APPLY TO ADOPT AT https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/TRRA/Dog Poppy is a young, purebred Labrador Retriever with papers… and absolutely zero interest in living a calm, sedentary life. If you’re looking for a jogging partner, hiking buddy, adventure companion, or someone to enthusiastically body-slam you with love after a long day — congratulations, you’ve found her. Poppy is all Labrador, all the time. She’s energetic, goofy, and operates at about 110% enthusiasm for life. If you let her, she will absolutely tackle you in excitement — not because she’s rude, but because she genuinely believes this is the best possible way to say hello. She does well with other dogs and enjoys canine friends, though she can get a little dramatic about squeaky toys when they’re involved. (In Poppy’s defense, squeaky toys are serious business.) With new people she can be a bit unsure at first — but once she decides you’re part of her circle, prepare yourself. The tackling, the wiggles, the relentless affection… it’s all coming your way. Poppy is crate trained and has some basic obedience, but she’s still very much a young Lab with a busy brain and busy body. She’ll thrive in a home that understands that exercise means more than throwing a ball 10 times in the backyard. Think long walks, hikes, training games, sniffing adventures, enrichment, and generally giving this smart girl a job to do. She can be a little puppy-mouthy when she gets excited, so she’s not the best match for homes with small kids. But for someone who appreciates a big, goofy, high-energy Labrador who lives life with her whole heart? She’s going to be an absolute blast. In summary, Poppy offers: - Unlimited enthusiasm - Professional-level wiggles - Occasional full-body tackles of affection - A strong opinion about squeaky toys - A lifetime supply of Labrador chaos Poppy is looking for a home that loves Labs for exactly what they are — joyful, busy, slightly ridiculous dogs who want to be part of everything you do. If your idea of fun includes muddy trails, training sessions, long walks, and a dog who thinks every day is the best day ever… Poppy would like to meet you.
