About Poppa

Meet Poppa! This charming 8-month-old Boston Terrier mix, weighing around 21 pounds, is eager to find his forever home. He was surrendered to Rockwall Adoption Center because his previous family could no longer care for him and his sibling, Olive. Poppa is a friendly and playful boy, still very much a puppy who needs a loving family to nurture him as he grows into a lifelong companion. Poppa already has a solid foundation; he walks well on a leash, is crate-trained, and gets along wonderfully with other dogs, children, and even cats! His new family should be ready to invest time in continued training and socialization to help him thrive. Although his adoption fee isn't listed, it includes being neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date with vaccinations, all set up for a veterinary appointment on October 14, 2026. If adopted prior to that date, his new family must bring him back for this necessary procedure. If you're searching for a sweet, playful companion to join your family, Poppa could be your perfect match! Click apply to start the adoption process.
