r2004@yahoo.com for more information. Daisy is a 25 pound rat terrier that is about 2 years old. She is spayed, crate trained, and up to date on all her shots. Daisy came to New Jersey from Mississippi after being abandoned in a boarding facility by a family that never came back for her. Daisy was heartbroken and did not understand why she was left. Luckily, Peace4Paws had her transported to the jersey shore and her new family instantly fell in love with her. The family already had a female rat terrier in the house and it seemed as if the girls would be best buddies, and at first they were. Eventually after she settled in, Daisy’s new family saw that she was an extremely fearful dog that was afraid of pretty much everything—new people, tall men, other dogs, visitors, etc. While Daisy’s family was working with her to overcome these fears, Daisy became very attached to the head female human in the household, and when the resident dog would enter a room Daisy saw her as a threat and would strike at her for fear that it would prevent her from getting all the love from her favorite human. The two rat terriers ended getting into some pretty bad battles and Daisy’s trainer/behaviorist said that Daisy absolutely has to be the ONLY dog in a household with no children or other pets in order to have a happy life. That being said, Daisy has the potential to be a WONDERFUL dog with some training and love. She really needs someone to help her get over her fears and realize that there are some good humans out there that she can trust that will love her and never abandon her. She absolutely does not need anyone that thinks being physical with her is a good training tactic, this will further set her back. She also would NOT like to be crated all day. She will take some time to adjust, so she needs a quiet, patient home with not too much action. Daisy is a loyal dog that absolutely loves sitting by your side on the couch, hard bones that she can work on for days, a fenced in back yard for running and hunting, and someone that is happy to walk her. She is 100% housebroken and goes nicely in her crate at night for bedtime. When you say her name she does the most adorable head tilt and when you stop petting her she will put her paw on top of your hand to let you know she is not done with you just yet! Daisy is a very special dog that needs a very special person. Daisy’s family wants to keep her but 2 fighting dogs is not a good situation with a young child in the house nor is it good for the resident dog that has been injured. Daisy has been an absolute angel to the 5 year old child in the family, but we are suggesting that since she has been bounced around so much that she be with an adult only family to optimize her chances of a good life. We are praying that there is a loving person that will take this sweet girl regardless of her past that has made her so fearful. How to Adopt Me!
