Other important info: Poppy came to us broken, shut down, and fearful. After a few days of decompression, she quickly showed us what a sweet and affectionate girl she is. She loves chasing the ball with her furry foster brother or just hanging out with her human foster mom so she would do well in a house with other dogs or as a singleton getting all of the attention. She has been great on her daily walks and her confidence continues to grow. She will most likely still be fearful in new situations but with guidance and patience, I believe she can do anything. She has been such a great girl to have around the house. One of the best puppies that we have fostered. Poppy's foster mom says she is an absolute joy to have around. She’s a smart, sweet, well-rounded girl. She loves to play with her human and furry friends. She gets along with all! She’s housebroken, amazing on a leash, smart and very treat motivated. She’s the perfect dog for someone who wants to go out with her and explore or just stay home and relax.
