Poppy (HDS)

My story

** Current Location: in a private shelter in South Korea ** • Rescue Story : Say hello to sweet Poppy—a friendly little guy who was found wandering the streets alone in South Korea earlier this year. He ended up in a high-risk shelter and was sadly placed on the euthanasia list… but thankfully, a rescue team stepped in just in time and gave him the second chance he truly deserves. He’s now staying at a private shelter surrounded by big dogs, and while he’s doing okay, he’s really hoping to find a loving forever home soon! • Personality: Friendly, Affectionate, Calm Poppy is a total lovebug and lapdog at heart. He’s gentle, affectionate, and quick to bond—he just wants pets and cuddles from anyone willing to give them! Because he gets attached easily, he may show signs of separation anxiety, so he’d do best in a home where someone is around most of the time. Compared to other miniature poodles, he’s got a pretty calm nature, though he still enjoys some playful zoomies and outdoor fun! • Affinity with -Cats: Not tested -Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs, but he’s definitely more of a people pup—he’d rather hang out with you than join the dog pack. -Adults/Kids: Great with adults / Good with kids who are gentle and respectful around dogs. • Shedding: 1-2 (1-10 scale) • Food Allergies: None! • Walking Manners: He walks nicely on a leash—no heavy pulling, and he follows your lead well. • Housetraining: He’ll need a bit of potty training in a new home, but he’s a smart boy and should pick it up quickly. • Baths/Brushing: He’s good with brushing and we think he’ll be just fine with baths, too. • Car Rides: Good with car rides! • Separation Anxiety: Because he gets attached easily, he may show signs of separation anxiety, so he’d do best in a home where someone is around most of the time. • Barking/Howling: Whimpers when left alone • Likes & Dislikes: Cuddling is his all-time favorite, and he also enjoys a good game of catch! / The one thing he really doesn’t like? Being left alone. • Health: He has some calluses on the tops of his feet, but other than that, he’s a healthy and happy pup! Poppy is ready to find his forever home—could it be with you? 😊🐾
