Poppy and her littermates arrived to us from a kill shelter located in West Virginia.  They were marked "very urgent" and their time was just about up!  However, they are all safe now and on their way to finding forever homes.  As always, this is just another litter of pups that someone dumped like trash.  Fortunately, someone found them and turned them into the shelter as odds are they would have not survived as puppies out in the wild.

Poppy is one of four females in this litter and is the biggest female as well.  Her body is fawn and her face has merle coloring....thus, why we think she is a mix of australian shepherd and boxer.  According to her records, she somewhere around 13 weeks old and she currently weighs approximately 16 pounds.  She is thick and is most likely going to grow to be a large dog. 

Poppy is a little shy, but very sweet!  She does enjoy romping with her littermates and cuddling with them during nap time.  These pups are at the point where they squabble, however, Poppy is never involved.  She just clears out if one of them wants to challenge her. We have been spending extra time holding her to help her with her socializing.  She is quite content to curl up on my lap and fall asleep :-)    Poppy is pretty friendly with me, however, she seems to be more timid around men.  She will need to be placed in a calm home with no children.  She really needs a family that will take her out to socialize with other people and other dogs to help her blossom.   She is a wonderful, sweet puppy that just needs some extra attention to help her along.

Poppy has received her all 3 of her distemper/parvo vaccines, rabies vaccine, and dewormed 3 times.  Her adoption fee is $250.
