Daina

3/12/11: Daina was adopted today!

Hi-ya!  My name is Daina and I'm a 1 year-old, 32-lb Brittany Spaniel mix.  I'm a bouncy, loving adolescent pup who is searching for a very special person (or people!) who can show me the love and affection of a *real* family!  I was brought to MaxFund by some good samaritans who took me into their home while they searched for my owners.  When no one claimed me, they were nice enough to bring me to MaxFund where I'm safe until I find my Forever Family.  Being a stray & all, not too much is known about my first year of life.  I can tell you that during my few days in the good samaritans' home, I never pottied in the house.  I slept in a room all by myself and did just fine, but I enjoyed the company of people very, very much.  I also loved car rides and chasing balls and toys...although I haven't quite figured out what you mean by "fetch"!  You'll love watching me pounce after tennis balls and trap the ball in between my front paws before putting it in my mouth and running away.  So fun!

The folks at MaxFund think I may have been mistreated in my previous life as I can be a little shy and fearful when I first meet you.  But, I'm just a bouncy bundle of joy when I see that you're a nice human!  Of course, like all adolescents, I'll need a family with the patience and time to work with me on training and obedience.  I seem to get along with other dogs at MaxFund just fine, but I haven't had too much exposure to cats or children so am not sure how I'd like to have them around.  

After a hard day of playing and pouncing, I look forward to cuddling up with my Family and relaxing.  Maybe you can even rub that special spot behind my ears?!?
