Meet Poppy! This lively girl is full of energy and charm, with an irresistibly cute personality that makes her hard not to love. Whether she's chasing after a toy, heading out for a nice stroll, or curling up beside you on the couch, Poppy is happiest when she's sharing her time with her people. Poppy is very food motivated, which makes her a great candidate for learning basic manners and skills. With a little consistency and positive reinforcement, she'll quickly pick up on house training and other good habits. She's still working on things like resisting the urge to shred her stuffed toys, but she's eager to learn and please. In her previous home, Poppy lived with kids and did well with them. She would likely enjoy a family environment again, especially one that understands her need for both playtime and the occasional quiet retreat when she needs to recharge. If you're looking for a fun-loving, affectionate companion who will keep you smiling and on your toes, Poppy might just be your perfect match! Ready to Adopt?
