🐾❤️ OUR SWEET POPCORN IS STILL SEARCHING FOR HER FOREVER HOME! ❤️🐾
Here we are again, hoping that somewhere out there is the perfect person for our sweet Popcorn.
Popcorn has been through so much, and more than anything, we want to find her a loving, stable home where she can finally settle in and know she’s HOME.
We want to be completely transparent about who Popcorn is, what we know about her, and what she needs to be successful.
First, let’s talk about her age! The shelter originally told us she was 5 years old. Since then, different veterinarians have given us different estimates. We believe she’s approximately 2 years old, but we honestly aren’t certain.
❤️ Here’s what we DO know about Popcorn!
🐾 She’s dog friendly!
🐾 She’s cat friendly!
🐾 She’s kid friendly!
🐾 She’s potty trained!
🐾 She’s spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped!
🐾 She knows some basic tricks!
🐾 She loves to play and gets the cutest zoomies!
🐾 She’s also perfectly happy being a couch potato and relaxing with her people!
🐾 She’s VERY food motivated!
And speaking of food… let’s talk about that! 😂
Popcorn is a counter surfer! If you leave food on the counter, table, or anywhere she can access it without supervision, she’s probably going to eat it!
And let’s be realistic, most dogs would!
We want her future family to understand this so they can be proactive about keeping food put away and out of reach. She’s a dog, and she’s going to do dog things!
Now, let’s talk about her biggest challenge: separation anxiety. 💔
Popcorn suffers from severe separation anxiety. She cannot currently be crated or left home alone.
We understand that people have responsibilities. Grocery shopping, doctor appointments, errands, and everyday life don’t stop because you have a dog.
But Popcorn needs a home where someone can consistently be with her while she works through her anxiety.
She does have separation anxiety medication and a professional training program available. Per her trainer, the training should begin with her permanent adopter so she can develop consistency, security, and trust in her forever home.
With proper training, she MAY eventually be able to stay alone for a few hours. But we cannot guarantee that. We simply won’t know what she’s capable of until that training is completed.
So what kind of home are we looking for?
Ideally, someone who is retired, works from home with flexibility, or has a household where someone can consistently be present.
Someone who has patience, understands separation anxiety, and is willing to work with her rather than expect her to change overnight.
Someone who understands that adopting a dog means accepting their quirks, their challenges, and everything that makes them who they are.
Most importantly, we’re asking for complete honesty about your lifestyle, schedule, and ability to meet her needs.
Not every home will be the right fit for Popcorn, and that’s okay! Our responsibility is to make sure we find the home that IS.
We don’t want to put Popcorn through unnecessary transitions. Every change is another adjustment for a dog who already struggles with feeling secure.
Popcorn isn’t a bad dog. She’s not a broken dog. She’s simply a dog who needs a little more reassurance than most. ❤️
She’s loving, playful, silly, affectionate, and has so much happiness to bring to someone’s life.
She deserves someone who will see all the wonderful things about her instead of focusing only on her challenges.
We know her needs make finding the right home more difficult. But we refuse to believe there isn’t someone out there who would be absolutely perfect for her.
We aren’t looking for just ANY home. We’re looking for HER home.
A home where she can finally unpack her bags, feel safe, and never have to wonder where she belongs again.
📍 Denver Metro area only.
If you believe you’re the right person for Popcorn, or know someone who might be, please reach out to Pound Pitties Dog Rescue.
And if you can’t adopt, please SHARE her story. Her person may be just one share away.
Popcorn has so much love to give. Now she just needs someone who has the time, patience, and commitment to give that love right back. 🐾❤️
