Story
GIVES MUSHY PUPPY KISSES
Est. DOB 7/1/23, weight 25 lbs.
Hi! I'm Poppy, an affectionate, playful, and energetic Australian Kelpie/ German Pinscher mix gal who’s also very sweet and gives lots of kisses. I've got the ears and build of the Australian Kelpie, who was bred to herd sheep, but I'm the size and colors of a German Pinscher. I’m an outgoing, sociable pooch whom many people wanted to pet recently when I rode around in the shopping cart at Home Depot. Did I mention I LOVE getting petted -- especially on my belly?
Nothing makes me happier than interactively playing with my pawrents with double-tug rope-toys as well as marathon games of Frisbee. I’m a happy, wiggly gal who loves zooming around the yard. I like to chew on things -- mostly bones and my squeaky toys. My foster family works out in their garage, and I haven't quite gotten the hang of quietly sitting still while they work, but I’m learning because I just enjoy spending time with them.
When I was a young puppy, I was adopted from a local shelter, but later my family abandoned me in my future-foster family's neighborhood. I guess you know that, because of inflation, lots of owners can’t afford their pets and are either dumping them or leaving them behind when they move out. Thank heavens my foster pawrents brought me inside and promised to find me a wonderful forever home. I enjoy playing with their older female dog, but the senior cat hasn’t yet warmed up to my friendly overtures.
So now I’m ready for a permanent home this time around. I would really like to find a family who can love me for just who I am! Do you think it could be you? Arrange to meet me, and I just may cover your face with mushy puppy kisses.
