About Daisy

Rescued as a 3-month old puppy from the Kallang district of Singapore where her pack were often chased by dog catchers, it soon became apparent that Daisy had fear issues that left her with a dread of new people and new environments.

Acknowledging that some of her fears may never go away, ASD rehomers were nevertheless determined to put her into fostercare to see if a safe, loving and secure home life would help her adjust more easily to the daily traumas that life presents, such as fast moving traffic, loud or sudden noises, adults and kids, and wide open spaces with nowhere to hide. All big challenges for Daisy.

Today Daisy is learning to cope, aided by 2 K9 companions who are not fearful when outside the home. Daisy remains slow in adjusting to new people - but she does, eventually, especially if ignored totally. It may take two or three visits, but Daisy is gradually meeting and feeling relaxed around more and more people.

Over the last few months, Daisy has also grown to be comfortable in a few parks and beaches that are peaceful, and then she will walk and run confidently for an hour or more. In these 'safe' locations, she is able to ignore the odd bike, roller-blader or runner that comes close. There are, though, places she just doesn't want to go - such as a new street with pedestrians and moving traffic! She may never overcome this fear, but in fostercare she is gradually being introduced to new situations, and as time goes by may learn to adjust more quickly and be calmer in situations she doesn't like. But if she doesn't adust, that's OK too! She's still a wonderful dog, in need of a special home that will understand the type of dog she is, and be happy with that.

She loves swimming in the sea, sausages, chewing palm fronds and the occasional shoe. She is bright and intelligent, picking up basic commands very quickly. She dotes on her carers, and is warm and cuddly with them. She is happy to walk on the treadmill for up to 20 minutes at a time - very useful at times, providing her with the exercise she needs to stay fit and healthy.
