Meet Daisy! 7 yr old, 50 lb Cattle Dog Rescued from the Porterville Animal Shelter in Porterville Ca. Daisy was picked up as a stray so we do not know much about her past.
She is currently being fostered in Sacramento while she waits for the perfect home.
More about Daisy:
Awesome with children of all ages; does not jump on them or react to squealing/screaming of small children. Does not chase them and does not flinch when they make sudden movements in her face. Does not lick people (at least not much). 100% safe around kids.
Curious, interested, intelligent, seems to be looking at her people for cues on what to do next.
Gentle and non-aggressive
Does not get “excited” over common things like visitors at the door, going for a walk, meal time, or other excitable actions - very calm and gentle.
Exhibits none of the negative traits associated with herding dogs such as nipping
Rides well in the car
We believe her best placement is with a young family with no dogs or maybe 1 dog her size + with a well-matched temperament.
Needs consistent training in order to learn basic skills which have been absent in her past. Capable of learning but we don’t believe she has been taught
Daisy can be leash reactive to dogs on walks. She has shared a home with another dog her size, but does not seem to do well with smaller dogs/animals
