Poppy - Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie / Australian Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat) Dog For Adoption

View more

she’s happily embracing retirement and discovering just how wonderful life as a beloved family pet can be. At only 1.5 years old and 14 lbs, she’s finally learning how to be a dog! A DNA test showed her to be Yorkie, Mini Aussie, and several other breeds. Poppy is kennel trained and loves carrying all of her favorite toys into her kennel with her. While she’s still a little cautious around new people and unfamiliar situations, she’s making wonderful progress and just needs a patient family to help her continue building confidence. She is doing an excellent job with potty training and has had no accidents in her kennel or in the house when taken outside regularly. She happily sleeps through the night and loves having access to a securely fenced backyard where she can enjoy her daily zoomies. Walking on a leash is still a new adventure for her, but with a little practice, encouragement, and perhaps another small dog to follow, she’ll catch on quickly. Poppy would do best in a home with smaller dogs, as large dogs can be intimidating for her. She can also be protective of her people. During her adjustment period, she may bark at or act tough toward unfamiliar people, just as many little dogs do. She might even attempt to herd them. With patience, consistency, and understanding during her honeymoon phase, she’ll continue to blossom. Because of her shy and fearful nature, Poppy is looking for a quiet home without children. A physical fenced yard is required. When life gets a little busy, she’s perfectly content relaxing in her kennel and watching the world go by. We had her groomed and she will need it again every so often. Poppy is spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to find the forever family she’s always deserved. Her adoption donation fee is $425.
