Shelter staff say she is shy at first but has a gentle, affectionate personality that comes out as she gets more comfortable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">At the shelter, Daisy has been quiet and calm, often resting on her bed. She also does well in the car and may bark when excited. Staff note she is heartworm positive, but say she will be treated at no additional cost to the adopter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">HSBC officials are encouraging families to visit the shelter to meet available animals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">HSBC\u2019s Cherie Wachter said Daisy would make a strong addition to a home, especially for families considering a pet as a Mother\u2019s Day surprise, as long as the whole family is involved in the decision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">In addition to Daisy, the shelter also has several cats and a pair of guinea pigs available for adoption.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The guinea pigs, nicknamed \u201cBaby Doll\u201d and \u201cBlack Mask,\u201d weigh about 2.2 pounds each\u2014larger than average for their species. Staff jokingly described them as \u201cbig boned,\u201d but said they are cuddly and do well in pairs, and they are hoping to place them in a home together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The shelter is located at 2070 Griffin Road, one block west of Interstate 95. Adoption services open daily at 11 a.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Click here for more information if you would like to adopt a pet. <\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfe0 News From Your Neighborhood<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body__copyright\">Copyright 2026 by WPLG Local10.com &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" alt=\"Ryan Mackey\" class=\"c-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/https:\/\/author-service-images-sandbox-us-east-1.publishing.aws.arc.pub\/wplginc\/8725e99c-e445-48a0-bd.jpeg\"  width=\"100\" height=\"100\"\/>Ryan Mackey <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-author-bio__author-description\">Ryan Mackey is a Digital Journalist at WPLG.
