About Daisy

🐾 PAWS OUT THE DOORS – $90 🐾 🌼 Foster to Adopt or Adopt – Meet Daisy, The Gentle Garden Guardian 🌼 Hello there, lovely humans. My name is Daisy, although around the house I also answer to Red Dog, Dazie Doo, and Tippy Toe. The last one is because I have a very special skill I quietly tip-toe down the hallway like a little red shadow, then suddenly appear beside you ready to give you all my love. Some say it’s a surprise. I say it’s excellent timing. I recently turned 9 years young, which means I’ve reached the wonderful stage of life where I know exactly what makes a good day: sunshine, a comfy couch, a sniffy walk, and my favourite humans nearby. You see, I am what you might call a Gentle Garden Guardian. My duties include keeping the house calm, following my humans from room to room to make sure they are safe, and performing very important aerial pest control. Yes, that’s right… I can catch flies. Mid-air. Like a ninja. It’s a gift. During the day I enjoy a good solid walk (30–60 minutes) where I can sniff the ground, sniff the air, sniff the breeze and generally check that the neighbourhood garden patrol is running smoothly. I walk well but I am a strong girl, so someone confident on the lead would suit me best. Now… I should probably mention that sometimes when I’m out on walks, I can get a little reactive on lead. I’m trying my best, I promise, so I’ll need humans who understand me and can help me stay calm and supported while we explore the world together. When the evening arrives, my work is done. I take my position on my couch (very important detail) and settle in for the night. I sleep beautifully and in the morning I gently wake my humans with a few loving licks just to remind them the day has begun. Now, I should mention a few things about myself so we’re all on the same page. I absolutely love adults and being close to my people. Sometimes I believe I am a lap dog despite being a little larger than your average lap ornament. I am very affectionate and will happily follow you around all day just to keep you company. I would prefer to be the only dog in the home, as I’m happiest when I don’t have to share my humans. I also need a home without young children, but older children (10 plus) who understand boundaries and can respect my space would be just fine. At the vet I can feel a little nervous, so I wear a muzzle to help everyone feel safe. I’m a very polite girl with food, gentle as can be when taking treats. I’m not particularly excited about plain biscuits, but if you mention chicken mince, veggies, rice, pasta, or chicken necks… well… suddenly dinner becomes much more interesting. I’m fully toilet trained and will let you know when I need to go outside. I can also stay home inside for several hours and behave like the very good girl I am. One last important thing I am fast. Extremely fast. If a door opens, I may decide the wind needs chasing. Because of this I will need a securely fenced yard and humans who are mindful of doors and gates. But if you can offer me a safe home, a comfy couch, and a life where I can quietly follow you around like your loyal little garden shadow I promise I will bring love, calm, sunshine, and absolutely zero flies into your life. After all… every garden deserves a Daisy. 🌼 Daisy is one of our PAWS OUT THE DOORS dogs and his adoption fee is just $90.
