About Poppy
Walks to Heel, Hearts to Steal
Poppy is a friendly girl who enjoys the company of people, including school-aged children and likes to chill indoors with her humans. She's currently living with a 13 years-old kid and Poppy has become her best friend. She is toilet trained and lets you know when she needs to go out. At bedtime she settles well and sleeps through the night. She is also fine being on her own for up to four hours, and her foster family has not reported any accidents or damage. She is confident with most household appliances, though she still avoids noisy appliances such as the vacuum cleaner.
Mealtimes are easy with Poppy. She is a fast eater and stays relaxed when someone touches her or refills her bowl. She has not yet eaten around other pets.
Poppy is calm with dogs of all sizes. Out on walks she stays by your side at heel and is relaxed around shops, bikes and people passing by. Busy main roads can still worry her, so quieter streets suit her best while she builds confidence.
For car trips Poppy needs a little help getting into the car especially if it's high, but once inside she lies down and settles for the drive. With her moderate energy and curious nature, Poppy suits most homes, including families with teen aged children.
Poppy is not cat or pocket pet tolerant.

Adoption details
Our greyhounds live in foster homes until they find their adoption home. This introduces them to pet life, toilet-training and they learn how to behave inside the home as well as all the new experiences they get on their daily walks. Many spend time in a home with another dog, children and a few sometimes with a cat.
As a safety net for greyhounds who may not otherwise have a chance at finding a forever home, we do our very best to find the right home to match our greyhounds' needs. If you are interested in Greyhound Adoption or Greyhound Fostering, please complete our On-line Application to help us understand more about you and recommend whether the dog you are applying for matches your lifestyle.
