My story

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

Hello! My name is Poppa!

Meet Poppa
Poppa is a lively and lovable boy with energy to spare and curiosity that never quits. He’s eager to explore the world, make new friends, and be part of the action. With his expressive eyes and playful spirit, Poppa is impossible not to adore.

Energy and Personality
Poppa is full of enthusiasm and thrives with daily exercise and mental stimulation. He loves long walks, active play, and time with his people. He enjoys meeting new people, gets along withcats, and has a big, friendly personality that makes him a joy to be around.

Training and Behavior
Poppa is house trained, knows how to sit, and comes when called. He’s food motivated, goes into his crate easily, and responds well to treats, praise, and redirection. He has been barking at the door and can get a little frantic indoors, but structure has helped him relax and learn good habits. With crate time, a small fenced-off area, and supervised play in the yard, he’s learning to settle and self-soothe.

Social Life
He enjoys the company of people and other dogs and is learning how to balance his excitement with calm behavior. He’s affectionate and likes being near his humans, but also benefits from clear boundaries and routines.

Quirks and Special Traits
Poppa has an expressive face that could melt anyone’s heart. His big, bright eyes always seem to say, “What’s next?” He’s adventurous, clever, and always up for a good time.

Best Home Fit
Poppa will do best with an active adopter who can offer consistent structure, exercise, and affection. A fenced yard and regular walks are ideal for him. He’s learning quickly and will thrive with guidance and attention.

MEET AND GREETS

We primarily rely on meet & greets for potential adopters. Approved adopters may meet adoptable animals at the home of the animal's foster, or possibly in the adopter's own home.

More about this rescue


Operation Paws for Homes, Inc. rescues dogs of all breeds and ages from high-kill shelters reducing the numbers being euthanized daily. We provide foster homes where they can get the love and attention needed before finding their forever homes. Our organization provides pet adoption services in Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland, and parts of Southern Pennsylvania. Operation Paws for Homes, a 501(c)(3) organization, is 100% donor funded and could not save these dogs and fulfill their dreams of being united with their forever families, without the dedication of our incredible adopters, fosters, donors and volunteers. Sadly, without our help, all of these adoptable animals would face almost certain euthanasia - usually within days or hours of arriving at the shelter. Each year we take in hundreds of wonderful animals who were left at shelters by no fault of their own.
