About Poppi

Poppi is a lovely Shepherd mix, about 3 to 4 years old, looking for her forever home after caring for her puppies. She arrived at a farm in northeast Alabama as a stray, pregnant and in need of help. Once her puppies found homes, it’s Poppi’s turn to shine. Though she can be a bit shy around new people, give her some time, and she will show her affectionate side. Her foster companion noticed an immediate bond after just a week. Poppi is friendly with children and will likely welcome a young dog into her heart once she settles in, but initially, she would prefer to be the only adult dog in a patient home. Poppi enjoys walks and is potty trained, showing promise on the leash. She has a playful spirit but is curious about cars and squirrels, so supervision will be key. A fenced yard would be ideal for her to roam safely. For potential adopters near Chattanooga, a foster-to-adopt option allows you to get acquainted before the full commitment. After all her hard work caring for her puppies, it’s time for Poppi to find a loving home where she can feel secure and cherished. She’s ready to give back all the love she has to offer.
