My Story

Meet Poppy aka "Pop Tart"! She is an adorable 3 year old Shih Tzu/Maltese mix. Poppy weighs 11-12 pounds, is spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations. Poppy was found on the streets of Detroit. Unknown how long she was on her own. Poppy’s owner passed and her remaining family neglected her. We rescued her in late December. Poppy was so matted we had to get her shaved. She is good with other dogs and loves people. Poppy loves to be held and cuddle with her foster Mom or people she just meets. She also loves to curl up close to her foster Mom in bed. Poppy chased cats in her foster home but wasn’t aggressive with them. Because Poppy was living on the streets she is relearning housebreaking. She is learning to go outside with her dog housemates and getting better every day! Poppy will need a solid routine and practice - someone at home - retired or working - would be ideal owner. Doesn't signal to go out so she will need to have regular outside trips. IMPORTANT: Due to history on the street, Poppy should be on a leash ALWAYS when she is leaving the house, and for now, even to go potty. Harness recommended for walks. Careful opening doors. She is a runner, so extra caution is needed until her habits and level of comfort are well known. Could escape into small gaps under a fenced yard so need a well-fenced yard with no gaps at the bottom. MICROCHIP needed!
