POPPY
Sex: Female
Age: 2 Years 3 Months (Nov 2024)
Size: Medium (20-22 kg)
Needs: A loving home with plenty of exercise, consistent training, and a confident adopter to help her adjust.
Good with: Children (8+), other dogs, and can be tested with cats.
Poppy was discovered with her mum and nine siblings in an isolated area of the Turkish mountains, struggling to survive. A visiting family found them and fed them to keep them alive, knowing no one else would be able to help once they left. The family reached out to AFOT, and thanks to our amazing supporters, we were able to raise the funds needed to bring them into care.
Poppy is a bouncy, happy girl who loves attention and cuddles. She’s friendly with people, enjoys getting stroked, and is good with children over 8 years old. She’s also dog-friendly and walks well on a lead. Poppy has been raised around other dogs, so she may benefit from having a well-adjusted resident dog to help with her confidence, although it’s not essential.
She’s full of energy and loves to play, so she will need regular exercise and consistent training to help her settle into her new home. Poppy is still adjusting to life outside the kennels, so a patient and confident adopter will help her feel secure and bring out the best in her.
Poppy is a happy, loving girl with a lot of potential and will thrive in a home that can offer her the attention, training, and exercise she needs.
Important Information
All our dogs will be tested prior to leaving Turkey for the following diseases:
BRUCELLA
LEISHMANIAS
ANAPLASMA
HEARTWORM
E-CANIS
Proof of tests and accompanying signed vet letters will be sent to adopter.
A home check is always made.
We provide a lifetime rescue back up (RBU) and work to DEFRA guidelines.
While there is no adoption fee required, we do ask for a voluntary donation to help towards our costs of between £595-£795. Each dog costs us on average £2500-£3000 to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome and our adoption donation is only a small proportion of this.
We rely solely on fundraising for the remainder plus any emergency treatment needed to help these abused, neglected and abandoned animals which are often in horrific condition and desperate need when they come into AFOT care.
Every penny we raise goes towards rescuing another dog, so even if you decide not to rehome one of our dogs today, please consider a donation so that we can continue to rescue another dog in the future.
