POPPY - PUG / AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG/BLUE HEELER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Pug / Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed (short coat). Poppy is the sweetest girl around! Poppy is a 14-week-old ball of love looking for her fur-ever home. She is quick to win people over with her charming personality and love of cuddles. When she isn't comfy in someone's lap, she is racing around with her sister and will never turn down some wrestle time. Poppy weighs about 15lbs and will likely be around 40-50lbs when fully grown. Poppy was surrendered to us with her 7 siblings after the previous family had an unintentional litter of puppies and needed help finding the puppies good homes. Poppy's mom is an Australian cattle dog and her dad is a pug. Poppy has been in a foster home with her sister Lilac, but she is looking for a forever home of her own. Poppy is a curious girl who has a busy little mind and body. She is looking for an active home that can keep up with her energy and dedicate the time to continue her training and socialization. Poppy is a smart, food-motivated girl and has already learned her name, and how to sit and come when called. Poppy has done great with the other small dogs in her foster home and could be a great little sister to another playful dog. She can be shy with larger dogs but could do well with a slow introduction. She also could do well as an only dog as long as she has lots of doggie friends. We haven't seen Poppy around cats, but she may do well with dog-savvy cats with a slow introduction and proper supervision. Poppy could be a wonderful addition to a family with kids 7 years and older. Poppy is still working on her housetraining but has been making great progress. Her new family will need to be patient with her while she is learning and expect accidents. She has been doing well with her crate training and will sleep through the night in her crate. She has always been with her sister, so she will need some time to adjust to being on her own and needs a family with a schedule that will allow Poppy to slowly be acclimated to being home alone. Poppy is such a lovely girl and is going to make the best new addition to a family. If you think that family might just be you, submit an adoption application today! Poppy's adoption fee is $450.
