About Poppy

Meet Poppy! This lovely 3.5-year-old, 27 lbs Spaniel Mix resides in Houston, TX, and is eagerly awaiting her perfect match. Poppy is looking for an experienced adopter to help her continue improving her leash manners, especially when it comes to her reaction to other dogs. Although Poppy thrives in a home with another dog, her heart desires to be the sole focus of your affection. With her adorable Muppet-like face, Poppy's charming personality captivates all who meet her. She is loyal and devoted, welcoming guests with warmth and grace before settling down quietly. One of Poppy’s remarkable traits is her love for car rides; she often waits at the car door, hopeful for an adventure. She’s food-motivated and quick to learn, especially when treats like cheese are involved. This smart girl boasts excellent house manners, is fully housebroken, sleeps soundly, and patiently awaits meal times. Plus, she has a cute habit of collecting shoes to keep safe in her bed, though she doesn’t chew them. While out on walks, Poppy is eager to please but is currently mastering her heeling skills. She's known to be leash-reactive, so she will do best with a handler who understands how to redirect her focus. If you’re seeking an affectionate and playful companion who is ready to return your love tenfold, Poppy is the one for you! Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
