Daisy spent her life being loved and cared for by a wonderful family. Unfortunately, her owner developed health issues that left her unable to properly care for Daisy, and she had no choice but to surrender the senior dog to the RSPCA.

Daisy hasn’t been in the care of the RSPCA for very long, but she’s already struggling to cope with shelter life. As a senior dog who had a home her whole life, the adjustment has been particularly tough for her, and everyone at the shelter is hoping they can find her a new home very soon.

“We really want to get beautiful Daisy out of a kennel environment as soon as possible as she’s finding it really difficult and it’s very sad seeing a senior dog spending this point of their life in a rescue centre,” Cyan Hulland, an administrator at the RSPCA’s Hillfield Animal Home, said in a press release. “Because she’s finding it tough in her kennel, she’s been spending some time helping us out behind reception where she rolls around the floor like a puppy. She’s such an affectionate dog and has clearly been very loved, and we know she will make a fantastic and rewarding companion for whoever welcomes her into their life.”

“She’s just the sweetest character who lights up around people — all she wants to do is shower you with kisses and cuddles,” Hulland said. “Apart from a dental check-up when she arrived, she’s in remarkably good health; she’s definitely young at heart and doesn’t act like a dog who will be 13 in a few months’ time.”
