Daisy came to STAR on 9th Feb through no fault of her own . She was born in June 2024 so is now 8 months old. Daisy had been very well cared for by her previous owners .

It must be stressed that Daisy is still a puppy and exhibits usual puppy behaviours....for example she is currently going through the chewing phase! Obviously she is going to need exposure to all sorts of things both inside and outside a home environment as well as general education and socialisation. Daisy will require plenty of exercise....at least 2 walks per day of at least 30 mins each... as well as plenty of play time and other stimulation on a daily basis . Daisy is happy to play with toys ,humans or other pets and could go to a home with other dogs or with cats that are used to having dogs in the home. Daisy walks at a brisk pace and does pull when on a lead. Although this has improved greatly it will initially require some ongoing education. Daisy has a sensitive nature and possesses a wonderful temperament and disposition. She has shown some suspicion ( not aggression ) when meeting some people eg workmen wearing hats or overalls... or carrying tools...people carrying bags etc, on these occasions she woofed a lot and was 'skittish'. She will require more familiarisation in these sort of areas. Generally though she has been good with all humans including children so a family with children who are sensible and used to dogs in the home could be considered for her... as long as the family has sufficient time available to devote to her each day. Daisy lost an eye at a very young age but this does not appear to have affected her.. To keep her remaining eye lubricated she currently has a drop of Hycosan Extra put in three times daily. This lubricant is about £12 and will last about 2 months and can be obtained online or from chemists eg Boots. She will also require usual Shih Tzu maintenance of eye wiping daily plus regular grooming. Daisy eats well, sleeps well (was allowed on furniture and to sleep on the bed by previous owners) travels well and is fully house trained. Daisy is an absolutely beautiful little dog....both inside and out. .....she has been a joy to foster . Please only apply to adopt Daisy if you are certain you have sufficient time and energy for her ...and can commit to giving her a secure and stable home for the rest of her life (which could be 15+ years.) Daisy is microchipped, vaccinated and neutered and comes with 5 weeks free insurance. she is fostered close to Beaconsfield Buckinghamshire and you must be able to visit her there with all resident family members and any resident dogs.
