Poppy
* Poppy found her forever home with amazing people! *
Honey (and several other dogs) were surrendered to Hamilton Animal Services when their owner could no longer look after them. Honey gave birth on June 2nd in the shelter. We were very lucky to find a foster home who would take in this wee family, and over the next two months, Honey and her foster family did a great job of raising the puppies. Now they’re ready to find their forever homes!
Here’s a personality report from their foster family:
“Perspicacious Poppy. She is a beautiful girl who is agile, intelligent and
curious. She is always ready to play and extremely attentive to humans. She
loves to chew on wood, chew toys, squeaky toys, tug of war, wrestling with her
sisters, cuddling, ball chasing, water and water play. She loves to sleep on a
lap. She is an intelligent girl who watches, learns and then does. She is a
snuggly and sensitive girl.
She loves to explore inside and out and, like her sisters, will need a yard with
a fence.
She gets along well with all of the animals and humans in the house and enjoys
being with children. She plays well with others, though she is so much bigger
now that they do not know what to do with her. She likes listening to music and
people talking. She enjoys playing with children. Like all pack animals she
does not like to be alone for a long time.
Needless to say that she and her sisters are not lapdogs and will need lots of
opportunity to walk, run and play. She will do well on any adventure life
brings her.”
PLEASE NOTE:
The puppies are not yet old enough to be spayed.
The spay/neuter surgery and microchip are included in the adoption fee. When the puppies are old enough for surgery (normally between 4 and 5 months of age), they must be taken to a Ladybird affiliate vet clinic to have the spay surgery done. Between the adoption day and surgery day, the adopter is responsible for any vaccines or treatment their vet recommends and treatment is done at the adopter’s own clinic. We provide age appropriate vaccines for the animal for the duration of the time that the animal is with us. First set of vaccines are usually done at 8 weeks of age, and are continued for two more sets of vaccines in monthly intervals. If the adopted animal has only had one set of vaccines, it’s the responsibility of the adopter to have the other two sets done before the surgery. Most vets will not perform the surgery if the animal’s vaccines are not up to date.
