SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS - Poppy is a lovely little girl ready to join her forever family! She came to us recently from an NC shelter partner. They had spent weeks trying to catch her as she roamed in fear and became emaciated. As soon as she arrived we felt something was not right with her, and an X-ray showed she had an impacted colon. Surgery revealed this sweet girl was eating wood, fibers and anything else she could find to stay alive. She was only a little over half what her normal weight should have been. Poppy has now recovered from the surgery and the ordeal, and is in good health. She has steadily put on weight and is learning to love and trust humans. She is gentle, quiet, and good with the other dogs in rescue. Poppy has been spayed, microchipped, given all her vaccines, and she has tested negative for heart worms. Poppy is now 18 pounds, and should top out at about 20 pounds. She is on the small side, and a perfect size for most homes! We are seeking a home with an adopter who has the ability to work from home or be at home the majority of the day to continue to help Poppy attach to humans. Her time on the run has made her tentative, though she is quickly learning to trust.A home with a fenced, secure yard is a must.

Our adoption process starts with your email to carerescue@aol.com or Adopt a Pet inquiry. After we receive it, we will email you our prescreening questionnaire. Your answers will help us determine that your home and lifestyle matches the needs of Poppy and our adoption criteria. Once determined, we will set up a private meeting with you and your family to meet Poppy at a park near our private kennel just east of Richmond. After meeting her and determining that she matches your preferences for a pet, we will accept your application. A home visit by one of our trained volunteers is required for all adoptions, and we will speak with your vet to ensure that you are a responsible pet owner.
