Meet Poppy

Meet Poppy! A bright and affectionate four-year-old American Pitbull Terrier mix from Chula Vista, CA, whose heart is as big as her 66-pound frame and whose brindle coat glows with sunny warmth—just like her personality. Poppy is the total package for anyone looking for a loving sidekick who can fetch with flair, snuggle like a champ, and flash a grin that'll melt your heart! She’s mastered the essentials like sit, down, shake, and “place” (her cue to head to bed like the good girl she is), and she's fully potty trained—talk about house-ready! But what truly sets her apart is her sweet, silly spirit and her love for life’s simple pleasures. Sunbathing is her absolute favorite, and she’ll happily spend the afternoon stretched out in a warm patch of light, soaking it all in like a four-legged sunflower. When it's playtime, Poppy lights up! She’s a pro at unstuffing plush toys, bouncing after squeaky tennis balls, and tugging ropes with all the determination of a pup on a mission. She’s also a certified foodie—Greek yogurt and string cheese are the way to her heart. Have one of those in your hand, and you’ve just made a best friend for life! While Poppy has leash reactivity around other dogs, she’s eager to learn and thrive in the hands of an experienced caregiver who can support her with daily training and help build her confidence. She may show some signs of separation anxiety at first, but once she settles, she becomes a calm companion. Poppy hasn’t spent much time around other dogs or cats, so continued introductions and observation will help her flourish in a new environment. If you're searching for a loyal shadow, a sun-loving snuggle buddy, and a goofy ball-chaser who’s ready to bring laughter and love to your everyday routine, Poppy may just be your perfect match! Ready to let this sunshine-loving sweetheart fill your days with wags and wiggles? Reach out to [email protected]!
