Daisy

My story

Fostered in council bluffs Name-Daisy Age-1.5 Breed- boxer mix What was your life like before NDCB/Where did you come from? Daisy was found as a stray and brought to our vet. An extensive search was launched for her owner owners, but nobody has ever come forward. She was spayed, brought up to date on all shots and treated for a raging ear infection and we took ownership of her. Who is your main caretaker/favorite person now? My foster mom Are you good with kids? What age ranges? I have lived with kids 8 and up. I am still practicing really hard on not jumping up, but I do it every now and then so a small kiddo would possibly be a little afraid of me even though I don’t mean it. Are you good with other dogs? Yes!!! I currently live with many other dogs in Foster ranging from puppies to grumpy old adults. I am a boxer and I do love to play and use my front paws like hands so another active dog in the home would be great, but I am also respectful of the older dogs and will happily snooze. Are you good with cats? Probably not. I like to chase small furrys… I’m assuming there’s a squeaker inside , right?? Are you housebroken? What is your current potty routine? Yes- I would never potty in the house. I will go to the door when I want to go out and I will make eye contact with you if you ignore me I also potty well on a leash so as long as my energy needs were met, I would make a great apartment or road dog. Do you like car rides? I LOVE to go bye bye. Do you like walks? How are you on a leash? I love to go for walkies!! I get overly excited at first and have to be reminded not to pull but after about five minutes, I walk nicely on a loose leash right next to you. My foster mom is continuing to remind me to contain my excitement. Do you like toys? What is your favorite toy?I love stuffed toys!!! And anything that squeaks. I know fetch and love to play tug-of-war as well. Do you know any commands/tricks? Duh. I’m super smart. I know sit down place kennel shake, and probably more things my foster mom hasn’t even asked me to do yet. How are your house manners?I I’m a pretty solid housemate if I do say so myself💁🏻‍♀️. I definitely must be allowed on your couch because I’m not gonna ask. I would prefer to sleep in bed with you, but I will sleep in a crate if you need me too. I have been reliably left alone in a home uncrated for up to eight hours without issue!! Describe your personality-I am a super goofy happy snuggly girl. I’ve had a rough start as I’ve been passed around and lived outside for a bit, but I really do love my humans. I like to keep an eye on my house and make sure no stranger danger is happening. I will definitely let you know if someone’s coming up to the door or even thinking about it. I got your back 😉 Describe your perfect home- My perfect home would be somebody who wants to go on lots of adventures! Or at least is willing to throw a toy outside for me for at least 10 minutes a day so I can get my energy out. I don’t mind being a couch potato and snuggling a ton as long as I get a walk in. I do still have a few small fear things I am working on like barking at bicycles so a patient human that will show me I don’t need to be afraid of some things would be fabulous. I definitely look big and have a scary bark so if you want me to protect you or at least pretend to, I am happy to do that!
