My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

please read description thoroughly before contacting .

Meet Daisy!
Daisy is a sweet 16-pound, 2 1/2 year old Maltese, possibly with a little Shih Tzu in her mix. She has adorable apricot-colored ears and tail that give her a unique charm. Right now, Daisy is on a journey to regain her health, as she needs to lose about 40% of her current weight to reach her ideal size of 10 pounds. We're looking for a foster or adopter who can lovingly guide her through this weight-loss journey with proper exercise and a healthy diet.
Daisy has also experienced some emotional trauma in her past, likely due to mistreatment. She was surrendered because she would panic and have accidents when picked up. She sometimes yelps when touched in certain areas, but we've found this to be more emotional than physical, as she doesn’t react the same way during calmer moments. Slowly but surely, Daisy is learning to trust again. With patience, praise, and gentle encouragement, she’s making wonderful progress and can now be picked up without peeing in calmer moments.
Daisy is eager to bond and would thrive with someone who is home often to provide her the consistent care and attention she needs. Daily walks and playtime are essential to help her shed the pounds and build her confidence. She would also benefit greatly from having a young, confident canine friend to show her the ropes and keep her active.
Because Daisy is easily startled by quick movements, we ask that families with small children not apply, as this could set back her progress. She is looking for a calm, loving home where she can feel safe and supported.
Daisy is in great health otherwise—her teeth are in excellent shape, and she is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Her adoption fee is $300.
If you’re ready to help Daisy on her journey to a happier, healthier life and show her what it means to be truly loved, please apply at www.misfitsdogrescue.org. ❤️
