My name is Wonder!

Meet Wonder aka Soda Pop (aka Pop Pop, Poppy, Sodie… the list goes on)!

This gorgeous husky girl has lived through more than her fair share of hardship. She miraculously survived a life of neglect and a severe dog attack that cost her a leg—but not her spirit. True to her breed, Poppy is spicy, independent, and full of personality.

The trauma she endured left both physical and emotional scars, but thanks to the dedication of her foster and trainer, she’s learning what it means to feel safe, loved, and cared for—maybe for the very first time. Poppy still has some healing to do, and she continues to work on her resource guarding and trust issues. She’s not a “love at first sight” kind of dog—you earn her heart. But once she lets you in, her loyalty and affection are absolutely priceless.

Poppy needs a skilled, experienced adopter who understands her boundaries, will be patient with her progress, and is committed to continuing her training journey. The good news? She comes with a dedicated team ready to support both her and her adopter every step of the way, even after the transition.

    •    Cats? Yes, with slow introductions.

    •    Dogs? She’s had some positive experiences, but due to her trauma and inconsistency, she’ll do best as the only dog.

    •    Kids? No thank you.

Poppy is a survivor, a firecracker, and a loyal companion waiting for the right person to see her worth. Could that person be you?

This girl has been through it! She was tethered to a tree in a backyard in San Antonio, Texas when two dogs jumped over the fence and attacked her. She ultimately lost her leg. So after coming through the attack, losing her leg and healing, she was still in the predicament of being at San Antonio ACS (Animal Care Services) and ultimately placed on the euthanasia list. After overcoming so much we knew she was a special girl and are so happy we saved her! She now has a bright future before her in Colorado!

Wonder has made the journey North from San Antonio, Texas and is being fostered in Denver, available to meet.

Red Fern Animal Rescue offers a two week foster to adopt trial in your home before finalizing the adoption to ensure the animal is the right fit for you, everyone in the home, human & animal, and vice versa.

Red Fern Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foster-based animal rescue in Denver that saves animals from abandonment and neglect in South Texas for new lives in Colorado. We primarily rescue dogs off the streets and from kill shelters in San Antonio.
