Poppy - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Houston, Texas

Meet Poppy!

Poppy is an adorable 7–8-week-old Heeler/Lab mix (we think) weighing in at just about 7 pounds!

This little girl is as sweet as they come! Poppy is a bit more on the shy side and can be a little unsure of the world around her. She finds comfort and confidence in other dogs and is often seeking out a furry friend to snuggle up with or simply follow around. Having another friendly, confident dog in her forever home could be a wonderful fit for her!

Poppy is still a baby, with so much to learn and discover. She'll need a patient, loving family who will help her build confidence, explore the world at her own pace, and grow into the happy, well-adjusted girl she's meant to be. With plenty of love, encouragement, and positive experiences, we know she'll blossom!

With her sweet personality and gentle, shy nature, Poppy is sure to steal your heart. She's just a little girl looking for a family to make her feel safe, loved, and cherished.

With their loyal and loving nature, Labradors have rightfully earned their reputation as one of the most beloved dog breeds in the world.
