PUMA UPDATE 🩷🩷

Puma had a follow-up visit with our vet because her ear hematoma has returned. She already underwent surgery for the hematoma a few weeks ago after a little nip from another dog caused the initial injury.

Unfortunately, Puma also suffers from a chronic ear infection that continues to cause inflammation and is likely the reason the hematoma keeps coming back. The plan now is to bring her in weekly for ear flushing and packing treatments in hopes of getting the infection under control and finally allowing the hematoma to heal for good.

Puma was rescued by DaisyLu Ranch from the shelter in March 2025. She arrived with a large tumor on her side, which was successfully removed. Further testing revealed cancerous nodules in her lungs, and we knew she would become one of our hospice residents. Despite that diagnosis, Puma continues to amaze us. She has a remarkable will to live, and even our veterinarian agrees. She remains bright, engaged, and determined to enjoy every day to the fullest.

A huge thank you to foster mom Jackie for loving Puma, caring for her, and making sure she gets to all of her appointments. It truly takes a village to care for these special senior dogs, and Puma is lucky to have such a devoted advocate by her side.

FOSTER OR ADOPTER FOR LITTLE MIMI
PLEASE HELP BY SHARING ❤️

Courtesy post - Contact (818) 274-4353, [email protected]

Mimi is a 7-year-old Silky Terrier mix who weighs just 13 pounds. She was pulled from a local shelter with no history, no notes, and no one to tell us what she had been through before arriving there.

Mimi is not a perfect little dog right now. She can be fearful, nippy at times, and protective over her food and water. We truly believe this behavior comes from past neglect and possible abuse. It seems likely that she may not have always had regular access to food or kindness.

But underneath all of that fear is a very sweet, loving little girl who wants to trust. Once she feels safe, her gentle side starts to shine through.

Mimi needs a patient, adult-only home with someone willing to go slowly and help her learn that she never has to be afraid again. She deserves stability, understanding, and someone who sees past her fear and into her heart.

These are often the dogs that need us the most. The ones who have been let down before.

Please help us find Mimi the safe and loving home she deserves.

She is currently in Simi Valley CA, by phone or email: (818) 274-4353, [email protected].

CHICKPEA UPDATE 🩷

One thing about Chickpea... she knows exactly when it’s mealtime! 🍽️😆

The moment she gets a whiff of food being prepared, she becomes the most excited little girl around. Her tail starts wagging, her eyes light up, and she can hardly contain herself. She starts making the funniest little sounds that remind us of a tiny dinosaur and spins around in excited circles while she waits for her meal.

For a senior dog, Chickpea still has plenty of personality and reminds us daily how much joy can be found in the simple things—good food, a full belly, and lots of love.

Watching her twirl and hearing her dinosaur noises never fails to make us smile. We think mealtime might just be Chickpea’s favorite time of day! ❤️🐾

The Netherlands has become the first country in the world to successfully eliminate stray dogs, ensuring that every dog has a home.

This remarkable achievement stems from a combination of strict animal welfare laws, large-scale spaying and neutering programs, and a strong culture of responsible pet ownership. The Dutch government has long supported widespread sterilization initiatives and enforces tough penalties for animal abuse and abandonment.

While an estimated 200 million stray dogs exist worldwide, the Netherlands stands out as a global leader. In Dutch cities, it is common to see dogs riding in bicycle baskets, relaxing under café tables, and even joining their owners on public transport, a reflection of how deeply integrated pets are into everyday life.

The country now serves as an inspiring model for animal welfare, demonstrating how coordinated policy, cultural awareness, and compassion can effectively solve a challenge that continues to affect many other nations.

Every Wednesday is grooming day at DaisyLu Ranch ✂️🛁

Peppermint Patty got a nice bath and is looking adorable as always. This tiny 4-pound, 12-year-old girl was rescued by DaisyLu Ranch from the shelter on the very day she was scheduled to be euthanized. Now she is safe, loved, and spoiled like she deserves to be.

Candy, one of our beloved hospice residents, also enjoyed a fresh wash and cut today. At 13 years old, Candy was rescued from the shelter also after being brought in as a stray. She is missing one eye, and although we had her mammary tumors removed, biopsy results showed cancerous cells. Candy will remain with us for the rest of her journey surrounded by love and comfort.

Our seniors may move a little slower, but they still deserve to feel clean, comfortable, and pampered.

Thank you to Isabella for the Amazon Wishlist gifts for the seniors at DaisyLu Ranch 🎁

Here is one of our hospice residents, sweet Chauncey. Chauncey was a stray turned into the shelter in Downey, CA in absolutely deplorable condition. Thankfully, he is now safe, loved, and enjoying the comfort and care he deserves in his golden years.

Every item sent from our Wishlist truly helps us care for dogs like Chauncey and so many others with medical and hospice needs. We are incredibly grateful for the support.

OUR TWO CONE HEADS 🩵🩷

Cozi is recovering after being bitten just above his eye over the weekend. Thankfully, he is doing okay and resting comfortably. Cozi is one of our hospice residents, and we are so grateful for every extra day we get with this sweet boy.

Dottie is also in recovery mode after a big surgery day. She was treated for pyometra, spayed, had multiple mammary tumors removed, and underwent dental surgery with extractions. She has been through a lot, but this brave little 10-year-old is healing beautifully.

And once Dottie is fully recovered, Dottie will be available for adoption.

🩷🩷 WHO IS TOP DOG?

Morena may only weigh 7 pounds, but make no mistake… she is the top dog at DaisyLu Ranch.

This little firecracker keeps everyone in line. If another dog is getting attention, Morena will immediately place herself right in the middle because clearly all love and affection should be directed toward her.

She is completely fearless too. Even our 110-pound Wolfie gets corrected if Morena decides he’s being unruly. And somehow… Wolfie listens.

Tiny but mighty. That’s Morena 🩷

Morena was rescued by DaisyLu Ranch after being given up by her owner at the shelter at Baldwin Park CA.
