Poppy - Yorkshire Terrier and Shih Tzu Dog for Adoption in Frisco, Texas

Read through completely before applying! Meet Poppy! Poppy has Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH), a neurological condition that makes her a little wobbly and unsteady on her feet. CH is not painful, and it doesn't affect her happy, loving personality or her ability to enjoy life. Life with a dog with CH is often much easier than people expect. Dogs with CH simply have their own unique way of getting around and quickly learn how to navigate their environment. A home for Poppy should include:

• Non-slip flooring such as rugs, yoga mats, or runners to help provide traction and prevent slipping on tile or hardwood floors.

• No access to stairs unless they are safely blocked off with baby gates.

• A safe environment with soft bedding and padded areas where she spends time.

• Raised food and water bowls, which can make mealtime easier for some CH dogs.

• Patient, understanding adopters who appreciate that she may do some things a little differently.

• A moderate activity level with supervised playtime to help prevent falls or injuries.

The biggest thing Poppy needs is a family willing to look past her wobble and see the amazing dog underneath. She does not require constant medical care because of her condition, and CH is not progressive, meaning it will not get worse over time. She simply needs a safe, loving home where she can thrive and be accepted for who she is. Per Wisdom Panel, Poppy is a Yorkie, Biewer Terrier, and Shih Tzu mix. She is 2 years old and ready to find a family that will love her just the way she is. If you're interested in adopting this special little girl, please submit an application at www.rescuerowinc.org.

Rescue Row is a 501(c)3 (non-profit) all volunteer dog rescue organization serving the DFW Metroplex. We are dedicated to rescuing dogs in shelters, dogs in abusive or neglectful situations, and dogs surrendered by their owners because of difficult circumstances. We place dogs in loving, responsible, committed permanent homes, following a comprehensive adoption process, which includes taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing a dog into their homes and lives. Dogs in our care are spayed or neutered, microchipped, receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment, and placed in nurturing foster homes while they await placement in their permanent homes. We assist dogs in distress without regard to age, breed or ease of placement. Dogs in the greatest need take priority. Finally, we strive to work with shelters and other rescue and humane organizations to develop a network of supporters and volunteers in order to create a better world for homeless dogs.
