Poppy Smart Girlie

Meet Poppy, a blooming beauty who is ready to plant some serious joy in your life! If you're looking for a partner in crime for every trail and trek, this vibrant girl is ready to grow right alongside you. Poppy is a total firecracker with a heart of gold and a personality that sparkles! She is the definition of "life of the party," greeting every single person she meets like a long-lost best friend. Don't let her athletic prowess fool you; Poppy is a "Gentle Giant" through and through. Whether she's giving out enthusiastic hugs or showing off her lightning-fast learning skills, Poppy brings an infectious, super fun energy to every room she enters. She's the kind of dog who makes every day feel like a sunny afternoon in the park. She is a total velcro dog who just wants to be where the action is! While she has the drive of an adventurer, she is also a world-class lounger who loves to hang out on the couch after a day of play. She loves her "private mini room!" Poppy is crate trained and views her space as a cozy sanctuary to relax. She's been living and playing with smaller dogs (around 17 lbs) and has shown she's a social butterfly who loves to lick her foster siblings' faces every morning to say "hello." She is a dream on a walk and a proud member of the loose leash club. No pulling here, just a girl who loves to stroll and take in the sights. No accidents here! She is a pro at keeping her space clean and follows a household routine perfectly. Incredibly smart, perfectly gentle, and always ready for the next ride. She is a loving explorer at heart, always ready to navigate a new hiking trail or scout out the best local coffee shop patio with you by her side. We suspect Poppy is a Belgian Malinois mix, which means she's got the brains and the beauty! Weighing in at a sleek 45 pounds, she is that perfect medium size, big enough to keep up on a run, but compact enough to easily hop in the car for a weekend getaway. She is a vocal girl, but not for no reason; she just loves to chat and invite her friends to join the party.

Ideal Home

Poppy would be happiest in a home with a medium-energy dog who can keep up with her fun-loving wrestling matches but also knows when it's time to take a collective nap. She is looking for a feline-free home. The ideal home for Poppy is one that matches her zest for life! Because she's a brilliant working breed mix, she'd love an active adopter who enjoys training or outdoor adventures. She would adore a house with a yard to zoom in, but she could also be a rockstar apartment dog for an active person who treats the city as their playground.

Ongoing Health

Poppy is a healthy 45-pound dog. Her adoption fee includes all vetting, including DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad-spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12-month heartworm preventative injectable, heartworm test and treatment if needed, and a microchip with free lifetime registration.

Training & Support

Poppy is a smart cookie who picks up on house rules in a heartbeat! She knows exactly how to scale down her play to be gentle with small dogs, and she's a master of the "play bow" to make sure everyone knows she's a friend, not a foe. She follows a household routine perfectly. She loves to rearrange the pillows on the couch when she's feeling playful.
