Adopted 2/3/18 - 2/20/20
We are heartbroken to announce the passing of the sweet Miss Daisy Fegan. She died peacefully after a brave battle with lymphoma. She was only 9 years old, a gorgeous Redbone Coonhound Mix, and words cannot describe how much we’ll miss her. Daisy was adopted by her beloved mom Allison only 2 years ago in Feb 2018, at the Animal Haven dog shelter. Allison wasn't really looking for any particular breed but as soon as she read Daisy’s story and saw her photo she instantly fell in love. Daisy had been abandoned in icy conditions and no shelter in rural West Virginia on New Year's Day, 2018. She was found shivering and covered in snow.
After coming to live with her new mom, Daisy quickly began building loving relationships with everyone. Even though her previous “owners” abandoned her in the worst conditions, she LOVED all people and was happy about life. She LOVED going to the vet. What dog loves the vet?! She loved her mommy, and she loved her dog friends, especially Coconut and Ollie. She tolerated wearing festive headbands for the holidays, and would howl to ambulance sirens whenever they passed by. And her howl was hysterical - a funny old lady gargle-howl. She loved running free in “her” park (Prospect Park) where she took nice long walks with her mom every weekend. Sometimes they would just sit on a blanket and people watch.
The thing she loved most was SLEEP. Daisy was a professional lounger. And her snoring was glorious, she made incredible sleep sounds, like only hound mixes can. A lover of Starbucks Puppaccinos and car rides, she also enjoyed sleepover parties at the Dogger HQ. There she liked laying on the big blue futon and listening to the delightful dog sounds all around her. She was so GOOD. So pure, with the most amazing loving personality. A real, actual angel.
Daisy will be greatly missed by many, but none more so than her mom. Through thick and thin, she loved her with all her heart, and though the pain she feels without her is great, it in no way would compare to having never had her in her life. On her behalf, please give your dog an extra hug, belly rub, kiss, and treat.
