Daisy Has Been Adopted!
Hi everyone! I'm Daisy, a 37-pound, loving and wonderful, female Cocker Spaniel/Terrier mix. I’m a sweet girl who is somewhere between 8 and 12 years old (a lady never reveals her true age!).
I was a stray, wandering around in a ditch in Kentucky, without a home or a family. Luckily, someone took pity on me (I couldn't even see, there were so many filthy mattes stuck over my eyes!) and brought me to the shelter. I was in rough shape, but my foster mom saw the potential in me, and said she was willing to foster me and nurse me back to shape, so I took a long road trip and now here I am!
A bath and a haircut made a huge difference! I went to the doctor, too, who gave me medicine for my thyroid condition. Two little pills a day and I’ve got more energy and I’m slimming down. I have some fatty tumors and dental problems, but considering how I started out, I’m doing much better already.
Although my past remains a mystery, I warmed up quickly to family life. I’m house trained and I don’t mind being by myself all day. I like walking on a leash and I’m working very hard to get in good shape so I can play more! I love people and having my head scratched. My foster mom can’t believe how much of a tail wagger I’ve become! I like to snuggle on the couch or curl up on my bed; if you’re in the kitchen, I’ll definitely come in to see if you’ve dropped anything I might want to nibble.
I, er, do have one sort of bad habit. I like to rummage around in the garbage. (Can you blame me? That’s how I used to find my dinner!) As long as you keep it out of easy reach, I do okay. I’m learning what you humans call manners!
If you think you might like to adopt me, please fill out an online adoption application and live close to Ithaca , Syracuse, Binghamton, or Elmira. We do home visits on every applicant, and can't do home visits where we don't have local volunteers.
