Hi, I’m Poppy! I am a young Catahoula with boundless energy and plenty of love to give! I have aggresive tendencies with other dogs and will require a patient pet parent who is able to keep up with my training and give me the proper exercise. I love hiking, running, and just walks around the neighborhood. I have good obedience: sit, down, stay, place, break, wait, and heel. I am fully housetrained as well. I listen to only one of my owners and may require more training to respond to your commands as well. Give me time, and I will make sure to give you all the love and tails wags I can!
P.S if you are able, please consider adopting one or both of my housemates, Moose and Lady. Moose and I are a bonded pair and would prefer not to be separated if possible. Because I need to be rehomed ASAP due to urgent financial issues and personal problems, any home who can give me love and exercise is welcome to adopt me!
