Description

Dog Breed: Shih Tzu (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 495.00. *Poppy can be adopted now, but will need to wait until December 29th to go to her new home! Meet Poppy — born October 27, 2025, and weighing 2 lbs 5 oz, this tiny sweetheart is the baby of her litter but full of charm and personality! About Poppy's Breed: Our best guess is that Poppy is a Shih Tzu mix. Shih Tzus are affectionate, loyal, and charming little dogs that make excellent companions. They are known for their long, flowing coats, gentle personalities, and adaptability to different living environments. Because of their small size and moderate exercise needs, Shih Tzus thrive in apartments or houses where they can enjoy short walks and plenty of indoor time. Their ideal home is one that provides consistent grooming, a calm environment, and lots of companionship, as they love being close to their humans. Shih Tzus do well with families, singles, or older adults, especially in households that appreciate their affectionate nature and don’t mind a bit of regular coat care. Poppy may have started out small, but she’s made up for it with her big appetite and even bigger heart. She’s super snuggly and loves nothing more than cuddling close, showering her humans with puppy kisses. Her newest trick is sitting up on her little behind and then flopping dramatically onto her side—guaranteed to make you smile! Poppy is small and more timid/shy than her siblings. She needs a calm home where she can be an only pet and enjoy her family all to herself!
