Say hello to Pops, a 5-year-old mixed breed with a past shaped by rescue and resilience. As a puppy, Pops came from a large-scale humane investigation involving 117 dogs and has since experienced both the warmth of a long-term home and the disruption of loss. After returning to the shelter when her previous owner passed away, Pops has struggled to adjust to new environments and seeks a quiet, adults-only household where patience really counts. Pops bonds deeply—once you’re in her circle, you might catch her signature tippy tap dance. She’s affectionate with friends but takes her time warming up to newcomers, so several meet-and-greets are often needed before she truly opens up. Pops prefers being the only dog in a home and does not want to live with cats. She’s part of the Foster-To-Adopt program, which means adopters can work closely with trainers for a few weeks to help Pops adjust and settle in. Her adoption fee is sponsored, making it easier for her to find the understanding home she deserves. Ready to offer some extra love to a dog who needs it most? Ready to fall in love?
