An examination showed no outward injuries, but the puppy will be monitored in foster care for at least two weeks before she can be placed up for adoption, said Sgt. Montez of the Lancaster Animal Shelter.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to bring her out of the trauma by having her in a home with one of our fosters so that when she does come back for adoption, she\u2019ll be that happy puppy,\u201d Montez said.<\/p>\n

Daisy appeared timid, but was otherwise in good spirits as she licked and nuzzled up to Sgt. Montez at the Lancaster Animal Shelter Monday morning.<\/p>\n

Someone has already expressed interest in adopting Daisy when the animal gets out of foster care, Montez said.<\/p>\n
