Meet Poppy, a gentle giant with a heart just as big as her paws. Poppy may only have two loose marbles where her brain should be, but one of them is a deep love of cuddles, and the other is an unstoppable zest for life. And honestly? That’s all she really needs.
This extra-large sweetheart is pure love wrapped in a very big body. She’s incredibly sweet and affectionate-just not always aware of her own size. When she’s excited, she may accidentally knock you over, so a bit of balance and a good sense of humour definitely help with this girl.
Poppy has an independent streak and loves to wander and explore her surroundings, happily following her nose wherever it leads. But don’t worry-she always comes thundering back for affection, leaning in for cuddles like she hasn’t seen you in years. Her favourite form of love? Butt scratches. Once you find the right spot, you’re officially her best friend.
Poppy would do best with someone who appreciates a dog who’s equal parts free spirit and cuddle bug-and who doesn’t mind a little chaos from time to time. If you’re looking for a big, sweet, slightly clumsy companion who will explore the world and then crash back into your arms, she might be your perfect match.
