Poppy - Great Pyrenees and Anatolian Shepherd Dog Available for Adoption in Chickamauga, Georgia

🌸 Poppy (Girl #2) 🌸

6 Weeks Old | Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd Mix | Future Gentle Giant

Meet Poppy, a fluffy black-and-white beauty with a sweet face and a gentle spirit. With her adorable markings, oversized paws, and soft expression, Poppy is already turning heads everywhere she goes.

Poppy and her littermates came to rescue after their owner experienced medical issues that made it impossible to continue caring for the farm and its animals. Now this precious girl is looking for a foster home and eventually a forever family of her own.

Her father is an Anatolian Shepherd mix, and her mother is a Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd mix. Both parents have worked as livestock guardian dogs and are heartworm negative. Based on her parentage, Poppy is expected to mature into a large to giant-sized dog, potentially reaching 80–120+ pounds as an adult.

Livestock guardian breeds are known for being:

🐾 Loyal and devoted to their families
🐾 Intelligent and independent thinkers
🐾 Naturally protective and observant
🐾 Calm, steady companions
🐾 Excellent farm and acreage dogs when properly trained and socialized

Poppy is currently:

✔️ 6 weeks old
✔️ First puppy vaccine completed
✔️ Dewormed
✔️ Ready to move into a foster home soon

Though we’re still getting to know her personality, Poppy already appears to be a sweet, gentle puppy who enjoys observing the world around her. We can’t wait to watch her grow and discover who she becomes.
