Hello, future fur-parents! Get ready for a dose of charm, a sprinkle of playfulness, and a whole lot of doggy affection with Poppy, the 4-5 year-old pup stealing hearts! If you want a dog who will let you wrap your arms around her and give her hugs, this pup is for you! What makes Poppy stand out? Well, let us tell you! Poppy is the reigning champion of carrying toys around in her mouth, and occasionally hiding them in her crate or giving them a tour of the Great Outdoors (aka her foster family's backyard). Whether it's a game of fetch or a cozy cuddle with her favorite stuffed animal, she's your go-to playmate. Brace yourself for lotttts of affection Poppy knows she's adorable and will shamelessly request for pets and belly rubs whether or not your hands are available. She might be happiest as the only pup in town, with a heart big enough for all the love you can give. Poppy is quite the fashionista, and is currently rocking a unique reverse mohawk, since she's missing some fur on her back. It's growing back, and our vet gave her a clean bill of health the mystery hair loss only adds to her intrigue. Like any proud Aussie, Poppy can be a little vocal, especially while playing or when expressing her opinions. Poppy doesn't bite but can be a bit mouthy when she's in the zone or sharing her thoughts, so we recommend a home without small children for a seamless match. Unlike most Aussies though, Poppy has a pretty moderate energy level and will hang out with you while you watch TV or work from home, but loves if you'd be willing to take her for a short walk first. Poppy is crate-trained and ready to be the queen of her cozy castle when you're away, but she's trustworthy enough to be left out of the crate, as long as you don't leave out food for her to sneak away with. Poppy is fully housetrained and is good on a leash, but may pull a little sometimes when she's excited.Poppy also passed the cat test at the shelter, though her foster family hasn't had any cats for her to charm or check out her behavior with. Poppy can be a bit skeptical when it comes to some new things, so she does well with folks who can be patient and take the time to earn her trust and show her that things aren't so scary. She's a quick learner though and once she knows it's safe, she's a confident pup. When she arrived to her foster home she was very sure that brushes were bad and scary, and with some trust and patience, she's now pretty comfy being brushed. She's still on the fence about baths, car rides, and seeing the vet, but her foster family thinks she'll get more comfy over time. Ready to embark on a journey of love, laughter, and a touch of whimsy with Poppy? This one-of-a-kind furball is waiting for her forever home, and it could be yours! Come meet Poppy, and let the adventures begin! If you are interested in adopting a dog, please fill out our application. Meetings will not be scheduled without an application.
