About Poppy

Meet Poppy, a delightful and goofy gal looking for her new home. This sweet 2-year-old Pointer mix, tipping the scales at about 55 lbs, is back with us after her previous family decided she needed a different environment. Poppy thrives on mental stimulation and would do best in a household that promotes training and socialization with other dogs. She’s house-trained and knows her commands well, although she can still pull on the leash occasionally. Spending time engaged with her through bonding games will make walks more enjoyable. Poppy gets along well with cats, but introductions should be handled slowly to ensure everyone’s comfort. Her adoption fee is $300, which helps cover the cost of her spay, microchip, vaccinations, and flea and heartworm prevention. Ready to welcome Poppy into your home? What are you waiting for?
