Please fill out the Adoption Application ASAP, and an Adoption Coordinator will be in touch within a few days. Our standard application processing timeline is 12 - 14 days. <br/><br/>Personality | Poppy is an absolute delight with a heart full of love and a bright, cheerful spirit. She brings instant warmth to every room and loves making new best friends wherever she goes. She is so sweet, silly, and loving. <br/><br/>Story | Rescued and brought into care after being found dumped on a roadside, Poppy has left her past behind and is completely ready for a fresh start. She has shown incredible grace and adaptability, proving every single day how ready she is to join a loving home.<br/><br/>Other Dogs | Poppy gets along wonderfully with other dogs, whether playing tag in the yard or relaxing side-by-side. Her polite, friendly social style makes her a great companion for canine siblings of all sizes. She's in a foster home with 10 (!!!!) other dogs currently and does well with all of them! <br/><br/>Cats | This gentle girl is calm, respectful, and completely unbothered around feline friends. Poppy shows a soft, curious nature and easily coexists with cats without any interest in chasing.<br/><br/>Children | She adores kids and treats them with gentle patience, soft affection, and a careful energy. Poppy makes an exceptional family companion who loves joining in on play dates or curling up for family downtime. Poppy would love little humans of her own!<br/><br/>Training | Eager to please and highly motivated by treats and praise, Poppy picks up new cues and household routines exceptionally fast. Her focused nature and quick intellect make learning sessions a fun, rewarding bonding experience.<br/><br/>Leash | She walks like a dream on the leash (with occasional lab zig zagging and excitement haha), keeping a steady pace right by your side without pulling. Daily neighborhood strolls with Poppy are an absolute joy.<br/><br/>Activity Level | Moderate - your typical lab!<br/><br/>Health Notes | UTD and healthy!<br/><br/>Thank you! | <br/><br/>Adoption Donations | Our adoption donations are $575 for dogs 8 weeks to 1 year old, $525 for 1 - 6 years old, $475 for dogs 7 - 10 years old, and $350 for 11+ years of age. Purebred dogs regardless of age are $625. These minimum donations help to defer the costs of initial vet care, food, transportation to Colorado, and supplies while in foster care (that currently average over $750 per dog).<br/><br/>Meeting Dogs | Foster dogs may have meet and greets by appointment to approved applicants only. To become an approved applicant - please complete the application process. We will not respond to emails about animal availability or allow meet and greets without an approved adoption application on file. <br/><br/>Please Note | Available dogs are updated as soon as possible and we do our best to keep it up-to-date, but occasionally dogs shown may become unavailable without notice due to a pending adoption. We can not guarantee that a dog you wish to adopt is available by the time your adoption application is submitted, processed, and approved. Your application is good for one year from the date of applying for any dog as long as it is a good fit for your family and your lifestyle.<br/><br/> <br/><br/>We encourage you to put in an application even if you don't see your new family member currently, as once you are approved, we can place you on the waiting list for first priority on the selection of the dogs we do bring in. That means you can often meet a dog upon transport arrival and adopt before they even make it to this page!
