Daisy

1996 light bay Grade mare
Type of Rescue: Animal Control Surrender
Intake Date: 8/26/21
Adoption Date: 6/23/22
Length of Time with SAFE: 10 months

ADOPTED!! by Shellie

Daisy is a pretty 25 year old mare, whose looks are not at all hampered by the fact that she only has one eye. She is very thin, however, so we are taking steps to safely get some good calories into her and get her healthy again. She’s a good sized mare with a very light bay coat, and she seems gentle and calm. Daisy came from a sad situation with an owner who struggled for many years to provide proper care for their two horses. The other horse was an elderly and untouchable stallion. Animal Control had been involved with this situation for quite some time, and made numerous attempts to work with the owner to improve the care. The stallion was in rough shape, so it was quite a relief when the owner agreed to let him be humanely euthanized if SAFE would take the mare. Animal Control took responsibility for taking care of the stallion, and Daisy was loaded onto a trailer and headed to Redmond. Daisy went to foster in February 2021 and was eventually adopted by her foster mom, Shellie, who couldn’t imagine her life without her.
