Poppy is a speyed Boxer X Staffie girl, aged approxmitately 1-2 years old. The Boxer in her is definitely the prominent breed as you can see from her photos. Poppy came to us from a pound She was found wandering the streets by a member of the public and she almost got hit by a car. When she was found she had obviously had pups no more than two weeks previously, but she was found alone without her puppies
Poppy was in a poor state when she went into foster care but she has made such excellent progress. She has gained weight and blossomed into the beautiful dog she is now. She is an absolute joy to our foster carers, who would keep her if they could! Poppy is extremely affectionate, she is also full of character and fun. Her foster carers have expressed many times how much joy and laughter Poppy has brought to the family.
Poppy is fine with other dogs and could live with a male dog. However we are looking for a home without cats or small furries for Poppy as she would want to chase cats and smaller animals. Poppy could also be homed to a family with teen aged children. She is quite a big, strong girl and therefore she would be too big for young children. Poppy would do best in a home with someone who enjoys lots of walks and the outdoors, she has lots of energy and although she isn’t a ‘dizzy busy’ dog in the home, she thoroughly enjoys the outdoors and plenty of space and walks.
She would also love to be with someone who has experience with dogs, not for any negative reasons, but just because she needs someone who understands dogs to guide her and reassure her. In our foster carer’s words “Poppy loves attention above all else… Cuddle her and the world is a better place! When we come down in the morning, she’s hilarious… she grins and grins and grins and wags and makes HUGE LOUD yawns. Whoever takes her on will be taking on an enormous character”
Poppy is being fostered near Guildford, Surrey. If you think you could give Poppy the loving forever home she is looking for,
