Popsey
🐾 Popsey – D2025-93 🐾
1 year old Dachshund Cross
📍 Fostered in Cardiff
Popsey is a young dachshund cross who is looking for a calm, understanding home where her needs can be met as she continues her recovery and builds confidence.
Popsey can be nervous around people she doesn’t know and may initially bark and appear defensive. Once she has time to get to know someone, she settles well and is comfortable with familiar people. Because of this, adopters must be willing to allow Popsey to go at her own pace and understand that confidence takes time.
She is currently recovering from an injury to her leg. Her 10-week post-operative check went well and the vets are pleased with her progress. Popsey will now require physiotherapy to aid her recovery, which will be fully discussed with potential adopters. She has not yet been walked due to her injury but has been well-behaved and cooperative at the vet. She is used to wearing a harness and is good on the lead when needed.
Popsey enjoys the company of people and does not like being left alone in a separate room. At night she prefers to sleep either in her owner’s bed or in a crate beside the bed. She is house trained, although true to her dachshund nature, this can sometimes depend on the weather!
In her foster home, Popsey will play nicely with a submissive male dog, but she can be quite dominating with other dogs. For this reason, she would be best suited as an only dog with doggy friends, or possibly with a calm, older, submissive male dog. She has not been tested with cats or small furries.
Due to her nervousness with unfamiliar people, Popsey would be best in a home with children aged 12 years and over. She eats separately from other dogs and takes treats nicely. Toys are optional in her world – she can take them or leave them.
Popsey is very energetic, loves running around the garden, and would thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time to provide companionship, reassurance, and continued training.
Popsey will be adopted on a neutering agreement and comes:
- First vaccination completed
- Microchipped
- Up-to-date flea and worming
- 5 weeks free Agria pet insurance
Popsey is a young dog who needs patience, structure, and understanding – but in the right home, she has the potential to blossom into a loyal and loving companion.
