Poppy in Los Altos Hills, CA
Hi! My name is Poppy. I’m a lov’in, gorgeous, four year old, tricolor Cavalier boy with a beautiful thick coat of fur. I’m a really happy, quiet little guy, with my tail constantly wagging. I’m being fostered with another tricolor Cavalier, that’s three years old. I like to play with his toys and chase him around the house. We really like each other and have become quick friends. I like to sit next to my foster mom on the couch and love to follow her everywhere she goes. I never let her out of my sight.
I go for two, one mile walks every day with my companions and I love it! I’m a very good boy on a leash and love being active. I’m a little shy at first around new dogs and new people but love meeting them. There are no cats or kids in my foster home, so I’m not sure how I will do around them.
I’m getting pretty good at house training but it is a work in progress and I need to be supervised inside. I’m crate trained, but I need reminders to go outside every few hours.
I’ve been neutered recently and had my teeth cleaned with no extractions. I have a mild grade 3 heart murmur with no heart medication needed for now. I also have an eye condition called Pannus, or chronic superficial keratitis, a condition affecting my cornea. While pannus is a lifelong issue, it is managed with eye drops every day. I’ll need to be seen by both a cardiologist and ophthalmologist in the future to keep me in tip top shape. My shots are all up to date and I’m microchipped. I’m a good eater too.
I need a family who is home most of the time who will enjoy playing with me and who has a securely fend in backyard. I’m a really sweet, easy going, guy and am ready for my forever family.
If you are interested in adopting this wonderful Cavalier and live within a reasonable driving distance to Los Altos Hills, CA please fill out an adoption application (if you haven’t already) and then email our Northern California Coordinator Sarah Knudsen at sayrahk@gmail.com to let her know of your interest.
