Daisy, foxhound mix

Daisy is a lovable female foxhound mix in the care of Cause For Paws of NC.

No need to worry: she is already house-trained. Daisy is spayed and she has had all her shots.

Here's what Daisy's friends at Cause For Paws of NC think of her:

Daisy is our resident Southern bell and is very mild-mannered, and would love a loving home to spend her golden years. Daisy would love a family with lots of hands for petting and feeding treats. She has momentary bursts of playfulness and is most happy when snoozing on a comfy dog bed in a fairly quiet part of the house. While her hunting days are over, she still enjoys a good sniff walk. Daisy is good with most dogs. She has been very calm at adoption events and was very patient with tiny tykes running up to her to give pets.
