About

Meet Poppy

Poppy is an eager and happy terrier mix girl, guessed to be around 2.5-3 years old.  She is currently in a foster home that she settled into very quickly as she is eager to make her humans happy. She happily hangs out with the cats in her foster home while they sunbathe and even tries to join in on their playtimes! Poppy would do well as a single dog or in a household with another dog/cat, we don't think she has a preference as long as someone is willing to share their lap with her! Poppy does well when recalled but she is still scared of big, loud things— although she is getting better! We are currently working on not chasing the bikes in her foster moms neighborhood but other than this Poppy walks very well on the leash once she gets her first few minutes of excitement out of her system. Poppy puts her harness on easily but still shows hesitance to over-the-head collars or clothes, but with practice and patience we are getting better :) Poppy does have strong legs and jumps very high, so her forever home should have a tall fence or she must be securely leashed outside as her fear of big, loud, things wouldn't make her a reliable candidate for being an off leash dog. She doesn't show any signs of possessiveness to people, food, toys, other animals, or any other resources, and enjoys being held. So far Poppy has learned to sit, laydown and spin! Likes: •bully sticks/ chew toys •tennis balls / fetch games  •car rides! •digging holes  •rolling in the grass/ in carpet •napping with her humans ♥️ Dislikes: •bath time! Grooming makes me nervous, I'm working on not being so scared! •big trucks/loud noises/power tools… but foster mom is working on it and is seeing improvements! •bicycles! I like to bark and try to chase them!  Poppy's adoption fee is $250 and includes her spay, microchip, current vaccines and heartworm testing.  Poppy is seeking a home as an indoor dog only, if you would like to meet her please submit an adoption application through our website, Adopthope.org.  Last Hope requires that adopters who have had animals have a history of having kept them altered, kept current on annual vaccines and as indoor pets only. Our adoption process includes a vet history check and a home visit.

Adoption Process
Prior to adoption, all of our dogs have been tested for heartworm, current on vaccinations, micro-chipped, and spayed or neutered, if age appropriate. Our adoption process includes reference and background checks, a vet check and home visit. The adoption fee for dogs and puppies varies. Prior to adoption, our cats have been tested for feline leukemia, current on vaccinations, micro-chipped, and spayed or neutered, if age appropriate. If at the time of adoption, the kitten is too young to be spayed or neutered, an agreed upon time frame will be set for when this procedure is to be done. Spaying or neutering is not an optional procedure, it is required of all animals we rescue. The adoption fee for cats and kittens varies.
