YOU MUST COMPLETE A BEST FRIEND PET ADOPTION APPLICATION TO BE CONSIDERED TO ADOPT POPPY. Please apply at: https://toolkit.rescuegroups.org/of/f?c=WHMSYCNC Meet Poppy, a special girl who’s ready to find the a forever home where she can truly shine She’s a house-trained, crate-trained pup who already has a great foundation for home life. While she’s comfortable in a crate, she happily spends most of her time out and about, enjoying being part of the household. She loves to walk and is so excited she will pull at the start but then relaxes. She has a moderate to high energy level, making her a great match for someone who enjoys daily activity and playtime. At home, Poppy is generally a quiet companion, only speaking up when she notices someone passing by. She’s lived successfully with a cat and has shown she can coexist peacefully with feline friends. With adults she does well, we have not seen her around children. Poppy’s relationship with other dogs is good once she is properly introduced and has time to adjust. On walks she will bark at unfamiliar dogs but she has improved greatly. She would love a home with a fenced yard so she can run and play. She would thrive as an only dog or in a home with an experienced owner who can manage introductions. This sweet girl is looking for someone patient and understanding—someone who can give her the stability and love she deserves. In return, she’ll be a faithful companion who just needed the right chance to feel at home. Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed. We prefer applicants who live no further than one hour from Cary NC as our dogs must be seen by a BFPA veterinarian for all medical care prior to adoptions being finalized. Our foster guardians deliver dogs to their new homes for adoption trials and we do home visits to finalize all adoptions. We therefore prefer applicants that live within an hours drive of Cary NC. For the perfect home for Poppy, we will consider applicants who live a bit further away. INTERESTED IN ADOPTING POPPY ?
