Poppy is a two-and-a-half-year-old rescue, found wandering the streets of Yakima as a puppy and rescued by the Seattle Humane Society. As a young, feral street dog, Poppy scared her rescuers with her aggressiveness but now she’s loved and spends her days wandering 12th Ave near Cal Anderson with her human, Olan. Poppy still isn’t a fan of her house cat roommate, Chloe.
