Daisy - Shepherd and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Springfield, Missouri

Hi there! My name is Daisy, and I'm a 3-year-old German Shepherd/Heeler mix. At a sleek 31 pounds, I am the absolute perfect size for lap sitting-which is great, because sitting in your lap and showering you with kisses is my favorite hobby! I absolutely love people and am a world-class cuddler.
Don't let my affectionate side fool you, though-I'm a smart girl, too! I already know sit, stay, wait, down, and "go to your spot." I also walk like a total lady on a leash. While I'm perfectly fine hanging out in my crate when needed, my true dream is to curl up right next to you in bed for a night of cozy cuddling.
I am truly the sweetest girl, and I just know it'll be love at first sight when we meet. Could you be my forever humans?
