Daisy was an 8-week-old purebred Golden puppy who, along with her sister Savannah, was given up because the owner said his daughter quickly developed allergies after the dogs were brought into their house. Having two young puppies and no training experience, the owner was overwhelmed. The puppies had been purchased from a “breeder” who advertised them on Craig’s List for $750 each. They were small for their reported age. We had to do all the standard vetting on both puppies, and both will need to be spayed (at our expense) when they are about a year old. Daisy, renamed Yuuki by her new family’s daughter who likes an anime character by that name, is growing up well and putting on weight. She has a nice large yard to run in and several other dogs to play with, ideal for an energetic puppy! Here is what her adopter told us:

Yuuki is doing fantastic and fit in wonderfully with my teenage daughters and our other dogs. She is incredibly smart and loves to learn new commands. She was potty-trained in just a week or so. She loves to play fetch and chase with her canine brothers and sisters. Her favorite toy is a stuffed dinosaur.

Happy new life, Yuuki.
