Poppy

German Shepherd–Kangal Mix, Boundless Energy

Poppy was dumped as a baby — because in rural Turkey, people still think male dogs are “useful” and females are “trouble.” Their loss, our gain.

She grew up with the pack instead of humans, which means she never really learned manners or boundaries. She’s loving, sweet, and full of life — but she will bulldoze personal space, push buttons, and ignore social cues. Other dogs sometimes gang up on her because she doesn’t “get” the unspoken rules.

Think of her like a genius kid no one guided: clever, energetic, but unstructured. She needs routine, discipline, and someone patient enough to shape all that raw potential into something amazing.

She’s not a “bad dog.” She’s just waiting for the right match. If you’re up for the challenge, you won’t regret it — and I’ll be here to help you every step of the way.
