My personality

My story

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

Poppy is the kind of dog that will bond quickly and will be your best friend forever!!

Poppy enjoys exercise.
• Leash walking is new but fun!
• Poppy likes to play fetch with a tennis ball!
• Poppy loves having daily exercise and is in average physical condition.

Poppy is a bit underweight but has been gaining since arriving at foster care. Currently weighs 65 lbs. She has also gained energy and stamina every day she goes out to play.

Poppy likes meeting new people.
• Poppy willingly meets new people. She approaches people as if she already knows them! Once she fully accepts you, she likes to lean against you.
• Poppy has met several people while in foster care and has had the same behavior with everyone. She hasn’t met a person she doesn’t like!

Poppy is a smart girl.
• She knows sit, down, shake hands, and is working on come-when-called. She also does a little hand-touch exercise.
• Poppy is a fast learner, enjoys the attention she gets while learning, and has come to love treats!
• Poppy would do well in a public obedience class or other dog activities such as scentwork.

Poppy wants to be part of the family.
• When she’s in the house, she hangs with people and is very mellow.
• Poppy responds very well to praise! She likes being talked to sweetly and enjoys being petted.
• She handles brushing/combing very well.
• Poppy interacts well with the other dogs in foster care.

If you think you can offer Poppy a home where she can stay forever, please call us to talk! (505) 877-7352. Poppy’s adoption fee is $350 which aligns to the cost of initial veterinary services. This is a really nice dog!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

A phone call starts the process. We're looking for a dog/home match so we'll ask questions about what you're looking for in a dog and what your home setup is like for a dog to live there. If it seems like a match, we'll have you come over and meet the dog. If it continues to appear to be a match, we will ask the adopter to sign a contract. If the dog does not work out for the new owner, we ask to have first right of refusal in taking the dog back. Adoption fees are typically set at $350 - reflects costs for initial veterinary care.
