OCEAN COUNTY, NJ – A 2-year-old petite Labrador mix named Daisy is in urgent need of rescue placement after being returned to the Northern Ocean County Animal Facility just two months after her adoption.
Shelter staff said Daisy was surrendered by her original owner, then adopted, but ultimately returned because she was not a good fit for the adopting family. Daisy has a noticeable issue with her lower jaw that causes her tongue to hang out, which may be due to a deformity or past trauma.
Despite this, staff say Daisy is a happy, affectionate dog who walks well on a leash, has passed all behavioral assessments, and has lived successfully with children ages eight and older. She prefers to be the only dog in a household and has lived with cats, though caution is recommended due to her strong prey drive.
Daisy is currently on the shelter’s “rescue only” list, meaning she must be pulled by a 501(c)(3) rescue organization.
Any rescue group able to help is asked to email kathleenfrett1@gmail.com.
