About Poppy

What a sweet and kind Papillon/Cavalier mix our Poppy is! Is that a PapCav or a Lonlier...we're not sure but it's a designer breed mix that is opportunistically being bred for their adorable looks, cottony-soft coats and sweet and cuddly temperaments. As a result of this human greed, these pups are being bred, sold for very high prices or dumped if the breeder runs into any challenges. Farfel's is very happy to rescue these dogs and find them nurturing and very committed homes. At just about 18 months old and 10 lbs, Poppy is an incredibly beautiful girl . We all know that Poppy has arrived when we see the wag that starts at her tail and becomes a full-blown body wiggle. She is greeting either a friend or anyone who has the potential to be a future playmate. Poppy is initially cautious...assessing the situation to make sure all is OK. This makes perfect sense as she's been through time spent at a high-kill shelter waiting for her pending euthanasia date due to lack of space. When Poppy was temperament tested and identified with a great temperament, Farfel's spoke up to bring Poppy to safety (and a new forever family) in Colorado. Once Poppy senses that all present are her friends, she is so engaging and friendly and always hopes that every pat and kind word will turn into a friend. Both people and other dogs are drawn to Poppy for her kind attitude and, once comfortable, her fun and playful ways. Poppy's foster mom is teaching her about her first experience with toys. She seems to love them and waits expectantly...with her eyes so bright and joyful..while her foster mom tosses her favorite ball off. Poppy doesn't seem to have had previous leash experience but is engaged in learning her skills... and seems to love the experience. Farfel's Rescue has determined that Poppy would be happier in a mellow home where she is an active and important member of the family...once she is comfortable in her environment, there's no greater lap dog then sweet Poppy. We feel a great choice for Poppy is an adult home (retirees would be perfect) where there's a more predictable environment. Pearl would be overjoyed to spend parts of the day together either taking walks through the beauty of Colorado or having fun in the back yard. Then at day's end, she's the ultimate snuggler and sleeps soundly through the night. Poppy (like all dogs) will benefit from positive reinforcement obedience classes - she is a super-smart pup who truly wants to please. Positive reinforcement training will give Poppy the skills to have excellent behavior as an adult dog. These force-free classes will not only bring out the great qualities of this pup but will create a tightly-knit bonding with all family members. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved positive reinforcement trainers in your area.. . Poppy has a stunning apricot coat. She will require a commitment to periodic sudsy baths/brushing and great nutrition (a daily salmon oil supplement is highly recommended for longevity and coat care) to keep Poppy's hair healthy, cottony-soft and matt-free. Poppy will be arriving on transport in Boulder on Friday 9/28/18. Applications are currently being accepted and can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/.
