About Poppy (20260226-05)

Poppy is the spunkiest puppy of them all! She is non-stop energy and always jumping up at you looking for your attention. Poppy is loud when she feels ignored, and isn't afraid to let you know exactly what she wants! These puppies don't know how lucky they are! Their momma was found dumped and pregnant on the side of a Kentucky backroad, and a friendly couple decided that they would take in momma at least long enough for her to give birth safely to the babies. When the babies were just a week old, it became very obvious to this couple that they were not going to be able to continue to provide for the babies. Thankfully, a friend was able to connect them to someone who would help and foster the puppies safely from 3 weeks old until they were adopted! These are the puppies now! Thriving, loved, having no idea that they narrowly escaped tragedy twice. They are so energetic, learning manners, playful, and happy to be with people. They would make a perfect addition to just about any home, and should be about medium-sized dogs once they reach adulthood! We are not sure what else they are mixed with, maybe chihuahua or Boston terrier because mom is much smaller than a typical Dutch shepherd!

Ideal Home

Poppy would thrive in a home with a yard, but can also adapt to apartment living. She is good with women, men, and children. While she hasn't been exposed to cats, she is young enough to learn to coexist with them.

Ongoing Health

Poppy is not yet spayed.

Training & Support

Poppy is currently working on house training and crate training. She walks on leash in progress and is not leash reactive. She is not destructive, food aggressive, or a barker. She rides well in the car.
