2026 Mid-Year Impact Report

The first half of 2026 has been an exciting period of growth for Daisy’s Legacy. Together with our supporters, we’ve rescued animals, expanded our advocacy efforts, launched new initiatives, and continued building a future where every animal is treated with compassion.

🐾 Rescue Impact

Thank you for being part of this journey. Since our last update, 69 dogs have entered Daisy’s Legacy’s care—including 64 rescued from overcrowded shelters, 4 owner surrenders.

Every dog in our care receives:

  • ❤️ Veterinary examination
  • ✂️ Spay/neuter surgery (when appropriate)
  • 💉 Core vaccinations
  • 📍 Microchip
  • 🏡 Foster care until adoption

None of this is possible without your support.

Your donation helps us rescue more dogs, provide lifesaving medical care, and give every animal the second chance they deserve.

Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today and help us save the next life. 🐾💚


🇧🇬 Bulgaria Stray Dogs Fund

Daisy’s Legacy is currently in Bulgaria helping stray dogs who have nowhere else to turn.

Bulgaria does not euthanize healthy dogs simply because shelters are full, but many dogs spend their entire lives in overcrowded shelters with limited food, medical care, and resources. Others survive on the streets with little to no help.

Now through July 20, we are raising $5,000 to help stray dogs in Bulgaria.

Your donation will help us:

  • Buy and deliver food
  • Pay emergency medical bills
  • Support feeding and rescue efforts

100% of donations designated for this campaign will go directly toward food, veterinary care, and rescue efforts for stray dogs in Bulgaria.

When donating, please write: BULGARIA STRAY

🐄 Expanding Our Mission: Farm Animal Welfare

This year, Daisy’s Legacy launched a new Farm Animal Welfare & Policy Initiative, expanding our mission to protect not only companion animals but also the millions of farm animals who receive little public attention and limited legal protection.

Through advocacy, education, research, and policy, we’re working to improve welfare standards and support practical, evidence-based solutions that reduce animal suffering on a larger scale.

By combining rescue with advocacy and policy, we’re creating lasting change for animals—one life and one system at a time.



⚖️ Daisy’s Law Update

Daisy’s Legacy is working to create stronger legal protections for companion animals through Daisy’s Law – Companion Animal Family Member Act.

Inspired by Daisy’s story and the many animals we’ve rescued, this proposed legislation would recognize dogs and cats as sentient beings with protected welfare interests, strengthen breeder accountability, improve animal welfare standards, and help prevent abuse, neglect, and preventable harm.
