About Poppy ~ 2yr Old Wolfhound X (On Trial 6/12/2020)
Meet gorgeous Poppy, a loving and cuddly 2 yr old female wolfhound x who is looking for her forever family.
Poppy just loves her people and wants nothing but cuddles to make her life complete. If given the chance she would love to be your lap dog and will put her paws up on your shoulders to give you a hug. She will be a great addition to an active family and just wants to join you on your adventures. She still has some of her puppy energy and excitement when introduced to new things, but otherwise is a gentle, placid girl who will happily cosy up to you on the couch if you are looking for a more relaxing day.
Poppy is enthusiastic about exploring the outside world when she first gets out for her walk but calms down once she gets going – with practice she would be a great walking buddy and would benefit from a good daily walk and a bit more exposure to new and interesting things. Poppy’s nature means she is very happy meeting new people, especially if they might give her pats! She currently lives with kids and is great with them, however given her size and her current habit of jumping up to say hello and get lots of hugs, she would be best living with older children only and will benefit from help learning how to introduce herself without jumping.
Poppy has grown up with another female dog, but they are no longer getting on. She is friendly with male dogs that she meets but then is happy going off and doing her own thing. Poppy would be best in a home where she will be an only dog, or possibly living with an older male dog who can help Poppy grow and learn. Controlled socialisation and some focused training would really bring out the best in this girl, and with so much love and affection to give we think she will make a wonderful member of the family.
Poppy is housetrained and will need to be welcomed inside with you when you are home. She is used to living in a busy household with people around most of the time, and although she can spend time on her own, given her love of human attention she would be best in a home where there is someone home more often than not. She has her basic training including sit, and can wait for food, but sometimes things out and about can be very distracting and she forgets to come when initially called.
If you are looking for a big lap dog who will show you nothing but unconditional love and affection, then Poppy is your girl! Her affectionate, gentle nature will make her a great addition to any family. For more information on Poppy, or to enquire please contact Lauren on laurendogrescue@gmail.com.
