Pooh Poppins

About Pooh Poppins

Meet Pooh Poppins! Pooh Poppins is a petite, 9-year-old, lady weighing in at about 10 pounds, and she has decided that her favorite place in the world is wherever her person happens to be. If that means sitting quietly beside you on a chair for several hours, Pooh is completely on board. Pooh is a gentle, easygoing, little companion who doesn't need much entertainment. Toys? She's not particularly impressed. Other dogs? She mostly just goes around them. Barking? She doesn't bother when she's with her person. What she really wants is simple: a comfortable spot, a human nearby, and a good meal. And Pooh takes the last one very seriously. She has beautiful, long, silky hair and a delicate little frame, along with a permanently peeking-out tongue that makes her even more endearing. She is comfortable being picked up and enjoys general petting, though she would prefer that her face be left alone. She has very few teeth, so she's not looking to win any chewing contests. Pooh has significant hearing and vision limitations and appears to hear little, if anything. One of her eyes was removed due to a birth defect and the other one needs medication to help her tear production. She can see some movement and light, and she's learned her way around familiar spaces, but she does bump into things. Because of this, she will need a patient adopter who is willing to help her navigate her environment and keep her safe. She doesn't understand walking on a leash, so being carried or using a stroller setup works better for her. She is making progress with potty training and does well when given regular opportunities to go outside. A crate, however, is not Pooh's favorite place and she can become very distressed when confined. Her ideal home will be one where she doesn't need to spend long periods crated and where someone can give her a safe, appropriately managed environment while they're away. Pooh isn't looking for an action-packed retirement. She's looking for her person. Someone who will appreciate a quiet little shadow, give her a cozy place to settle in, keep her world predictable and safe, and understand that her disabilities simply mean she experiences that world a little differently. If you've ever thought that the perfect dog might be a tiny, slightly quirky senior who mostly wants to sit beside you and quietly exist together, Pooh Poppins may be your girl.
