Daisy, coonhound mix
Daisy is a winsome female coonhound mix being kept at Stop the Suffering.
She gets along well with other dogs and cats. Daisy's already spayed and has all her shots.
Here's what Daisy's friends at Stop the Suffering think of her:
Daisy is a 2-year-old Treeing Walker Coonhound. You read that right: this beauty is descended from the English and American foxhounds. Her kind eyes, shiny coat and general sweet demeanor only amplify the good girl that she is. Although hounds have a reputation as loud barkers, Daisy is quiet and reserved. She loves treats, squeak toys and her big comfy dog bed. Daisy has not always been treated nicely by humans, which has led her to slightly fear us. While she has shown zero aggression in her nervousness, she needs a forever family who is willing to be patient, calm and consistent. She would do best with a family who does not have small children, as their quick movements and loud sounds may be too much for her.
