Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
This sweet girl is a 5 year old lab mix who weighs about 50 pounds. She arrived in our care severely emaciated with 4 nursing puppies that were also in need of some TLC. Since she is still gaining weigh, she will likely be 60-65 pounds when she is a healthy weight. Poinsettia can be nervous with people at first, but she warms up very quickly and just wants to be loved.
She enjoys going on walks and spending time outside, but her favorite place to be is wherever you are! Poinsettia has met other dogs and shows potential, but she would prefer a more relaxed dog that can give her a bit of space at first. If there are kids in her forever home, she would do best with kids ages 10-13 and older.
Poinsettia is a gorgeous and affectionate girl who can`t wait to find her new home this year!

All of our adoptable animals are up-to-date on all age appropriate vaccinations, spayed or neutered, de-wormed, de-flea and microchipped before adoptions are finalized. All dogs over six months of age receive a temperament assessment by our Certified Professional Dog Trainer to ensure appropriate placement. Also, many animals in our care receive basic obedience training to improve manners and increase adoptability.
We are currently doing adoptions by appointment only. Please contact us by phone at (234) 212-9843 or email at adoptions@summithumane.org, and an adoption counselor will return your message.

If we have a match for you and your family, an appointment will be scheduled to meet the animal.
