POPPY

My story

Meet Poppy, a female with a gentle, thoughtful, and fearful personality, working diligently to build trust with people and her surroundings. With a low energy level, this sensitive soul thrives in a calm, predictable environment, making her an ideal companion for an experienced, patient home ready to nurture her growth. Poppy is poor with new people, often showing shyness and fear, requiring gentle, positive reinforcement to feel secure. Her comfort with children is unknown, but she handles food removal well, showing no possessiveness. She’s poor with unfamiliar dogs, sometimes growling when approached, and feels safest in a quiet setting with a secure space like a crate or plush bed. Her compatibility with cats and other pets is unknown, so introductions should be slow and supervised. Poppy’s gentle nature shines through her devotion as a mama to Rosie, her quiet observance, and her love for soft meals, soothing baths, and taking meds like a champ. Potty training is okay but needs ongoing guidance, with progress as she adjusts to routines. Her leash skills are unknown, but her food-motivated nature suggests she’ll respond well to training with patience. Poppy’s sensitivity and thoughtfulness make her a unique companion, best suited for an adult-only home that understands her needs. She responds well to gentle guidance, finding comfort in calm environments and secure spaces. While she’s still building confidence around new people and dogs, her eagerness to please and love for treats pave the way for growth. Poppy should be supervised around outdoor animals like chickens or guinea pigs until her behavior with them is better understood. Full of potential and quiet charm, Poppy is ready to thrive in a loving, experienced home committed to building her confidence. With gentle care and positive reinforcement, this devoted, sensitive pup will blossom into a loyal, heartwarming companion. ##2461368##
