About Poppy

Poppy is a gentle hound mix, slowly discovering that the world is a safer place. Rescued alongside her brother, she came to us timid and underweight but has been taking small, brave steps toward trust every day. While she prefers to observe from a distance at first, her personality shines through once she feels comfortable. With a little love, her eyes soften, her tail wags, and she leans into affection. Poppy benefits from patient care and is becoming more confident as she grows stronger. This young girl is expected to grow into a medium-sized hound mix. She’s not yet spayed and hasn’t had her vaccinations yet, but these will be completed before adoption. Poppy will thrive in a calm, understanding household where she can receive the stability and reassurance she needs to blossom fully. If you're looking to share your home with a sweet and shy companion who just needs someone to believe in her, Poppy is waiting for you.
