More about Poppy

P is for Poppy and P is for perfect! Poppy is a 4-year-old spayed female hound mix who just spent 2 weeks with a foster family. She returns to the shelter with an A+ report card! Poppy quickly adjusted to a house full of children aged 3 to 9 and wagged her tail so excitedly for them every morning that the 6-year-old says she’ll remember that “thump thump” forever. Poppy loves a good stretch before going outside and lives for belly rubs. After a short morning walk Poppy settles nicely for the day. She is content to be in the home with her humans but does not require constant activity or stimulation. She’s just happy sunbathing outside or watching you go about your day as long as you’re willing to pause for a belly rub every now and again! Poppy is housebroken, sleeps through the night (and most of the day!) loves riding in the car, does well on a harness for walks, and is school bus stop approved! She will do best with thoughtful introductions with other dogs. Poppy is adaptable, gentle, loyal, and deeply loving with those big brown eyes staring straight into your soul. She will make an incredible pet for one very lucky family!
