More about Poppy

Little Poppy sausage is a dinky miniature smooth haired Dachshund who was sadly abandoned at our centre. Poppy is sensitive lady but once she has warmed up to people, she is incredibly sweet and affectionate and will quietly cry until someone gives her some attention or strokes!!

Due to the circumstances surrounding how she came into our care, we have very limited information on Poppy's background. She has not been house trained in kennels and has shown a worried side when interacting with unknown people, initially keeping her distance and being quite aloof until she feels more comfortable. Poppy really benefits from a sympathetic and hands off approach and will quickly make friends with people if they do not put her under pressure.

Poppy will need a home with a private garden due to her sensitives and need for housetraining. She would not be suited to living with young children due to her nervousness, but could potentially live in a home with teenagers, pending intros at our Brands Hatch centre. Poppy can be worried at the vets and around other dogs, so will need some support in these areas to build her confidence.

Our rehoming team will go through all her training needs with any possible new owners both verbally and in person.

We ask every customer to first complete our online form before we discuss an individual animal, so if you have not filled in our form yet you can find the details on how to do so here: https://www.battersea.org.uk/rehoming. We cannot discuss dogs with interested parties until this step has been completed.

If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Poppy sausage, you can e-mail our rehoming team on bbh.rehomers@battersea.org.uk to register your interest.

Please be aware that we have a large amount of interest in rehoming our animals, so we will only be able to contact those that who could be a match for the dog you have contacted us about.
