11/2/26-We have some happy news! Poppy finally ate! We left food out for her overnight and were absolutely thrilled to find an empty bowl this morning! She’s also drinking water! Such big milestones for our sweet girl! Poppy is also being treated for an ear infection, and she’s been a perfect little patient when it comes to taking her medication. She’s starting to feel better, and we’re seeing little signs of her perking up! She even ventured a bit farther around the yard during a potty break. Poppy is such a sweet soul. She’s still very nervous and shut down, but these tiny steps are HUGE for a girl who has never known life outside a breeder. She’s slowly discovering that she’s safe, she’s loved, and nobody is going to rush her. One little victory at a time, Princess Poppy. The best is yet to come!


11/1/26-Our sweet Poppy is very much shut down right now. Since arriving yesterday, she hasn’t moved from her bed unless we gently pick her up and take her outside. Once outside, she moves slowly, tail tucked, seemingly searching for a corner where she can hide. She hasn’t eaten yet, and we haven’t seen her drink. We left water beside her bed overnight, hoping she felt safe enough to take a sip or two. A lack of appetite is common in dogs experiencing significant stress and fear, especially during those first few days of decompression. We’ll be keeping a close eye on her food and water intake as she adjusts.
Right now, Poppy’s world is scary and unfamiliar. She doesn’t understand that she’s finally safe, that nobody expects anything from her, or that kindness and love are her new normal.For now, we’re giving her the quiet, space, and patience she needs. No expectations. No pressure. Just a soft bed, gentle voices, and time. Take all the time you need, sweetheart. You’ve survived the hardest part. Now it’s our turn to show you how beautiful life can be.

10/31/26-Introducing Princess Poppy Pumpkinspice! A HUGE thank you to the amazing volunteers who helped get this sweet girl safely to us! Poppy is a 4-year-old retired breeder mama who is finally FREE! Right now, she’s nervous, scared, and on high alert, taking in her unfamiliar surroundings. We’re giving her the quiet, patience, and space she needs to decompress. No pressure, no expectations. Just time to feel safe. Poppy doesn’t know it yet, but today marks the beginning of a beautiful new chapter. No more babies. No more breeder life. Just freedom. The best is yet to come, Princess Poppy Pumpkinspice!

10/30/26-Princess Poppy Pumpkinspice is a sweet 4 year old female Cavapoo (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel/miniature poodle). She came from a commercial breeder as they just didn’t need her anymore. She arrived safely into rescue today thanks to her transport & overnight volunteers. She has an ear infection she is being treated for. Her spay is Monday 11/16. After she is spayed she will be ready to go to her new home.

The Cavapoo, a charming crossbreed between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Poodle, is renowned for its friendly and affectionate nature, making it an ideal companion for families and individuals alike. These intelligent and playful dogs are known for their hypoallergenic coats and minimal shedding, making them suitable for those with allergies. Cavapoos thrive on human interaction and are quick learners, excelling in training and forming strong bonds with their owners.
