1/6/2018 Update:
Daisy was ADOPTED!!! What better way to start 2018 than with a new forever family? According to Daisy: NOTHING!
Daisy joined the No Borders Bulldog Family as a Good Samaritan surrender. Daisy’s previous family member had health concerns so the family decided to sell Daisy and her sister. Daisy’s sister quickly found a new home. However, due to the fact Daisy is almost 90% bald, it was more difficult for her. Luckily a Good Samaritan found her ad and saved her. Being a bald Bulldog isn’t unheard of, but there aren’t many foster families with that type of experience. NBBR, like other rescues, did not have a foster family with this type of experience. BUT we did have an Instagram friend that did…….
A couple of calls where made to pick our friend’s brains as to what special attention Daisy would need. They were a wealth of information. Since they had had a Bulldog without fur they were the experts we needed. After talking for awhile our experts not only gave us much needed advice they decided that they would foster Daisy until she could find her forever home. Well…. you guessed it, Daisy found her forever home the day she arrived at her foster home. And since Daisy’s fur siblings are rescued Bulldogs as well, they now have the rescue tri-fecta. Daisy and her foster sister immediately became best friends. Daisy’s forever Mom said it is amazing how Daisy has helped her sister come out of her shell and be more playful. Daisy’s brother was another story, he tended to sit across the room and watch Daisy with a little side eye. But he eventually warmed up and gave his stamp of approval for Daisy to join the family. Not only did Daisy score a new Mom, Dad, sister and brother but the family bought a new house just so Daisy would have a bigger yard to run and exercise. Daisy is quite a bit more active than her two siblings and will put that backyard to good use for sure. Congratulations are in order for the entire family. Enjoy your new house AND each other.
9/18/2017 Update: Miss Daisy is such a sweet girl. She is 3 years old but still has a lot of puppy left in her. She plays hard, cuddles hard, and sleeps hard. She loves her toys, her wresting time with Spaetzle and her snuggle time with Hans. She even convinced Bratwurst (grumpy old man) to play for a while.
We have taken her to the dog park a few times and she loves it. She has absolutely ZERO aggression in her, but she is strong and can get overly excited with small dogs and kids. She just wants to play but doesn’t realize her size so she may not be best with small children. She not an alpha female and falls in line with the pack easily. She is VERY smart and learns things quickly.
She did learn how to slip out of her collar, so she has to be walked with a harness. She also met a few cats. She didn’t react and was gentle with going to smell them. They hissed and swatted at her so she jumped back and then kept a safe distance. She wouldn’t go after a cat and once the cat got used to her they would be fine – most likely the best of friends.
We are still working with Daisy on some manners (pulling on the leash, pawing at people for attention). She is fully potty trained and smart as a whip.
9/3/2017 Update: Miss Daisy has been with us for a week now, and she has made herself right at home. She is a high-energy dog who loves to play. When the other dogs are tired or don’t want to play, she knows how to entertain herself. She even remembers where the toys are and won’t hesitate to pull them all out until she finds the perfect one. Daisy is perfectly potty trained, great with people and other dogs. She spends hours playing with our little one, Spaetzle, and is playful but gentle. When she isn’t playing, she wants to be snuggled up to a person. She doesn’t know her own size and thinks she is a lapdog.
Daisy loves her walks, but prefers to have Spaetzle there. When she can’t find Spaetzle, she keeps looking around for her. This morning, we took Daisy and Spaetzle to the dog park. They both had a blast! Daisy loves to explore and go meet new dogs. She loves to run around and play with the other dogs. She had perfect manners, meeting the dogs and their people. The whole time, though, she kept a close eye on Spaetze to make sure she was safe. It was the sweetest thing.
