Daisey Doxie

My story

🌼 Meet Daisy! 🌼 This tiny 4.4-pound nugget is big on personality and even bigger on heart. Daisy is a Mini Dachshund with a little something extra — she lives with Megaesophagus, which just means mealtime looks a little different (and a whole lot cuter). She eats upright like the royalty she is (think: a tiny queen on her throne), then hangs out vertically for a few minutes after so her food can settle safely. She's got her routine down pat and hasn’t had a single issue in her foster home over the last 8 weeks. Smart, spunky, and just shy of 4 months old — she’s ready to take on the world. Like many Doxies, Daisy is also predisposed to IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease), so her forever home will need to be mindful of those itty-bitty backbones. That means no jumping on/off furniture, using ramps or steps, and always picking her up with proper support. She may act fearless, but she needs humans who’ll help her play it safe so she can enjoy all the adventures life has to offer. Now let’s talk about her vibe: ✨ Doxie sass? Check. ✨ Big dog attitude? Double check. ✨ Puppy antics? Oh yes. Daisy keeps her foster family on their toes (and laughing constantly). She loves annoying the big dogs — especially her Aussie foster sis, "Aunt Waffles" — and has a true talent for toy unstuffing. She's also mastered the art of lap lounging, stealing the biggest bed in the house, and making herself the main character at all times. She’s crate trained, working hard on potty training (progress, not perfection!), and bonds quickly. If you’re fun, you’ll have a little shadow. If not, she’ll go find mischief on her own. Either way? You’re gonna fall in love. Daisy is looking for a forever home that understands her needs, loves her quirks, and is ready for one mighty heart in one mini package. 💖 Could that be you?
