This amazing girl really needs no introduction because she has touched so many lives. But, if you haven't had the pleasure of meeting this sweet soul, please allow us to introduce you to Daisy. She literally arrived at PACC near death and if it wasn't for the special TLC showered on her by staff, volunteers, and especially her amazing foster family, she wouldn't be with us today.
We can't say enough about this brave, courageous, sweet gal. Her strong spirit to live and her "can do" attitude have been remarkable and heartwarming. When Daisy came to PACC, she had one of the most advanced stages of Valley Fever ever seen by the medical team - she was all skin and bones and weighed a mere 25 pounds (which later fell to 22 pounds when rocks were discovered in her stomach!). She could not stand, walk, or even lift her head; she had to be hand fed and given fluids through an IV.
Daisy has been in an incredible foster home for over a year and thanks to this loving couple and the force behind them, Daisy not only survived but she learned to be a dog.
Daisy still occasionally falls down and needs help to get back up. She usually has to be lifted on and off the bed, but she's such a smarty she's figured out how to use an ottoman as a spring board to do this herself now! She's also on numerous medications and will, most likely, always require medical care and some therapy.
Daisy would do best in a home with someone who can spend plenty of time doting on her and giving her the love and affection she craves. She will need a playful, active home with a family who is willing and capable to take care of her ongoing medical needs. She does well with children but we recommend they be a bit older so they don't knock her down.
