Daisy was taken in by a local Texas rescue after she was dropped off on a neighborhood street with three other dogs. She was underweight at the time and clearly overwhelmed, but she's been steadily coming out of her shell.
Daisy is shy and skittish in new environments and is still working on leash walking and vet handling. She will walk on a leash, but confidence takes time. Once she feels safe, her personality shines. She is incredibly affectionate and will climb into your lap whenever she gets the chance. She also loves giving full-body hugs, wrapping herself around you whether you are standing or sitting.
She does well in the car and is intelligent, but her anxiety means she needs patience and consistency. Daisy would benefit from someone who is at home most of the time and another confident dog to be her friend and to help show her the ropes.
Daisy is a sweet, sensitive dog who bonds deeply once trust is built. With time and patience, she becomes a devoted lap companion who just wants to be close.
Daisy is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 5/1/2026 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 8:30am and noon. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame. Since they haven't arrived yet, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start's Foster to Adopt (FTA) Program. Visit our Foster to Adopt Program page to learn more. Once they get to Minnesota, they might require further veterinary care. Ruff Start's veterinary suite is located in Princeton, MN, and, as the foster, you will be required to transport your dog to and from these vetting appointments.
