I am Daisy, a pleasantly plump, 8-year-old classic Basset looking for a family to smother me with love, cuddles, and treat me like the queen that I am! I came to BROOD from a home where I ate more human food than dog food and the vet said I have about 15 pounds to lose to be a perfect weight for a gal my age and size. My foster family has been working with me to cut the calories and try and increase the exercise so I will need a family willing to help on my weight loss journey!
I am fully house-trained. I love roaming outside or warming myself in the sun, and sometimes I forget what I am out there to do. I will need a home with a fenced yard as I don't much care for walks for exercise. I prefer to take things at my own pace on my own schedule. I am crate-trained and sleep quietly there through the night.
I love people and getting all the attention I can. I do startle pretty easily when napping, which is my favorite pastime, so I would do best in a home with older children who know to let me get my beauty rest. I need to go to a home as the only dog. I want all the attention for myself and don't like to share my family with other dogs. I don't mind the cats here--we just go our separate ways.
I can be stubborn when it comes to food. I want whatever you have, my favorites are pizza, burgers, and chicken. But I won't turn down veggies and fruit either. I am learning about "cookies" and love a milk bone treat for when I am being good.
I've yet to meet a person, or their food, that I didn't instantly love! Please contact BROOD today!!! My adoption fee is $200.00.
**Only BROOD-approved adopters can meet a dog (no exceptions). Our adoption application is on the BROOD website at https://brood-va.org/adoptionapp/. We adopt to residents of Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, DC, Delaware, and southern Pennsylvania. Do not apply to adopt from BROOD if you live in another state. We require a virtual home visit and a veterinary reference.
The age of many BROOD dogs is unknown, as very few come with official records. The estimate on the dog's age is usually the initial estimate given by the receiving shelter, which may be different from that given at the time of the initial checkup. Different veterinarians may also give different ages, and those different opinions are sometimes reflected on the record. ***BROOD's adoption fees are determined based on the age of the dog. 07/13/2024
