Daisy Poodle Mix Bellingham, WA

Hi, my name is Daisy! I'm a PURPLE pawprint, which means I will fit well into a home that meets some specific criteria. Here is what would work best for me in my new home:

-Personality: Silly, lap dog, sassy, energetic
-Can Live with Kids: No
-Can Live with Cats: No
-Can Live with Dogs: Yes, pending an initial introduction done here at the shelter
-Can do Apartment Living: Yes, with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation
-Potty Trained: Unknown
-Bite History: Yes, ask staff for more details. Related to resource guarding, I do not like having food or toys taken away from me
-Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: No
-Energy Level: Medium
-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: No
-Additional Information: Daisy and Max came to the shelter as strays, so their history is unknown. They are super affectionate little dogs but haven't had much in the way of training. Daisy would do best with a dog-experienced adopter willing to put in some extra work to ensure she thrives in her new home. She has been exhibiting some resource guarding behaviors (with toys and food) and would benefit from working with a trainer to break this bad habit. It would be best if she is not left home alone for more than a couple hours - will bark for attention. Will chase cats, so a cat-free household would be best.

If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website (www.whatcomhumane.org/adopt) or in person at our facility. We recommend calling into the shelter after your application has been submitted so our front desk can give you next steps on our adoption process.
