My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Miss Poppy was brought to us by some nice ladies that found her running along side of the highway. Thank goodness they saved her, she could have been seriously injured or even killed.

We are so happy Poppy was saved, despite her hard beginning to life, she is a total love. Poppy has beautiful grey fur, like a weimeriener who is about year old.

Poppy has the sweetest demeanor. She smiles when she gets excited. She had the cutest little "teefs".She is good with other dogs and cats making her the perfect addition to any home!!


Poppy says:

I was a stray and lived on the streets for a while. People kept passing me by. Then one day two nice ladies lured me into their car with some popcorn. Hence the name Poppy

I stayed at the shelter with all my friends for about a week and was adopted out, but sadly brought back because they just couldn't give me the attention I needed. That did not dull my spirits though! I'm still smiling. Literally. I smile with all my pretty teeth when I get excited.
I am about a year old.

I still need some work on house training. I've never had anybody to teach me how to go potty outside. But I'm a smart girl and I learn really fast! I've never been around children, but I am a very happy girl so if you introduce me slowly and to nice kids, I think we'll do just fine.

I am curious about cats. They are so much smaller than me and they seem really crabby when I try to smell them. I don't know what that's about. I'm just trying to be friendly. I have a lot of friends at the shelter, I like playing with all the dogs. I have many friends here.

I have been at the shelter for a month. Since I lived on the streets I don't walk on a leash so well. I just want to run and have fun. I would love a big fenced in yard. My friends Kelsey and Kassidy say I am a Weimaraner/lab mix.

I have to have something in my mouth at all times. Whether it be a bone or a toy or just something random I find on the ground, but I really like leaves

More about this rescue

The mission of Castoff Pet Rescue is to save and nurture homeless dogs; to match companion animals with loving, life-long homes; to foster responsible pet care; to control overpopulation in our community through spay/neuter programs; and to assist other shelters and rescue groups in any endeavor to benefit the animals. We believe that the same kindness, compassion, and generosity we extend to our two-legged neighbors should be given to our four-legged friends because they are not able to speak for themselves.
