🌼 Meet Poppy, a resilient and oh-so-loving special needs girl with an indomitable spirit! At just 2 years old and weighing around 55 lbs, this sweet pup is ready to capture hearts everywhere she goes. But hold onto your hats, because Poppy's journey hasn't exactly been a walk in the park! Poppy was found tied to a car bumper in rural Oklahoma, where she was rescued by a compassionate organization. After spending two months at a vet, it was discovered that Poppy was struggling to hold her food down, leading to some weight loss. But fear not! A visit to the vet confirmed she has megaesophagus. 🩺 This girl has already shown so, so much strength and determination! After coming to Mutts, Poppy quickly turned her health around! This gentle dog has already shown incredible improvement and has a sunny disposition that is impossible to resist. 💖 And boy, does she love to zoom around and have a little playful tussle—if you've ever had a pit bull, you know what I mean! She gets along fabulously with everyone, including her feline friends! 🐱 Now, let's talk about Poppy's special dietary needs—she requires blended meals because her megaesophagus means she can't handle solid food. Think of it as gourmet dining! 🍽️ Her kibble needs to be soaked and blended to a slurry for her to enjoy in her special chair. Poppy takes two medications (Sildenafil and metoclopramide) to help her manage her condition, estimated to cost under $30 a month. With a little love and proper management, she’s been making great strides toward health! But, dear friends, it's not all sunshine and rainbows! Poppy has a few quirks; for instance, she experiences some kennel anxiety. This girl would thrive in a heavy-duty kennel that can hold her active spirit while her foster mom is at work! 🏠 And she will need a secure, 6-foot privacy fence (no chain link, please) to keep her from jumping over it and exploring the great unknown. Potential adopters, be prepared to monitor her while she’s outside—you wouldn’t want to lose this treasure! Due to her special condition, Poppy is available only for local adoption in Oklahoma, and potential adopters will also need to be open to a home visit to ensure she finds her perfect match. 🌟 Poppy is fully spayed, up to date on all vaccinations, heartworm negative, and micro-chipped! Her adoption fee is $150, and the love she brings into your life? Well, that’s priceless! 💕 So why not make today the day you open your heart and home to Poppy?
