Poppy

How would you like to love a little girl with a big personality? I’m four kilos of love and fun! Hi I’m Poppy. I love a game of fetch, cuddles on the couch and being a lap dog.

I’m good at staying on my bed if asked, fully toilet trained and crate trained at night. I know how to respect boundaries in my new house and I’m good about travelling in my car crate. I know how to sit, drop and stay but I prefer to play. I’ll come if you call me – mostly! I can get distracted from time to time so foster mum says no off lead in public for me just yet. Oh well!

I’m looking for a family who is often home as I don’t like being on my own a lot, though I will hang out in my new yard when you go out but I’ll want to be your little shadow when you’re around. I can get nervous if roughed up so no little kids please. I would like a doggy sibling who is bigger than me, calm and mature, but not one who would get in my face or try to force me to play. I also don’t mind cats.

I know I sound perfect – and I admit I am pretty close – but I don’t like to be on my own, so please give me a friend for when you’re not home. Sometimes I like the sound of my own voice. Sometimes I get overexcited when I greet you and I spin in circles, although I have learned not to jump. I can be dominant towards little dogs in a way that I don’t do with bigger dogs.

Foster mum says I’m very cunning and will push the rules if allowed to - give me an inch and I’ll take a mile – I don’t know what she means! She says you should be someone who can be firm but loving with me, just cause I’m little doesn’t mean I won’t take advantage of you.

I’m desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed and heartworm treated. I have two dislocating patellas that don’t bother me and I take a supplement in my meals to help them stay strong. Maybe they will need fixing one day but the vet thinks that won’t happen if I eat my supplements.

Please come find me I’m waiting for you.
