OUR STORY...

These sweet sisters are darling, healthy pups who have come a long way from the straggly, starving puppies found along a rural street on a freezing morning in mid-December. Their mother appeared to be an Aussie-mix, so that is what we are calling these little girls as well. They appear to have had very minimal socialization prior to coming here, but they are blossoming now and will continue to do so when they have some one-on-one attention in their new Forever Homes.

Getting Along - Poppy


Poppy gets along very well with the dogs in the house. She really just rolls over, belly up at the slightest thing. This had actually made for peaceful interactions between her and my rambunctious boys. She is still a puppy though, and every time I let her out the door she runs from one dog to the other to get them to play. Seamus usually takes her up on the offer, and they play tug with the rope toys often.

She gets along equally as well with her human foster family. Yesterday, she got out of her crate (I left door unlatched,) after a nap, and came right to me in another room. I was folding clothes and when I went to place something in a basket, I looked down to find Poppy sitting there, just watching me. Happy as could be. She didn't even have an accident, and then we went outside were she did her business and ran back inside. She has gone two days without an accident in the house. We are on our way to full housebreaking!
