Poppy's Story

Meet Poppy Sue <br/><br/>Poppy Sue is a 1-year-old Pomeranian/chihuahua mix weighing 11 pounds, and she is pure heart in a tiny package. This sweet girl is a true velcro pup—she wants to be loved on, held, and cuddled as much as possible. Once Poppy chooses you, she's all in and will happily follow you to the ends of the earth.<br/><br/>Poppy did come into rescue with a bit of separation anxiety, but she has made huge improvements with consistent training and reassurance. As long as her routine and confidence-building continue (without backtracking), she will only keep getting better. She simply needed to feel safe and secure—and once she does, she truly shines.<br/><br/>She does great with other dogs, cats, and people, and would be best suited for a home with older children.<br/><br/> Please note: Poppy's previous pup parent had her shaved down prior to coming into rescue. We do have a before photo that shows her natural coat, and her beautiful fluff will continue to grow back with proper care.<br/><br/>Poppy is completely vetted and ready to go—all she needs now is a loving family to call her own. <br/><br/> <br/><br/> Location & Adoption Requirements – Please Read Carefully<br/><br/>We are located out of Bonifay, Florida and are a foster-based rescue.<br/><br/> We do not have a physical location.<br/><br/> Fenced Yard Requirement<br/><br/>All dogs require a securely fenced yard.<br/><br/>This is a requirement, not a suggestion, and exceptions are not made.<br/><br/>‍‍ Children in the Home<br/><br/>Unless otherwise specified, our dogs are available to homes with children ages 13 and older.<br/><br/>We often take in timid and sensitive dogs, and each dog's behavior, history, and comfort level is carefully evaluated to ensure the best match.<br/><br/> Pickup & Adoption Area<br/><br/>• All dogs must be picked up in person<br/><br/>• No transport available<br/><br/>• We adopt within a few hours of Bonifay, Florida<br/><br/> An approved application is required before any meets are scheduled. <br/><br/> <br/><br/>These guidelines are in place to protect our dogs and ensure successful, lifelong placements.<br/><br/>Thank you for understanding and respecting our adoption process.

Sammy's Hope Rescue's Adoption Policy
Please read before submitting an application We do require a approved application for meet and greets. Why? Because otherwise we would be meeting with people who we would not adopt to and it would use a lot of time and resources for no reason. Since I do 99.9% of the meet n greets it's my time and gas. :) Remember we do not have a facility. We are foster based. We do require a fenced yard. Why? Because dogs deserve a safe open area to play in off leash. We do not expect dogs to be left alone in the yard or to be outside dogs. I often hear that. That is not why we require a fence. We do realize this will exclude some people. It is still a requirement. Dog parks are not considered a fenced yard. They can be a very dangerous place for a pup. We also require a home check. Why? Because we want to make sure the home is a safe environment. You would be surprised what I have seen. I could care less if your home is spotless. It should be safe though. If money is a issue please address that before all other steps are taken. Adoption fees are required to keep the rescue open. We only exist because of adoption fees and donations. We are a small rescue with limited funds. Adoptions are never ever first come first serve. Applications are accepted until we get a good match. It may take 1 application for that and it may take 10. We are trying the very best we can to get forever homes not right now homes. Oftentimes people do not research breeds before applying and are not the best match. We adopt within 2 to 3 hours of Bonifay, Florida. If you have questions about a dog comments are missed so please message the page, call 850-280-3960, or email sammyshope@aol.com.
