Daisy needs a new home

Daisy came up from Texas with a batch of shepherds rescued by Shenandoah Shepherd Rescue back in 2020.  I had her for just a short time and then she was adopted by a woman who had adopted two or three rotties from me in the past. Daisy's paperwork gave her a birth date of July 4, 2019, making her six years old now. She's small for a rottweiler, probably not more than 80 pounds. Daisy's owner suffered a brain aneurism a couple weeks ago and is facing a very long road of recovery. There's no family able to take her so Daisy needs a new home.

Daisy was adopted during Covid and like many Covid-era dogs she never really got properly socialized. She loved her owner and was very protective of her. She was always fine with me and she stayed with me over the years whenever the owner had houseguests or went out of town herself. She had several good human friends in and around Crozet where she lived and walked with her owner. However, Daisy is not always quick to warm up to a stranger, especially if she feels the need to protect her human.

Daisy's world has been turned upside down and she's been boarding at Green Dogs for the past week. She started out being scared and growling, but now she's a big wiggling pile of sweetness around the adults and children. I'm sure she's had more interaction with more humans in the past week than she's had in the past five years because she was only around her owner, a couple of dog walkers, and myself since she came to Virginia. 

Daisy may need some time to warm up but it will happen and it will happen more quickly than you might think. She will be an extremely loving and loyal companion. Contact me at vadogrescue@gmail.com if you can either foster or adopt Daisy.
