Poppy - 10 Week Old Mixed Breed - on trial 31/12

Puppy love and loyalty in abundance

10 week old mixed breed, medium size female puppy

Offering so much affection, you’ll never have a cold lap with this cuddlebug.

Whilst Poppy loves to run and tumble with her siblings, it’s people company that impresses her most. She’ll melt your heart with love and loyalty.

Typical puppy behaviour includes lots of waggy tail playtime followed by an equal amount of sleep, then eat. And repeat. Though her true personality is still emerging, Poppy shows intelligence, affection and loyalty. It’s Poppy who will dive right into the middle of the siblings and try and sneak in a little extra playtime - but she gives in pretty quickly and settles for her regular nap.

It would be great to see her go to a home with another dog for company and to help educate her about doggie stuff. But a work from home scenario or where there are kids (over 5 years old) to play with her will also be considered. As a social dog, she would not be happy in a home where everyone is out during the day. Being so young and friendly she should be good with dog-aware children, remembering she is small and easy to hurt if handled badly or dropped.

It’s expected Poppy will grow to be a medium size dog.

Poppy is crate trained and sleeping though the night however, and her toilet training is progressing well. Some training to go, although puppy pee pads catch most of the mishaps and she is practicing really hard on grass. She must be allowed inside and preference will be given to a home where she sleeps inside.

Being so young, you’ll get the chance (and the responsibility) to have a massive impact on how healthy she grows up, her socialisation and most of all how well behaved she becomes via consistent training. Puppy School is highly recommended but is not essential if you are willing to be consistent with her training.

Poppy has had microchip, first vaccination and will be available for adoption now. For more information on Poppy please contact her foster carer on drn.jillian@gmail.com

Poppy is currently foster care at Wallsend NSW, and is NOT available for interstate adoption. As Poppy is not yet desexed, she is only available for adoption to Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Central Coast and Port Stephens because she will need to be returned to a DRN approved vet for desexing when she is approximately 5/6 months old. Please NO out of area applications. Poppy’s adoption fee is $700 and covers her desexing and second vaccination. She has had her first vaccination, microchipping and treated for fleas/worms.
