Popi is a young Labrador Retriever/Shepherd mix who has finally started to blossom after spending more than nine months in rescue. She came to Minnesota from Alabama with her siblings—each a bit shy due to their rough start as strays, but all have started warming up now that they’re in caring foster homes. Popi’s personality is gentle, reserved, and affectionate; she might be timid at first, but once she feels comfortable, she seeks out attention and will curl up on the bed at night to sleep alongside people or other dogs. She gets along well with other dogs in her foster home, and the rescue considers her suitable for homes with older, calm, and respectful teenagers. She is house trained and crate trained, has a moderate energy level, and thrives with routine and patience. Popi isn’t considered a fit for rental homes, as she will do best in a stable environment where her adopter can move at her pace and help her gain confidence. If you’re looking for a sweet, loving companion who just needs someone to believe in her, Popi might be the one. Your new best friend is just one click away.
