Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Poppy, a precious 3 year old, 8 pound Yorkie girl being fostered in Georgetown, TX. Only Texas applicants will be considered.
Hello UYR my name is Poppy, Miss Poppy if we're being formally introduced. All this rescue stuff is new to me. All I know is I had a family and then all of a sudden I didn't have a family and was put in a shelter where I had to stay in a cage until the nice lady from UYR swooped in and rescued me.
I now live with my foster Mom and Dad, which is like my family but only temporary. I really want to have a furever family that is not temporary. I know you're out there somewhere just waiting for me. I can give you lots and lots of love, as that's what I know how to do and I do it really really well! We can go on walks together every single day, and I promise to sit in your lap while you relax in front of the tv or when you read a book or when you're chatting with your friends. I will also share my toys with you, I really like the soft ones with the squeakers that we can play tug together with and throw in the air so I can get them and bring them back. It's such a fun, fun game!
I need someone that understands that I'm afraid of the dark and get a little scared when people other than my favorite person go in and out of the room. I'm not trying to hurt them by running, barking, and every so often nipping, I'm just startled and need some help to calm down. Because of this, I probably need to be an only dog and not have any young little sized people in my immediate family.
I'm still really young and very trainable, I promise to work hard to be your favorite faithful companion. I like riding in a box in the car and I fit really well in those air jail carriers. As long as you're with me I'll go anywhere and promise not to make a scene. Although, if other people want to pet me and tell me how pretty I am I will allow them to do that -- but only if you want.
Please fill out the UYR application for me so we can meet and begin our life together! I'm anxiously waiting for you!
