About Poppy
Poppy made her way to Ohio all the way from the Bahamas, where island dogs like her are called "Potcakes." She even arrived with a note from a child saying she's a "good girl" and should be cared for. At about 18 months and 43 lbs, Poppy is a medium-sized dog with a smooth short coat and remarkably expressive eyes. She keeps her crate clean, walks well on a leash, and can't resist a good chewy treat. Poppy is cautious in new situations and with unfamiliar people. She doesn't offer quick tail wags to strangers and remains wary in the chaotic kennel setting. Instead, she forms slow, meaningful connections with those she trusts. She'll need a patient, experienced adopter in an adult-only, single-pet home, someone willing to move slowly and help her gain confidence at her own pace. When Poppy bonds, she does so deeply. She rewards patience with unwavering loyalty and affection. The right person for her won’t expect overnight transformation but will appreciate the rare gift of earning her trust. Poppy's not for everyone, but for someone who values a truly special companion, the reward is real. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
