an appointment time to come meet me!
