About Poppy
Meet sweet Poppy - our newest inductee into the Freshie hall of fame. Poppy is an 18 month old, Old English Sheepdog mix. Full of plenty of energy looking for a busy family to join.
This sweet girl is looking for a new family through absolutely no fault of her own, and we mean that. Because, she wasn't "technically" supposed to even be here!
Poppy's human mum was looking for a companion for her older dog Tiffany. Having years of experience with OES's, her human was hoping to take on an older dog in need of a new home.
Like fate, Poppy's human found Poppy's mum, Polly. Polly was advertised online, for a small rehoming fee, up to date with vaccinations, worming, was desexed and microchipped. Of course Poppy's human jumped at the chance and like magic, Polly found her new home.
But... (isn't there always some sort of but?) a couple of weeks into living in her new home. Polly gave birth, to two puppies. We'll wait till you scroll back up and double check that you read desexed further up.....
.....found it? yep! her previous owner has said she was desexed! After inquiring about it, her previous owner simply said "well, you should've asked for proof." and ended all communication with Poppy's human.
One of the pup's moved out with a family member and Poppy stayed with her human mum, doggo mum Polly and Tiffany. But 18 months down the line, and after a handful of attempts to rehome her.. Poppy's human needs to find her a new home. Not because she doesn't love her. But because when you're in the older stages of life, three dogs is a bit much, especially when looking after your elderly father.
So while a lot of the time our animals come to us because some humans are just rubbish. This sweet girl is coming to us to hopefully find a family who can give her the active lifestyle she needs.
Poppy is great with medium - large breed dogs that love to play! We'd recommend some training classes to improve on her manner... she can be a bit upfront and full on to some dogs. Poppy is completely house trained, has no escape drive and just adores human company. Poppy needs a family who can mentally and physically exhaust her, like really really exhaust her.
Poppy will be desexed, microchipped and up to date with vaccinations worming and flea treatment. But don’t worry. We actually mean desexed. No surprise surprise puppies 😬🤦🏼♀️
To Poppy’s human - thank you for trusting us to find your girl her perfect home. We know how hard this is for you, just know we feel it too 💕.
