About Daisy:
I'm an even tempered and mellow girl who has had some sadness in my life. My person passed away recently. Though the folks here at Dakin are real nice, I've been quite anxious about losing my person and ending up in the adoption center. I was housetrained in my previous home and lived with another older dog and a cat. I enjoy going for leisurely walks or spending time leaning next to someone who will give me lots of pets.  I lived with older adults my whole life and have no previous experience with young children, so a family with adults or older, mature kids would be best.
