24-018 Daisy is a one-year-old spayed female Goldendoodle who came to AGR in March 2024. Daisy was found as a stray in Phoenix – she walked into a family’s yard and had on a collar and leash but no tags. They tried to find the owner with no results. The wife took her to the vet because Daisy was covered with cactus and needed to be sedated and clipped. During grooming, she was accidentally cut on one leg and needed to have two staples. While at the vet, she was scanned for a chip, but none was found. The vet said she probably had been a stray for quite a while because she was very skinny, matted and had fleas. The family was unable to keep her because they have a 2-year-old, a baby on the way, 2 dogs and a cat. Since boarding wouldn’t take her until she was treated for fleas, the AGR transporter graciously volunteered to foster Daisy. While on a walk, Daisy tried to catch blowing Bougainvillea flowers and was fascinated by the birds flying overhead. Although she had been through a lot in her short life, her puppy playfulness came out! She is described as very sweet, loves balls and squeaky toys, and likes to be petted.

After two days, Daisy was taken to one of our partner veterinarians for the standard vetting and grooming. She will be spayed at AGR’s expense in July 2024. Daisy spent a month in boarding before she found her forever home. The AGR transporter drove Daisy to her new home with an adoptive family and resident Standard Poodle, Honey, in Peoria. Daisy was greeted enthusiastically by Honey, who wanted to play right away, but Daisy was more interested in investigating the large one-acre back yard. Once inside, both dogs seemed a little calmer and settled. Five minutes after the transporter left the house, the adopter texted that Daisy and Honey were playing together! Daisy is now safe and happy in her new home! From the adopter: 

Daisy met our family in May and has fit right in! She got a new best friend, Honey, and three little humans who adore her. Daisy sleeps in bed with Mom and Dad, loves her toys and loves to run and roughhouse with Honey all day long. Arizona Golden Rescue was a joy to work with – they definitely have the dogs’ best interest at heart.
