Little Daisy Mae doesn’t know that other dogs don’t wobble on their back legs.  She doesn’t even seem to care that she needs a cart to get around.  Don’t feel sorry for Daisy Mae, though.  She has truly been given a gift.  For the support that her legs lack, her huge heart and her love for life make up for and help to carry her through life.  

  Daisy Mae was given a hurdle in life when she was born with Cerebellar ataxia.  What this means is that she has uncoordinated movement in her hind legs.  And then came a second hurdle when her owner dumped her out in a very rural area when she was only 6 weeks old.  Afraid and alone, she was rescued by a caring person who with one kind act, changed Daisy Mae’s world forever. 

 Given a second chance, Daisy absolutely loves life!  Everything is new and exciting!  People, kids, cats, dogs – if it is alive she loves it!!! Never showing any aggression, her sweet temperament could bring tears to your eyes.  She loves to fetch, play outside and swim.  She has also had hydrotherapy and loved it.

Daisy is more than ready to pass on the kindness that was shown to her by her rescuer by finding a forever companion that she can love with all of her huge heart.   Only 35 lbs., and not expected to grow much more, she is now 9 months old.  She has had thorough testing by a neurologist who said that she can lead a normal, happy life.

 
 This sweet pup’s ideal home would be with a family where someone is home at least half of the day, and she would have a brother or sister doggie to play with.  Kids to play with would be a terrific bonus also.  She absolutely needs to have a secure fenced in yard.  Due to her balance problem she needs a safe place to play where she won't get into any situations she cannot get out of.   In the house she needs carpet to walk on (no hardwood floors) in order to keep her footing and traction.

Daisy Mae loves every day.  She soaks in all the happiness and joy of life.  This little dog is a perfect example of how one kind act can create beauty and hope in the world.  Finding that special home for her will be her final hurdle.   Are you ready for some kindness?  Do you have the perfect home for Daisy Mae?  If so please contact us here.
