Story
Adoptable dog alert, meet Poppy! She's a Shih Tzu with a black and white cookie colored coat. She's around 3 years old and just shy of 10 lbs. She's spayed, heartworm negative, and up to date on vaccines and monthly prevention. She's one of the GA breeder dogs, she's vision limited and is missing an eye, her intact eye has a cataract.
About Poppy:
- Dog, cat, and kid friendly
- Former pirate, actual princess
- Fenced yard preferred
Poppy the pirate princess recently decided to fully focus on her princess duties. She may have lost an eye in her previous pirate-y life but it doesn't slow her down in the slightest. She loves people, including her 5 and 7 year old human siblings, and snuggling. She's becoming one of the cutest couch potatoes you've ever seen; and recently discovered that the best place to nap is on your lap!
Poppy is working on house, potty, and leash training. Given her background and vision limitations, she still has some accidents in the house but she's making great progress. She'd benefit from a fenced yard but its not a requirement.
Poppy likes other small dogs and cats, she recently started showing interest in playing with her doggie sibling. She likes having friends around, though she prefers people.
Princess Poppy is ready for her fur-ever family. She's rated for small dogs, cats, and respectful kids (5+). She needs patient and loving adopters who understand her background and recognize that she'll need time and encouragement to acclimate to her new home. She'd do best with people who are around more often than not, especially if she's going to be an only dog. If Poppy is your cookies and cream dream dog, we'd love to see an application from you!
