Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Poppy! Poppy is a very sweet, lovely girl, approximately 11 year old spayed, microchipped and fully vaccinated Pitbull mix (perhaps with some kind of hound?) She came to the shelter as a surrender on May 28th when her owners feared Poppy may snap at their child when their child would climb on poor old Poppy’s back. Poppy has never bitten and has no history of aggression! These were not Poppy’s first owners, after receiving multiple comments on Facebook, we’ve determined Poppy has had at least 4 or more homes in her lifetime. Poppy is an extremely friendly dog with all humans, although can be shy or scared at first. She has been previously abused and someone has taught her that when she is bad, she is called “Popcorn” which causes her to shake uncontrollably when you say that word. This has begun to change with positive reinforcement to the name, although she prefers if you call her “Poppy”! This beautiful smiley girl wags her tail a mile a minute, knows tricks and loves to bark when you visit her in the dog room. She loves going for walks and is very good on a leash. She enjoys stopping to roll and play in the grass or receive long belly rubs. Poppy is calm inside the shelter, although once outside she does have quite a bit of energy in her! She gets along very well with medium, large and extra large dogs. Poppy is non-dog-reactive inside of the shelter, although we have been told that she does not get along with cats or other fast, small animals. She wants to chase anything small that runs quickly; whether she simply becomes overly excited and playful or if it is aggression, we do not know as Poppy is fine with cats and kittens when they are in cages and has no issues walking by any dog, no matter how small, in the dog room. She tends to focus on whoever is walking her. Overall, Poppy is a very loving dog and loves spending time with people, giving kisses and being apart of a family. Poppy would love nothing more than to finally find her “Forever Home” for how ever many years she has left. She loves to cuddle and be petted. Poppy weighed 44.2 when she was spayed by the shelter on June 28th, but unfortunately lately the stress of living in a kennel has been taking it’s toll of poor Poppy and she has been losing weight. In her time at the shelter, Poppy had been adopted out however was returned for no getting along with the family's 2 cats. The family has described Poppy as the most "Perfect dog!" and wish they could own her if it wasn't for their cats.
