Daisy is looking for a quiet place to land, and she’s ready to make someone very happy.

 

She’s a sweet, gentle German shepherd mix, about 6½ years old and 67 pounds, according to her Humane Society of Western Montana listing.

 

Daisy came to the shelter after her owner passed away and no one else was able to care for her.

 

Ready to retire and relax

 

HSWM says Daisy is in the stage of life where she’s ready to slow down.

 

She’s excellent at being home alone while her people are at work or running errands, which makes her a great fit for a busy household.

 

What Daisy loves

 

  • Car rides
  • Treats. She’ll do anything for them.
  • Tug-of-war: HSWM calls her a world champion
  • Most of all, snuggles

 

She knows her name and has a very good “sit.”

 

The right home for Daisy

 

Daisy has never lived with cats and has shown some chasing behavior that could be hard to manage in a home with them.

 

She also hasn’t spent much time with other dogs in recent years, so HSWM says she may be the perfect fit as an only pet.

 

In the shelter’s words, if you love relaxation, occasional hikes and lots of snuggle time, Daisy is your girl.

 

Why consider an older dog

 

Adult dogs like Daisy often come with their personalities already known, so you can see what you’re getting: in her case, a calm companion who’s happy on her own and happiest next to you.

 

How to meet Daisy

 

You can meet Daisy during adoption hours. Email paws@myhswm.org with questions, or check her listing for her latest status.

 

The Humane Society of Western Montana is at 5930 Highway 93 S. in Missoula. Adoption hours are Wednesday through Sunday, 1 to 6 p.m. The shelter is closed Mondays, Tuesdays and major holidays. Call (406) 549-3934 with questions.

 

According to HSWM’s adoption page, the adoption fee for an adult dog is $100. It includes age-appropriate vaccinations (with a rabies vaccine or voucher), spay or neuter surgery, a microchip, and a starter bag of food, a collar, an ID tag and a leash.
