Daisy Mae is a 7 year old blue heeler hound mix who is up to date on her shots and all veterinary care. She is very loving and affectionate and is medium to high energy. She loves to run, go for walks, and play. She is incredibly affectionate and loves to hold hands and cuddle. She is being rehomed because she is in a household with a toddler and this has become too stressful of a situation for her. She can be reactive with other dogs and people outside her household, so she would do best in a household with a family that can help her feel comfortable and would probably do best as an only pet. She is very friendly and loving towards her family and is a wonderful companion, but needs to be in a family with no younger children and with adults who can create an environment where she can relax and not have to feel on guard. She is housebroken, well trained and loves hugs and snuggles.
