Daisy

Daisy is the epitome of ‘I’m just a girl’—a giant love bug, smart, curious, a little bit of a drama queen, and lives for a good snack. She is learning (and doing great!) with leash manners, has “sit” down pat, and is a social butterfly! Since she has perfected her Great Dane lean, she’d do best in a home with kids that are old enough to hold their own—only because she isn’t quite aware that she is a miniature horse. She’s been around kids 7+ and was inducted into their girl gang, so I’m taking that to be a great sign she’d do amazing with 2 legged siblings. Daisy has lived the good life being a stay at home couch dog in foster care and doesn’t mind being on her own during the days, but has told me she would thrive being around more people during the day for lunch dates in the middle of their wfh day—social butterfly, remember!<br/><br/>On the practical side of things, she’d be ok in an apartment but better in a house. No large yard needed. She’s low-moderate on the energy scale and enjoys leisurely walks and will play toy for a bit before chilling out. She settles pretty easily and can be crated, but doesn’t NEED to be. Housebroken, doesn’t show signs of resource guarding, has not been exposed to cats or small dogs.<br/><br/>Watching Daisy heal, grow, and having her personality emerge has been such a treat—the big, high value treats. If it were up to Grandpa & Grandma Foster, she would already have a new forever home—unfortunately, their current dogs feel differently. She’ll be an amazing addition to any family and bring you so much joy! <br/><br/>Daisy is now available. She is in the Norfolk, VA area.<br/><br/>Children 10+ | Good with submissive male dogs<br/><br/>DAISY - UPDATE APRIL 2026<br/><br/>Her skin is looking really good, her itchiness is almost gone, and her tummy and poops are everything tummies and poops should be. I may be making this up, but I feel like the probiotic we got from the vet has helped her process her food better and she has put on some good weight! She's still thin but it looks more like a stylish super model choice and less like neglect.<br/><br/>Even when she must have been feeling terrible and even as we are doing treatments she doesn't love (ear rinse and drops), she has been the absolute sweetest, kindest girl. She really has yet to meet a man, woman or child she doesn't want to love.<br/><br/>We are set in our routine, and things are going really well. She is a very good walking buddy, and we are able to take some fun wanders around the neighborhood and beyond. She loves sniffing all the sniffs and she assumes any time someone gets out of their car or comes out of their house as we go by that they are doing so in order to pet her! She would make a fantastic hiking or adventure partner- she loves to do and see things and really enjoys car rides. She can be a little timid of new places- I think she may not have been exposed to much when she was younger, but she really relies on her person for confidence. The only time she really got scared is when we encountered a grub hub food delivery robot near the ODU campus- she was NOT having that! But that was early on and now that we are good buddies, we have been able to walk past them no problem.<br/><br/>She truly is a lovely girl and just desperately wants to be the best girl ever! She loves HARD and wants nothing more than to be loved in return!<br/><br/>Please include your home area code and a phone number where a volunteer can reach you when contacting us about an adoption.<br/><br/>For more information on this dog and our adoption policies, visit MAGDRL at https://www.magdrl.org.
