Going to the dogs Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Poppy is five years old, a real sweetie. The vet thinks that she is part chihuahua - she is certainly very small and weighs only 3 kilos. Last week she was run over and has had a leg amputated. The other leg is also damaged. However, in a short time this brave little girl has learned to keep her balance and walk on 3 legs. Today her foster mum said that she mooched along a hedgerow for about 400 yards. She will stay with her foster home until she is 100% well. So what sort of home does Poppy need? No other dogs - she is a people person Someone around all day so that she can get the cuddles that she is used to Someone who will tolerate her sleeping on their bed - that's what she's used to and she makes one heck of a fuss if she is denied the privilege No children - that's why she's been taken away from her real home - her mum didn't want her to be played with roughly by her children So a dogless, retired person in need of a very loving companion would be perfect All homes will be homechecked. It is too soon to spay Poppy after her op but she must be spayed as soon as it is safe to do so. And here she is She is the sweetest, tiniest little girl and deserves the best home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fee Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Whereabouts is her foster home, Wendy? The Oldies Club has had a few enquiries from older people who might be right for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redditchlady Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 How does Poppy get on with cats?? Just a random thought from me. I don't have cats, and am not wanting Poppy myself, but a friend of my Aunts lost a 15 year old Lab on Saturday and is thinking about taking an oldie/needy in. She has 2 oldie rescued cats. I have not home visited the lady, but can if needed. Kazz xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggi Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Bless her, she has gt Chi in her for sure. We get lots of calls from older folks, who live alone wanting a little companion. Can she travel for the right home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going to the dogs Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Bless her, she has gt Chi in her for sure. We get lots of calls from older folks, who live alone wanting a little companion. Can she travel for the right home? She can travel as long as her folk are prepared to come and collect her and be vetted by either Rachel or me. One of us would have to meet the person(s) before Poppy could go anywhere. So that limits us to Wales and the South West. We have already had some home offers but not yet that special one where she could be an only dog, cuddled most of the day but also have exercise and a good, healthy diet. Her foster mum says that she is getting stronger every day and is getting around fine. But it's early days for her yet. She won't be ready to go for a few weeks.

Going to the dogs Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Great news! Poppy is staying in Taunton with her foster mum's sister. And when her new mum is at work on two days in the week, Poppy will be with her foster mum. The best scenario possible. Thanks to everyone for their help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
