Story
Poppy is being fostered in Ringwood IL
Drum roll please!!!! Introducing Poppy! This little munchkin weighs all of 11lbs. She is a female Havanese, salt and pepper colored, meaning she is black with white hair dabbled in and has a white stripe on her chest and her belly. Her date of birth is 11/26/2022.
Poppy grew up in a breeder's home and is probably a papered and registered Havanese; but we don't have any of those things. Her original person was a Champion show breeder. She came to MASR because her person fell ill and wasn't able to take care of her and several other Havanese. Poppy has been well cared for in her previous home but is looking for a new lap to hang out on. She is potty trained and crate trained, although we think she probably doesn't need a crate at all. She is crated in her foster home because all the other dogs in the house are HUGE compared to this little girlie.
Poppy will be a flight risk in her new home until she bonds to her person and gets to know the routine. Currently in her foster home, she has a HUGE yard and an aluminum fence and she can fit right through it like it's a weave pole so she is on leash 24/7. Poppy is a little nervous when a human reaches for her, but she will follow her human everywhere all over the house. Poppy has become incredibly fond of the 87 year old woman - with a walker - in her foster home. She loves to sit in her lap, snuggle and be brushed. Poppy walks well on leash, but gets little leash zoomies and will pull a little but because she is only 11 lbs, she doesn't really pull hard. When she gets excited, she makes the cutest little noises and is quite this little talker.
Poppy was picked on by the other dogs in her previous home, so its a must that the dogs in her forever home are nice to her, but she really doesn't even need another dog, as long as she has a lap to sit on, she will be so happy. Right now Poppy sleeps in a crate at night, but we think she would be happiest with some little stairs and sleeping in bed with her human.
