Daisy: Looking for love and acceptance

Daisy is a 2.5 year old black beauty who is looking for the right family to call her own. Daisy is a little particular about her friends - we prefer to call it "discerning." She doesn't open her heart up to just anyone at the beginning, but once she gets to know you, you will have a friend for life. All you have to do is see Daisy interact with her foster mom to understand what a great partner she will be for a person or couple willing to take the time to get to know her. Daisy would especially love to find a single woman or female couple to settle down with.

Being honest about Daisy is not very flattering (sorry, girl!), but we will never withhold information about a foster dog. Daisy has some aggression issues with strange dogs and strange people. Her adoptive home needs to have a fence and be a relatively quiet place without a lot of strange people coming and going. She also needs a home where she won't have to spend time with kids as they make her nervous. I know there are people out there who want to adopt a dog that "truly needs to be rescued" because they have a checkered past and will not easily find a forever home. Daisy is that dog.

Daisy has completed two levels of obedience training with her foster at The Canine Coach and she was the star of the class. She knows all of her basic commands, but repeating class with a new owner would be a great bonding experience.

Because of her wariness, these photos don't do her justice. She just is not 100% sure that she should smile at the strange woman with the big black camera (thanks, Sara!).

If you are willing to give Daisy a 2nd chance (and maybe a 3rd or 4th) to make a first impression, please email pethavendogs@yahoo.com and we would love to put you in touch with her foster mom to arrange a private meet-n-greet.

Pet Haven has declared February as Black Dog and Cat Month. All month long we will be featuring our adoptable black dogs on the dog blog. We will also be working to educate people about "Black Dog Syndrome" and encourage everyone to take a 2nd look at black dogs when they are considering adoption.
