Daisy - Australian Shepherd and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Green Bay, Wisconsin

Daisy had a rough start to life. She was found in a box on the side of the road on a 100-degree day, and despite everything she's been through, this sweet girl has so much love to give. She absolutely adores her people and would happily climb right into your arms for cuddles. Once she feels comfortable with you, her silly, loving personality starts to shine. Ask her for kisses, and you might get an adorable head tilt before she rushes over to give you some!

Daisy is still learning about the world around her, so new people and experiences can feel a little overwhelming. She may need time to warm up to visitors, but with patience and encouragement, she's making progress. She'll need a confident, understanding family willing to help her build trust and discover that the world isn't such a scary place after all.

Like many puppies, Daisy has lots of energy and loves to play! She currently lives with two dogs, a 9-year-old Lab mix and a 1-year-old Lab, and enjoys playing with both. She does best with dogs who are respectful of her signals and give her space when she needs it. Daisy is still learning to share her things, including toys and food, so she'll need continued positive training, supervised interactions, and separate feeding spaces to help her build good habits.

Daisy is also working on her leash confidence. The world outside her home can be intimidating right now, and she'll need someone willing to take things slowly, celebrate the little victories, and help her gain confidence at her own pace. She's making good progress with potty training, too!

Although Daisy has plenty of puppy energy, she can settle down nicely when it's time to relax or when her people need to get things done. She may whine a little when first settling into her kennel, but she does calm down. Her family will need to continue helping her feel comfortable in her safe space while teaching her appropriate boundaries around other animals.

Because Daisy is still building confidence and learning to navigate new situations, a home with older, calm, dog-savvy children would be best. We recommend no children 12 and under at this time. Her adopters should be prepared to continue working on confidence-building, deterring resource guarding, and positive introductions with any other pets in the home. She is good with the foster cat and dogs in the home but does guard her food, toys, and kennel with pets (not people). She plays with them great otherwise, and really enjoys the cat.

Daisy is still just a puppy with so much growing and learning ahead of her. After such a difficult beginning, she deserves a family who will give her the time, patience, and reassurance she needs to feel safe. With gentle guidance, consistency, and lots of love, she has the potential to blossom into a wonderful companion. Could you be the one to show Daisy just how good life can be?

The Australian Shepherd is a highly intelligent and energetic herding dog known for its loyalty and work ethic. Originating in the United States, despite its name, this breed is prized for its agility, trainability, and versatility in various dog sports and activities. Australian Shepherds have a distinctive medium length coat that comes in different colors, often with unique merle patterns. With proper training, socialization, and exercise, these dogs make excellent companions for active families and individuals seeking a devoted and playful four legged friend.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
