About Poppy

Poppy is a three-year-old brindle stunner with the kind of ears you won’t forget and a personality that wins over every person she meets. Her early days were rough—she landed in a crowded Houston shelter after being found alone and hungry. It took a caring foster to get her out just in time, and she’s been soaking up love and stability for the last year, patiently waiting for her permanent home. She thrives with routine and attention, greeting everyone as if they’re lifelong pals. Poppy’s currently living in an apartment alongside another dog and does well—she’s fully house-trained, calm in her kennel, and not at all destructive. Playtime is her jam. She lights up at the dog park, gets the zoomies, and is always ready for a walk or car ride. Because she’s energetic, older kids (12+) are the better fit. Fully vetted, spayed, microchipped, and current on every preventive. She’s healthy, ready for transport, and would love nothing more than a family ready for fun, affection, and loyal companionship.
