From Joyful Rescues, Inc.

Update: Poppy is over a year old and has been here since just a pup and although she loves all us humans from a distance she doesn't care to be touched and if cornered, will nip. It is very unusual for us to decide to make a dog so young a Joyful sanctuary pet but that is what we've decided to do for Poppy. She is amazing with all the other dogs, she comes when called and acts just like a normal dog until someone tries to touch her. The most touch she's welcome has been on her own terms and she will give a quick lick of a hand to the humans here with it on her terms and she will lie against Joye's legs, but still no touchy, touchy. If by some miracle this girls turns around with time we will alter her description. Poppy was born about May 15, 2025 and will likely top out about 25 lbs. This girl came to us as an 8 week old puppy that a breeder couldn't sell because she had a "bit" of an attitude. A concerned person knew of this and took Poppy home to try to find a home for her but things weren't going very well with her "attitude" and this person gave us a call the day before she had an appointment for behavior euthanasia. Joyful does love a challenge now and then so we were glad…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
