About This Dog

Poppy's ideal home

Poppy is an 11 year old Pomeranian with a gentle, sensitive nature, who is looking for a home with patient adopters who can give her lots of cuddles and confidence. She can sometimes find situations a little bit scary and overwhelming, so would benefit from a quiet home in an area without many dogs. Poppy is looking for a lovely retirement home; she enjoys being close to her people, happily soaking up fuss and affection, and she’s also very good at letting you know when she’s had enough by taking herself off for some quiet time. She would love to spend her golden years with a patient, loving family. On walks, she can nervous of strangers and some dogs, so would love a home with a garden where she can decompress and play with her favourite people.

Could you be Poppy's perfect match?

Being a little bit shy, Poppy would be best in a home with children aged 14+, since she'd thrive in a calmer environment. She would love to find her dream adopters, that are happy and confident to work with her helping to be brave and face her fears. Poppy would be happiest in a more rural home environment where she is the only pet in the home, with access to quieter walking areas that aren't heavily used by other dogs. She is a really sweet, cuddly girl with so much love to give, who just needs some support to help her tackle the big wide world!
