About Poppy

Meet Poppy! This delightful Red Ticked Beagle shines with a smile that's hard to resist. Recently, she lived with a foster family where she enjoyed playtime with their dog, Preacher. Videos of their backyard antics prove just how joyful she can be. Poppy is fully vetted, spayed, and ready for adoption at only 2 years old, weighing in at 37 pounds. Poppy came to us as a stray, and although she has some bowed legs—likely due to her past confinement or nutrition—isn't slowed down by it; she's adapted beautifully. The legs are cosmetic, and vets recommend against surgery, so she's ready to embrace life just as she is. Her charming personality makes her a wonderful companion. Poppy is most comfortable with canine company and would thrive with another dog by her side. Her foster notes mention that she walks well on a leash and has a positive attitude during car rides. Plus, she’s affectionate and great with children. Poppy is ready for her next adventure and her adoption fee is $150. Bring home this beautiful girl today!
