About Guppy

Meet Lieutenant Guppy, a 10-12 month old, 40 lb Poodle mix with a long black and white coat, currently waiting in Dellslow, WV. She’s a sweet, affectionate dog who warms up once she feels secure and is especially close to her canine buddy, Trout. Guppy didn’t have the easiest beginning and is still learning what it means to be a regular puppy. Each day she’s becoming braver, especially with the help of her friends and volunteers. Wrestling and chasing with Trout are her favorite games, but she also adores toys, running around for a round of zoomies, and spending downtime with people. Guppy is house trained and progressing nicely with her leash and crate skills, though being picked up still makes her a bit anxious. She’ll thrive in a home that gives her patience, continued training, and time to adjust. Referrals for trainers are available to help her transition. She does well with other dogs, cats, and people. Guppy is spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and has her flea and tick prevention up to date. She’s ready to find a patient, caring adopter who wants to watch her confidence blossom.
