FACTSHEET: ALL ABOUT Poppy | |

Pictures (click to enlarge previews) | |
Poppy is very affectionate and craves attention. She is bright and enthusiastic, she learned to walk on leash very quickly and loves coming out with us. Her favourite thing is to have a person sit with her and spend time together, she wants to be stroked and basically have company. She should settle in well to a home where she can have company most of the time, as she does just relax alone when we are not around. She finds it very frustrating and lonely to be in the shelter, so we hope to find her a home. | |
Poppy was living in a small village in the countryside near Argos. We took her in only for sterilisation and testing, however she tested positive to leishmania so we needed to take her in to give daily medication. | |
