When Lee Asher, founder of The Asher House in Oregon, visited the Tacoma Humane Society, his heart sank at the sight of a malnourished dog in desperate need of love and care. In that moment, he knew he had to help.
Without hesitation, Lee made up his mind—this sweet pup deserved a second chance, and he was going to give it to her. Determined to make a difference, he approached the shelter staff and asked if he could spend some time with her.

The shelter staff had done their best to care for her, but she was still severely malnourished and needed constant attention—something only someone like Lee could provide. She didn’t just need a home; she needed a dedicated guardian who would be there for her every step of the way.
The moment Lee met her, something clicked. There was an undeniable connection between them, as if the dog instinctively knew that he was there to help. For the first time in a long while, she felt safe.

After spending some time cuddling her, Lee knew she was ready for the next step. Gently, he placed her in a kennel in his car, ensuring she was comfortable for the journey ahead. It was time to take her home—to The Asher House in Oregon, where she would finally get the love and care she deserved.
Once they arrived, Lee gave the newly named Daisy space to adjust to her new surroundings. He wanted her to feel safe, to understand that this was her home now.
To help her settle in, Lee introduced her to Steve, his trusted friend and fellow caretaker at The Asher House. Together, they made sure Daisy had everything she needed—nutritious food, medical attention, and, most importantly, love.
The transformation was incredible. Within just a month, Daisy had already gained five pounds, a sign of her newfound strength and hope. It was only the beginning of her journey, but she was already thriving in a way no one could have imagined.

As time passed, Daisy’s transformation became even more evident. She started playing more, her once timid nature replaced by a newfound confidence. She ran alongside the other dogs, wagging her tail with pure joy, as if she had always been part of the pack. It was clear—she had finally found where she belonged.
Lee and Steve couldn’t have been prouder. Watching Daisy thrive, knowing how far she had come, filled them with an overwhelming sense of fulfillment.
What had once been a malnourished, uncertain pup was now a vibrant, outgoing dog—full of life, love, and gratitude for her second chance. Daisy wasn’t just surviving anymore; she was truly living.
