Meet Poppy, the playful and intelligent puppy who is ready to steal your heart! This delightful little girl is full of energy and loves to play, making every day an adventure. Poppy is also a budding learner, showing great progress with her potty training and crate training, though she will need a bit more guidance to become fully confident.
Poppy is a smart pup who responds well to the word "No," demonstrating her eagerness to learn and understand her boundaries. She’s currently mastering the command "sit," and with a little patience and consistency, she’ll be a pro in no time! Like many puppies, Poppy can be a bit mouthy, so gentle reminders and chew toys will help her navigate this playful stage.
One of Poppy's favorite pastimes is entertaining herself with her toys, showcasing her playful spirit and independence. Whether she’s happily chewing on a squeaky toy or engaging in a game of fetch, Poppy knows how to keep herself entertained.
But don’t let her playful nature fool you—Poppy is also a true lovebug! She thrives on affection and is always ready for snuggles and cuddles after a fun play session. If you’re looking for a sweet, intelligent, and playful companion who will fill your home with love and laughter, Poppy is the perfect match for you. Adopt this charming little pup and enjoy the journey of training and bonding with your new furry friend!

- Adoption fees include vaccines up until time of adoption, microchip, spay/neuter and 1st 30 days of free Pet insurance. We are not affiliated with Pet First pet insurance. (you have to sign up for the insurance or it will not go into effect). Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets.
- The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico. While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances.

- Breed labels are a "best guess" by a shelter veterinarian and cannot be guaranteed.
- A new study has concluded that (in layman's terms), breed assumption is NOT indicative of behavior in mixed breed dogs. Therefore, if a dog looks presumably to be a German Shepherd breed, one cannot assume the dog will have a high prey drive. From the study: "Although many physical traits were associated with breeds, behavior was much more variable among individual dogs. In general, physical trait heritability was a greater predictor of breed but was not necessarily a predictor of breed ancestry in mutts. Among behavioral traits, biddability—how well dogs respond to human direction—was the most heritable by breed but varied significantly among individual dogs. Thus, dog breed is generally a poor predictor of individual behavior and should not be used to inform decisions relating to selection of a pet dog" - https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abk0639
