Poppy

Breed: German shepherd mix DOB: 05/22/2024 Sex: Spayed female Weight: 12 pounds Approximate adult weight: 60 pounds Foster near Grand Rapids, MI HI! I’m Poppy! My bother and I came to APB from a shelter down south. We don’t exactly know our breeds, but we all look like we have Shepherd in us. My foster mom says I look like “Dobby” but I don’t know who that is! I am a spunky and crazy little puppy dog. My feet don’t always cooperate with my body, especially when I jump and spin around. I do love to snuggle, but sometimes I tell my foster parents I want to snuggle then change my mind and bite their noses or ears…apparently they don’t like that as much as my brother does. I love to play with the big dogs too, but they don’t like it when I just run into them and body slam them. Boring big dogs! I like to try to play with kitties too! I like to stick close to my humans when I’m outside, even if my brother doesn’t. I tried to chase a duck once, and ducks are mean! I love to roll around in the grass outside and sniff things but only if everyone else is outside too. I am a good girl in my crate, but sometimes at night I do have to go potty, so I whimper and mom lets me out to potty, then I get a cookie and go right back to bed, until the sun comes up and it’s play time again! She gives me a big crate for when she leaves during the day and I go potty on a wee wee pad like I’m supposed to, she’s gone too long to hold it like the big dogs do, but I don’t potty on my blankies. I am still working on having this stupid collar on and I hate it, it itches me! So we haven’t worked on leash training yet, I’m not sure how that’s going to go! Time will tell, I guess! I’m still a baby and have much to learn! I’m going to be a great dog when I grow up as long as you teach me how! I think I’m pretty darned smart already! Do you want a new snuggle buddy? A new adventure pal? I like going bye-bye too, take me fun places please! If you have any questions, please email [email protected] .
