Story
|How to describe this precious girl, Sweet Daisy!! She is lovely, gentle, lady-like, a survivor, great temperament and beautiful in every way! She has lived with a dog and has been cat tested and her foster mom says she is "perfect in every way too!" She is an amazing little girl who has quite the story to tell, and we think she is a Lab with a "golden heart'!
Daisy is not only a survivor, but she is thriving!! We received a notice from one of our fellow rescue partners around Thanksgiving that there was a precious girl in north Florida who needed help asap. She appeared to be a retriever in the photo, so we decided to help. As it turns out, she was in a life-threatening situation with a severe infection following the birth of her puppies which we believe were born in the woods.
We have no idea how Daisy came to be in that situation but when she wandered alone into a yard of a homeowner who knew she recently had puppies, so they made a nice straw bed for her in a sheltered spot hoping she would bring them to safety. Four days passed with no puppies and with Daisy taking a drastic turn for the worse so she was rushed to a local Vet hospital where she was diagnosed with a severe uterine infection and would have died within days. She immediately underwent spay surgery and days later was transported to our Vet hospital in Saint Johns. We believe her puppies were killed by wild animals and sadly not was precious Daisy hurting but she was also grieving!
only was precious Daisy hurting from her surgery, but she was also grieving the loss of her babies too.
Well, fast forward to today and Daisy is amazing!! She totally recovered from her surgery and pain of losing her babies, has undergone heartworm treatment, gained weight and has learned that life and people are wonderful and she is now ready to enjoy it on her own in a new family. This precious girl had a home at one time but only she knows the whole story. She is a cuddler on the sofa, loves going for walks, has impeccable house manners, enjoys being outside watching the squirrels and birds but most of all, loves being with people. She does not bark, counter surf, chew or dig in the yard.. This is the perfect little lady in every way and lucky is the family who will call her their very own. She is an ideal companion for someone who works from home, or a retired couple or single.
Daisy is believed to be 7 years old, weighs 57 lbs, is totally vaccinated, heartworm negative, spayed and chipped. Her new family must have a fenced yard, someone home much of the day because she loves being close to her person, no children living in the home but visiting grandchildren over the age of 5 are okay and a family member able to walk her daily. She would love a friendly calm dog or cat also for companionship.
