About Poppy

Poppy is an energetic and affectionate girl who brings a joyful spirit wherever she goes. She enjoys playing with chew toys and balls, celebrating life with every wag of her tail. Although she hasn't shared a home with dogs recently, she has had dog companions before, showing her adaptability. Poppy adores children but sometimes forgets her size and may jump when excited, so supervision is key with little ones. She is crate trained and generally does well on a leash, although she can be a strong puller. While she is mostly potty trained, she might have the occasional accident, so be prepared for that. Poppy will thrive with regular exercise, mental stimulation, and ongoing training to channel her enthusiasm. Feeding time requires some extra attention; she should eat separately to ensure her comfort and safety. Give her the love and attention she deserves, and you'll have a loyal companion ready for adventures. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
