Pet of the Week
DFW
Humane Society
Daisy is a spayed Lab Mix Female about 7 months old and she weighs 40 lbs. She is brown and was surrendered to the shelter due to being too active for small children. She's a daisy! Daisy came to DFW Humane Society at a very young age. She is now just under 12 months old. Part lab and part hound mix, Daisy is inquisitive and enjoys the fresh air and outdoors. She is active and playful as any pup her age should be. She loves to interact with people and other dogs. She has made a lot of progress in her training course and is very eager to please. She would make a wonderful transition into a family and home. She has a tremendous amount of love to give and that is obvious to all who have the opportunity to meet her. If you can adopt Daisy and give him a good home, please contact the DFW Humane Society at 972-253-3333, or check out one of the many other pets that need a home by visiting their web site.
