My story

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


Poppy is a smart, playful dog. She loves giving kisses. She has been through an obedience class and was able to learn some commands like sit/stay/come, but her energy level makes it difficult for her to focus sometimes.

She is very food-motivated, which has helped with training. That said, she doesn't resource guard. She has tried to eat toys or furniture on occasion so we have switched to giving her only tough toys like Kong and Benebone.

Poppy is currently on meds for her hyper-activity and reactivity. Sadly, we have cats and also a family member recently diagnosed with a health issue, that makes Poppy's energy and rough play too much for our family.

When Poppy has been able to run on a friend's farm and play with dogs her size she has been much less anxious and a lot happier. Poppy definitely needs a space to run, and another dog her size would help too. Poppy may not try to eat toys or need meds as she matures, but adopter should follow up on these issues.
