Poppop is a super sweet 80-lb goofball and is around 10 years old. He came into our program because he has diabetes and the shelter setting was not ideal for him. He is up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, heart worm negative, and microchipped!

Poppop requires specialized care for his diabetes. He will need an adopter who can not only afford to provide his insulin, but can also give him his subcutaneous shot twice daily. He currently eats a grain free diet and will need to maintain that diet or could potentially do well with a raw food diet. This helps him maintain healthy glucose levels. We know this all sounds like a lot, but in reality, Poppop is a pretty low maintenance dude just looking for someone to shower with love and loyalty for the rest of his life! He loves nice pets, carrots, the occasional rope toy, and the company of other dogs.

Although he probably would do best somewhere with a yard, we think he could do well in a smaller living space, too, because he mostly likes to nap while in the house. He does really need a place with quick and easy access to a potty area, though, as he urinates frequently due to the diabetes. He will let you know when he needs to relieve himself by scratching one single time at the door and waiting to be let out. When he does, he really needs to go out quickly to relieve himself.

Poppop does enjoy the company of other dogs. However, he likes to take time for himself when needed (to nap). He’s also really good with children. He cannot, however, be around cats!! He is a Hound Dog through and through, and they trigger his hunting instinct.
