About this Dog
Meet Poppy — a pint-sized burst of energy and joy wrapped up in a 10 lb Pitbull mix body - and growing! This playful pup is already proving to be a fearless explorer and full-time entertainer. She’s mischievous in the most endearing way, always on the lookout for something new to play with (even if it wasn’t intended to be a toy), and she makes even the most ordinary moments feel like an adventure. Poppy is suspected to be deaf or hard of hearing, but you’d never guess it with the way she zips around, chases toys, wrestles with her sisters, and plays tug-of-war like a champ. She especially loves zooming around the house, snuggling up with her big 65 lb foster brother (when he’ll share his bed), and chomping on ice cubes or tennis balls. Her bursts of high energy are followed by sweet cuddle sessions that will melt your heart. She’s great with children and dogs of all sizes, and she’s been doing well adjusting to new experiences with patience and curiosity. Potty training and leash training are still in progress, and while she’s not crate trained yet, she sleeps peacefully in a pen with her sisters when her foster family is away or overnight. Poppy is very playful with dogs and people. She loves a good game of tug of war. She’s always excited to see her people. She’ll follow around like a little shadow when playing outside. When it’s time for a nap, her favorite place is a lap or spot next to her person on the couch. She may not be able to hear, but she doesn’t let that stop her. She’s very smart and already knows some visual hand commands for “sit”, “come”, “down” and “crate”. And she’s learning more and is eager to please! She’s curious and loves to explore new things. She would make a great companion for the right person or addition to a family that already has dogs. If you're looking for a spunky, sweet, and silly little pup who will keep you laughing and loving every day, Poppy is ready to fill your home with fun, affection, and all the puppy antics you could ask for. **Obedience classes are required when adopting this puppy from Underdog Rescue. Many of our puppies have a mama who was not properly socialized before coming to Underdog Rescue. Since coming to Underdog, this puppy has been in a socialized and loving home, but that needs to be continued with its Adopters. Training classes teach puppies the ins and outs of being a pet while creating a bond with their new Adopter. Obedience classes are key to creating a relationship with your puppy while having it be a happy and successful member of society. Proof of Obedience Class registration is required for this puppy before adoptions can be finalized. If you would like some suggestions, we would be happy to send some trainers who have experience with Underdog Rescue, but a Basic Obedience class in your area should work! Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home. T his puppy requires an application fee. This fee must be paid within 24 hours or your application will be considered void. We will not review or contact applicants that have not completed the payment portion. Puppy Applications will be responded to within 5 business days, after receipt of the application fee. Please understand that paying the fee does not guarantee you will be approved to adopt the puppy. Our goal is to place puppies in homes that are suited for their individual needs. You may be willing and able to provide a great home, but if it doesn’t meet the specific needs of the puppy, we will not approve your application. We accept applications for puppies until we have a candidate that meets all of the requirements needed for the specific puppy and they have been contacted to review the adoption process as well as agree to all of the terms to move forward. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***

Adopt Poppy and Receive Poppy's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Poppy's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Poppy's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Poppy, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Poppy's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Poppy was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Poppy’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Poppy’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Poppy’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
