Daisy has found her forever family. She is being adopted by a wonderful family who will care for her greatly.
They have everything she needs. They have another dog who is also 8 yrs old, a fenced yard, and the dad works from home so she will never be alone.
She will be very happy there and very well loved. Thank you to everyone who showed interest in Daisy, She is well loved.

Daisy got a new toy today and she loves it. She will not leave the house for a walk without a toy in her mouth. She gets so excited to go for her daily walk that she does circles around the house.
She is getting in better shape and we are now up to at least 6 blocks depending on how hot it is outside. She is such a sweetheart and would make a great companion for a quiet home with a fence so she can just be outside hanging out, which she was not able to do in her previous home.

Daisy is doing GREAT!! We got the results back from the radiologist and the growth in her chest is no longer there. Yay! Score one for Daisy for all she has been through this is definitely exciting. Her surgery site also looks great, no problems with that either.
She also went to a dog sitter for 6 days while we were on vacation. She had company of another older golden retriever and a puppy; she got along with them very well. The sitter said Daisy enjoyed most of her time lying around in their beautiful, big fenced in yard with her toys...she loves her toys and doesn't go anywhere w/o them. She needs to carry one on her daily walk which is so darn cute.
Daisy is a huge cuddler. Last night I laid on the floor with her petting and massaging her and she was just soaking it up. She would do that all day if possible. She LOVES being around her family so she needs an adopter who will be home often and want to spend a lot of time with her.
Daisy would make a great companion for a retired person. We do walk daily but not very far, at the most 6 blocks. She does tire easily but gets so excited when we get the leash out. She dances and runs circles around the house. It's so adorable.

I’m going to change Daisy’s kid status to “no small children only respectful older teens and adults.“ She is not as friendly around kids as I thought. She growls and looks like she is "on alert."
It also would be best to have another dog in the home. Due to her anxiety when left alone, a calm dog is needed.
She does have a follow up vet appointment for her uterus surgery and for a mass in her chest. The vet also says she has hip displasia and arthritis.
On a good note we took Daisy swimming and she loves the water!!! She was so happy and loved to cool off! I will let you all know how her vet appointment goes.

Daisy has chronic Lyme disease and gets tired. It seems like her hips bother her often most likely from the Lyme. Lyme is a tick borne illness. The vet said we could try a dose of antibiotics which may help calm it and hopefully will go dormant.
But, she will have it forever so we have to be careful to not exercise her too much so as to not increase the pain. We continue to work on her weight loss which will hopefully help her pain too. She continues to live to lay outside in the grass and hold her balls and toys in her mouth. She loves her toys!!

Daisy came to us about 8 weeks ago. She was given to RAGOM so she could experience a better life. At her previous home she was confined to a small part of the house, not having free roam and didn't get the vet care she needed.
When we got her she had very little energy and wasn't eating. We took her to the vet and found out she needed immediate surgery. She had pyometria, which is an infection in the uterus. She was spayed and got her uterus out and then needed time to heal. She is a completely different dog, happy, joyful, and sweet as can be.
Daisy is 8 years old, is very mellow, and is a "velcro" dog. By that I mean she always loves to be with her people. She will need an adoptive family who will love having her follow them everywhere they go.
She loves her daily walks which she didn't get in her previous home. It is so fun to see her "dance" when we get the leash out for her walk. She also gets excited at breakfast and dinner and "dances" then too. She came to us very overweight so we are working on getting her fit and healthy.
Daisy LOVES toys. She carries them everywhere. Our back yard looks like a day care center at times. We have a fenced yard and she loves rolling around in the grass. A fenced yard would be great for her but not entirely necessary; however, she does roam around if given the opportunity.
She gets along with children but they need to be very respectful of her and treat her well. She got anxious around the children she used to live with when they were rowdy and didn't treat her right.
She does have a little anxiety when left alone. She will bark a lot. She gets along great with our resident dog who is also a bit older and mellow. Daisy enjoys sleeping upstairs with us next to our bed on her doggy bed with our house dog and cat.
Daisy is the sweetest dog and deserves the best of life. She is easy and asks only for a few things: love, food, love, a daily walk, and more love. Please consider her for your home if you can offer these to her.
