Meet Poppy:

Poppy is a truly lovely girl with a soft, affectionate heart and a deep devotion to her people. She is one of those dogs who wants very much to be included in the life of her family — close by, involved, and sharing in the little moments that make a house feel like home. Sweet, social, and deeply loving, Poppy is a true snuggle bug who forms strong bonds and thrives on connection.

She is especially wonderful with children of all ages and absolutely adores the grandchildren who come to visit and play. There is such a sweetness in the way she engages with children — joyful, gentle, and happy to be part of the fun. She would be such a lovely fit for a home where family visits, grandchildren, and togetherness are a meaningful part of life. In many ways, Poppy would be especially wonderful for a young, active retired couple looking for an affectionate and engaging companion to share both everyday life and special family moments.

Poppy is also beautifully trained and has an exceptional foundation for her age. Her recall, leave-it, place work, loose-leash focus, and ability to settle during the day are all especially strong, and her off-leash recall is very impressive for a 10-month-old dog. She is the kind of girl who truly wants to please her person, and when expectations are clear and fair, she responds with wonderful heart and willingness.

She has a playful, energetic side as well, and she enjoys engagement, routine, and structure. Poppy does best when life feels predictable and connected, with someone who appreciates both her loving softness and her bright, interactive nature. She is still a young dog, so thoughtful supervision and continued routine will help her continue maturing beautifully, but she already has so much to offer.

Poppy can do well with another dog, but her strongest bond is with people. She is not simply looking for a home — she is looking for her people. The family who welcomes her will have a devoted, responsive, affectionate companion who wants very much to be part of life by their side.

Poppy is a very special girl — beautifully trained, full of heart, wonderful with children, and ready to become a deeply loved part of the right family.

As a plus, Poppy has all of her preliminary health certifications done for hips, elbows, heart, and eyes through OFA (orthopedic foundation association for dogs) at excellent levels for all.
