Hello! It’s me, Poppy, and I am ready to find my FUR-ever home! 

I am a sweet and timid girl, just 15 months old and weighing in at 21 lbs. I am currently living my best Frenchie life in foster care in Riverside, California, after I was surrendered by a breeder, and my early life seemed much like a puppy mill-like environment, leaving me with a lack of socialization and some fear of people and new experiences. Despite this, I have not displayed any aggression toward humans or other animals.

I am an adorable little dog with a silly underbite, often showing my bottom teeth or sticking out my tongue, and I take great pride in using the ramp to climb up onto the couch.

I absolutely adore napping on the couch with my human and doing zoomies around the fenced backyard with the resident Frenchie. Playtime with the cats (who I think are tiny dogs) and exploring the yard are some of my favorite activities. I am all about food and treats, and I love chewing on bones like Nylabones and cow hooves. While I'm energetic and playful, I have a lot to learn about this big world!

My timid nature means I can be fearful around strangers and wary of being picked up, but I am working on these things. Although I'm still learning, I'm surprisingly good on the leash during walks and find it quite enjoyable! I'm also crate trained, though I prefer a larger exercise pen when alone. Potty training is slow going as I don’t signal to go out yet, but I keep my exercise pen clean and would thrive with a consistent routine.

As for my ideal FUR-ever home, I would enjoy a fenced yard, and I need a patient, understanding family to help me build confidence and gently expose me to new experiences. While I could live with smaller dogs and cats, I don’t think I’m ready for small children just yet. I do have mild allergies and take daily medications to keep the itchiness and watery eyes at bay.
