I arrived at the shelter as a stray, so my history is mostly a mystery. I'm sweet and I'm excited to find a loving home where I can live my best life and shower people with love. I'm a stylishly senior pet and therefore my adoption fee has been reduced. If you are 65 and older and interested in adopting me, ask staff about our Senior Squared deal!

More than anything, she seemed happy for the chance to simply rest. After the hustle and bustle of the shelter, she soaked up the quiet, enjoying long, uninterrupted naps and the comfort of a soft place to land. At one point, she even hopped up into a comfy chair and settled in for a while, looking completely content. Daisy Mae is smart, loves to know what her people are up to, and will happily follow you from room to room just to be part of the day. She loved roaming the yard, but every so often she would stop, turn around, and make sure I was still in sight before continuing on. She loves coming up for a gentle nuzzle and a little extra love, and those quiet moments of affection quickly became some of my favorites. She is a sweet older pup who deserves to spend her golden years having adventures with her family, soaking up all the love she can, and finally knowing what it feels like to be home.My favorite thing about her? She has these adorable spurts of happy energy where she wants to jump and run a bit with you by her side!``Daisy Mae had a sleepover at our house. She's a nice dog with a quiet but alert demeanor. It seems like she's most content just spending time around people. Despite being a senior dog, Daisy Mae is still pretty spry. She enjoys going on walks, which are slow but steady, and she's got good stamina. She gets most animated at mealtime - she eats well. Although Daisy Mae likes company she did not mind sleeping downstairs by herself, and we didn't hear a peep all night. Handling was mostly fine, Daisy Mae especially enjoyed being brushed with a Furminator, although she did not allow me to clean her paws after she came inside from the backyard. Overall, Daisy Mae seems pretty low maintenance other than perhaps needing to get outside regularly to relieve herself. Daisy Mae did have have some accidents in the house, but that got better as time went on. So likely she is adjusting to her new environment and will be fine with a little training and getting into a routine.`
