About

Meet Poppy

Poppy is a young, sweet-and-spicy terrier mix with springs for legs, a brilliant little mind, and a heart ready to find her forever family! This spunky pup had a rough start—originally found as a skinny, flea-ridden stray. After being cleaned up and rehomed by her finder, she was returned shortly after. It turns out puppies are a lot of work… who knew!? Thankfully, Poppy found her way to us. Since coming to House of Hounds at about 5 months old, we’ve learned some wonderful things about her: Cats: She does great with cats and respects their boundaries. Dogs: She loves other dogs, especially the small dog in her foster home. She’s still gaining confidence playing with larger dogs but has taken a liking to following the adult female pitty in her foster home and copying her every move. While Poppy isn’t dog-aggressive, she’s confident and doesn’t hesitate to correct rough play, so her foster mom feels a home with male dogs or submissive females will be the best long-term fit. Kids: Poppy currently lives with 2- and 3-year-old humans and loves them dearly. She’s still a puppy, though, and is learning not to jump on them. Poppy is high-energy and very smart, which means she’ll thrive in an active home that provides plenty of physical and mental stimulation. Training will be a must, but she’s a quick learner! For instance, she potty-trained very quickly, though the recent bitter cold set her back briefly. (Who can blame her? Pooping in 12 degrees is no one’s idea of fun.) Health Update: Poppy had her first vet visit and is scheduled to be spayed on January 3rd. She’s healthy, happy, and ready for meet-and-greets now! If you’re looking for a dog who is active, intelligent, and friendly with cats, dogs, and kids, Poppy may be your perfect match. Submit an application to set up a meet-and-greet today!
