POPPY

 

Female | 5 years old | 50 pounds | Medium energy | Currently lives with a dog | Has interacted with cats on leash | Hasn’t met kids | From Dominican Republic | Fostered in Kitchener | Sweet & affectionate with trusted humans | Looking for an adopter

Everyone, we’d love for you to meet adoptable POPPY. Belly rubs, butt scratches, and naps are her 3 favourite things to enjoy when hanging out with her best friends. Oh and sunbathing, so let’s make those her 4 favourite things. She’s a couch potato after a nice morning jaunt with her dog friends, who she’s become pals with after calm interactions. With that in mind, we think she would do well living with another scruff moving forward since that’s what she’s become accustomed to.

Looking for a home in a quiet, preferably rural environment, POPPY absolutely loves to frolic (AKA run like the wind) and would benefit from living somewhere where she could do just that -- adventures anyone? Green spaces, including trails, are some of her favourite areas to explore. She has some anxious energy, which shows up particularly in city environments, since she is fairly timid with loud noises. This is something you can expect to continue working with her, with our help! In terms of training, she’s working on building confidence and is consistently working on crate training, which is a work in progress. She’s a good walker, too!

POPPY is a great fit for anyone with experience or LOVE for Dominican dogs. She is pretty typical in temperament to most of our SOS rescues from this area (like Mascot Micke!). A 5-year-old dog is a great age that has maturity and still young spirit. We think she has some Whippet or Sight Hound in her, which also makes her a stunner. She warms up quickly and seems to enjoy time spent with her humans.
