Poppy is a sweet and very submissive 4-year-old, 25-pound Jack Russell/Dachshund mix. Poppy's favorite three things in the world are her people, treats, and small stuffed toys, with which she will play Fetch endlessly. She gets along well with smaller dogs, but she cannot be in a home with a larger dog.
First and foremost, Poppy LOVES her people. She looks forward to TV time so she can sit beside them on the couch, or on a lap if she can sneak up. She loves to have her head scratched, her butt scritched and her tummy rubbed. If you happen to tell her what a pretty girl she is while doing any of these, she will be a picture of perfect doggy contentment.
Poppy has her manners down. She is house-trained and totally non-destructive. You give her free reign of the house and will come back to find everything as you left it. Poppy rarely barks. When her foster parents come home, she does an adorable doggy dance of joy. She is very submissive towards other dogs and has zero aggression in her. Bonus points: she likes to be dressed up, as you can see from the photos.
Since she was born, Poppy has lived in a house with large dogs. Unfortunately, recently they have started picking on her. Because she is so submissive, she doesn't fight back or run away. She just tolerates them beating on her and cries. Her family had to keep her sequestered in a bedroom by herself when they were not home to intervene. For this reason, we agreed to re-home her. She likes and will play with smaller dogs, but we don't want her in a home with larger dogs.
