Susan Daffron talks to Deb Edwards, the director of operations at the Mount Pleasant Animal Shelter in New Jersey about a Walker Hound mix named Daisy who is available for adoption. Daisy's story is somewhat sad. She was actually adopted from the shelter four years ago, but it had become difficult for her elderly owners to take Daisy for walks anymore because of health reasons. So Daisy is back at the animal shelter, hoping someone else will see what a sweet and wonderful dog she is.

At seven and a half years old, Daisy is out of the puppy/young adult active, boisterous phase. Even though she does need daily walks, once you return to the house, Daisy is ready to just curl up, snuggle, and watch some TV with you. Because she's been in a family home for years, she has nice "house manners," walks beautifully on a leash, and even knows some basic obedience commands like "sit" and "down." If you're looking for a friendly, calm adult dog to join your family, you won't find a sweeter hound than Daisy.
