Who am I?

I was picked up as a stray in the Town of Watson in Lewis County and brought to the Lewis County Humane Society. They thought I might have belonged to a coyote hunter but nobody ever claimed me. They named me Sheila and they loved me and took great care of me until I was adopted at the end of July. My new home named me Daisy.

  I was in my adoptive home less than a week and they turned me in to the Fort Drum Vet Clinic because they said I was destructive and I ran away. Amanda at Fort Drum thought I could go to a foster home so I could work on some issues and try to find a forever home. They already have a Daisy here and boy is it confusing when neither one of us know who they are talking to. So they call me D2 short for Daisy #2.

I am spayed, housebroken and I am about 1.5 to 2 years old. I might know how to hunt coyotes and raccoons. I love treeing wild animals and baying to let everyone know what is going on. It isn't that I don't want to stick around my people it is just that I have so much fun chasing scents that I forget where I am supposed to be.

Sheila, Daisy, D2 doesn't a dog deserve its own name?

This dog is an absolute sweetheart! She has been bounced in and out of animal shelters and is looking for a permanent home. She is loving and attentive to children, loves to play, snuggle on the couch and have her belly scratched. She is unreliable off lead at this point because of her tendency to follow scents (exactly what her genes tell her to do). She is headstrong on the collar but walks great on a harness. She has been working on her obedience and can sit, come and lie down in controlled settings. Because of her history she has some separation anxiety and can be destructive if she feels insecure. We have worked extensively with her on this issue since she has been here and she has come a long way in a short time. She has a very strong hunting instinct so she is unreliable outside alone even in a fenced yard. Her energy level is moderate. She plays very well with a variety of dogs. She is less sure of cats but seems to coexist with them. This dog is smart, loyal and has a great sense of humor. She is looking for someone who has the time to devote to her and is willing to help her work through some of her issues.

From Craigslist
Hello, Just wanted to say that the movies you have with this ad are amazing. I enjoyed watching and reading the whole thing. You truly love the animals and it is very refreshing. There are a lot of us that love animals and would take wonderful care of them. Again there are others who are horrible to them. God has given you a purpose and your doing a great job!! Blessings, Cindy

Eric and his craziness

Eric came into our care on Thursday. He is a great dog! He is still in puppy mode, running crazy with no real clue on where he is heading. Plays well with our other dogs that we have. He knows basic commands, sit, down and stay. His leash walking was a little rough the first day but has gotten better. He rode great in the car, no crying or craziness.
