Australian Shepherd and German Shepherd Dog Dogs Available for Adoption in Yakima, Washington

Meet Daisy, a one year old Minnie Aussie/German Shepherd mix weighing 31 pounds.

Daisy’s story is a bit of a mystery. She was brought in by someone who claimed not to know her, yet they knew her name—and she responds to it. While we may never know her past, it’s clear she’s been through a lot of change.

When Daisy first arrived, she was very scared and unsure of her surroundings. But with time, patience, and kindness, she’s slowly starting to come out of her shell more each day. She’s a shy, gentle girl with a sensitive heart who just needs a little time to feel safe.

Daisy is a wonderful medium size and walks nicely on a leash. She wants to please and responds well to calm, reassuring guidance. She would do best in a home that understands the importance of going slow and giving her the space she needs to build trust.

With patience and love, Daisy has so much potential to blossom into a deeply loyal and loving companion.
