1 Darlin' Daisy was rescued from Animal Control in South Georgia, where she was to be euthanized.
2 She came to rescue with heartworms but underwent successful heartworm treatment in the fall of 2004.
3 She was transferred to Atlanta on March 10 and quickly charmed her way into her new foster family.
4 Daisy was about 11" tall and 14 lbs. We'd been told that she was about 6 years old, but later learned she was probably at least 10 years old.
5 This quiet girl was easy to love and care for. Housetrained, loving, and very low-key, she just liked to "hang out" with her people.
6 Daisy learned to do okay with other dogs but was bossy and had an "in-your-face" attitude that often led to fights. Because of numerous scars, we assume she had a hard time with dogs in her past and we believe she had mostly been an outdoor dog.
7 Daisy was adopted by a Massachusetts family and was waiting to be transported from Georgia up to her new home.
8 The morning before her transport, however, she died suddenly and unexpectedly. The necropsy showed an enlarged heart, probably damaged from the earlier struggles with heartworms.
9 Daisy died May 19, 2005, when her heart suddenly failed. We will sorely miss her enthusiastic greetings and loving kisses.
