Poppy

ref: 2005/05552
size: small to medoum
age: 3 years old
sex: Female
centre: Battersea
breed: Jack Russell Terrier cross
arrived on:

Poppy is a 3 year old female Jack Russell Terrier cross who came in to Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in November 2005. Poppy is a bouncy, energetic, friendly dog with a slightly anxious, insecure edge who is besotted with toys and will do anything for them.  Poppy has shown a low tolerance towards other dogs and spent time with the Behaviour Unit at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in order  to investigate these behaviours further.     

Poppy is looking for:

• Owners that have had experience of dogs-to-dog issues before. 


• Due to Poppy's high intolerance levels around other dogs, a semi-rural or rural environment with a low dog population is essential.


• A calm, adult-only household would best best suitable as Poppy can easliy become stressed with a constantly changing environment, so unfortunately no kids or visiting kids. However experienced older teens will be considered. A garden is essential for basic training, an area to provide mental stimulation and a place for Poppy to potter about if she feels overwhelmed. 


•  Owners must be prepared to listen to and take advise from the Behaviour Unit and be prepared to follow an ongoing training programme advised by the team.
