POPPY's Story

Meet Poppy!<br/> Poppy is a sweet, medium-energy girl who enjoys a nice balance of playtime and relaxation. She loves romping around with her canine friend, and once they’re tuckered out, she’s perfectly content to curl up beside you for some quiet companionship.<br/> Poppy is still learning to trust new people and isn’t fully comfortable with strangers yet, but with patience and gentle encouragement, she continues to make steady, meaningful progress.<br/> She does well with both dogs and cats after she’s had time to settle in. When meeting new animals, she may initially growl or keep her distance, but with a little time to acclimate, she relaxes and often begins to play. <br/>Poppy is a very shy girl who seems to have had a difficult start. Raised voices easily scare her, and she may yelp or retreat if she feels overwhelmed. Building trust has been slow but rewarding, and Poppy will thrive with someone kind, patient, and committed to helping her feel safe and secure.<br/> She has no concerning behaviors or red flags—just a tender heart that needs a gentle touch. If you are interested in adopting email BARCfoster@houstontx.gov today!

Animals that are already spayed/neutered are able to go home the day of the adoption. Otherwise, they are scheduled for surgery the next available weekday and the adopter may pick up their new pet that same afternoon. BARC supplies cardboard enclosures for transporting cats and leashes for adopted dogs. Because BARC cares first and foremost about the safety and well being of our animals, people who want to adopt must complete an adoption application and agree to an interview with BARC
