Story
Meet our beautiful new Sheltie gal Daisy. Will be ready for adoption later in January. Daisy is one stunning sheltie gal and she is only 2 years old and at 30 pounds, has some longer legs and she is a taller gal. Daisy is up to date on all vaccinations, is spayed, all of her testings completed, vetting care and micro-chipped completed, and is ready for her new forever loving home. Daisy is 2 yrs old and still very much a puppy at heart and loves to play and we’re working on some general manners… as she can be a counter surfer… LOL She is a youngster, and needs to have some supervision (as puppies do… ) and ongoing training. She would do great with some basic obedience classes with her new forever home and bonding. She is a fun-loving Sheltie and she is GREAT with other pups and tends to be the Alpha in the foster home (she does enjoy the two other shelties in her foster home). She still has a lot of youngster energy and is learning the sheltie pack rules in foster care, but she can be, or wants to be the more the Alpha dog in the group and will need a home that understands the sheltie breed and the herding breed. She has had a few accidents in the house, but it’s only been a couple of weeks and she is learning the ropes in her new foster home. She is one very smart sheltie girl.
Daisy is a tick bigger for a sheltie at 30 pounds, and she does have those longer legs and has a beautiful mahogany sable and white coat, that is just stunning. She would do great in a home that likes to do some obedience and even some agility work and with those long legs, she is one fast gal and a jumper and will love to be up on the couch with you for sure.
Daisy just loves to racing around the fenced yard with the other shelties and she is a barker, as most shelties are, and we feel she would do fine with other shelties or other non-alpha pups in her new home, but with her activity level, we will not adopt her to a home with children under the teenage years, and she would need a home with no cats… She is a herding dog and will most likely give chase to the cats. LOL We don’t think she would hurt them… but give them a chase.
So, Daisy is looking for her forever home, and she will be a great companion and a fun and energy sheltie in the home that understands shelties and a home that is open to working with a young 2 year sheltie pup that needs a lot of exercise, one-on-one attention, and also a home open to some obedience training and even some agility sports. A Sheltie needs mental activity as well as physical activity…. Especially for the youngsters.
Daisy is being fostered in the Pittsburgh, PA area and please note her location here in PA and her foster home location. HPSR covers the state of PA, and our foster homes are located throughout the state of PA. We would prefer her adoption be at the foster home in the Pittsburgh, PA area.
Daisy will need a SECURE FECNCED IN YARD... and no exceptions. (Please do not inquire if you do not have a secure fenced in yard and secure gates). We Prefer a home with Sheltie / herding breed experience. We adopt to forever homes here in the state of PA and will consider adoption homes just over the PA state line, but we do NOT do long distance adoptions. Inquiries can be emailed to: mikelamontshelties@gmail.com or a reply here to Daisy’s post on this adoption site.
Adoption applications can also be downloaded from our website at: pasheltierescue.org
