POPPY SEED (A COURTESY LISTING IN COLUMBIA, IL) - BORDER COLLIE / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Border Collie / Mixed (short coat). Poppy Seed (Poppy for short) is a 5 year old female BC mix with a rescuer in Columbia, IL, who was able to remove Poppy from a situation in which she was subject to mistreatment. The rescuer is seeking a forever home for Poppy where she will be loved, trained, and helped to recover from her early years. Her rescuer describes her: Poppy is an approximately 5 year old Border Collie. She came from a bad home [and needs a home that will] give her the time and attention she needs. Poppy is very sweet and snuggly, playful, can be independent, easy to please, and is very well behaved when home alone. She learns pretty quickly and enjoys making you happy in her growth. Her favorite toy is the jolly ball or herding ball. She loves to play "goalie." Sometimes she asks for "uppies," but doesn't like the process of being put back down. LOVES hugs if not okay with "uppies." Loves walks and is good on leash. Sometimes can get a bit excited of course, but doesn't pull badly when she is excited. She's been a treat to have around! Her only real issues are being fearful in the crate, and sometimes with her food. We have been working on this, and she's been doing well! Poppy has not been around children or cats, and she will need to be tested for heartworm and put on monthly preventive.
