Yep, she’s a water dog 💦🐶❤️
Poppy is 3.5 months old and about 6 lbs of Lagotto cuteness. She is tiny, but mighty. Despite not being able to see, she knows her roots,  and like most Lagotto Puppies… She loves digging her water! 💦💦💦💦
🏡 This girl is ready for her new home (medical release ❤️🩹). We prefer a home close to Atlanta, Georgia.
✅ If interested in Poppy, please fill out our application at www.lagottodogrescue.org In the “special needs” section, mention that you are interested in Poppy.
❤️ Baby Poppy showing off all aspects of a well-adjusted Lagotto.
💦Showing her regular lagotto side by digging in her water 💦… just like most Lagotto Romagnolos do. Oh Poppy, ❤️.
❤️Poppy is now 12 weeks old and located in Georgia. She is ready for her forever home.
🏥We prefer a home close to her current neurologist and ophthalmologist in Georgia (Poppy has some head trauma as a wee baby which caused her to lose her vision. She is beating the odds and has a 50% chance of regaining some vision).
❤️ If interested in Poppy, please fill out our application at www.lagottodogrescue.org and in the section about Special Needs, please mention that you are interested in Poppy.
This cute girl is making so much progress! One would never guess that she is blind. In the video it almost appears that she is using “echo location” if that’s even possible for a dog. Poppy is becoming more and more confident and is walking around with her head up, tail wagging … and, as seen in the video, barking to her own beat. Poppy is available to a very special home who will continue with her medical care 🏥 while continuing to raise her to be a happy, healthy and socialized puppy. If interested in Poppy, please apply at www.lagottodogrescue.org and in the medical/special needs area, fill in that you are interested in Poppy. #lagotto #lagottoromagnolo_daily #lagottoofinstagram #lagottopuppy🐶 #lagottorescue #blindpuppy
Poppy is soo sweet and we are all in love with her 💕. She is 11 weeks old, but only a wee 4 lbs. This tiny little one is as sweet and loving as they come. She is seen here bring her toys … and slippers … to her favorite bed. She has the nose of a lagotto and can navigate familiar places with ease. She loves her toys and likes to arrange and sleep with them all. This special girl will be looking for a dedicated home to call her own. A calm place full of love and kind people. She has a 50% chance of regaining some vision. She needs a home in within driving distance to Georgia.

❤️Look at Poppy Go!!!
❤️🩹She has improved so much and continues to exceed expectations!!!
❤️She has mapped out and memorized her Foster home and no longer walks in circles!
❤️Her tail is up and she confidently navigates from one room to another. Watch how she uses her nose to help figure out where to go next! Her foster family has helped this pup beyond measure!
❤️🩹The vet today did say that Poppy does still appear to be blind in both eyes, and besides being itty bitty, she is doing fantastic.
🏠She needs a new home who understands her medical needs, is home most or all of the day, has no, or very gentle older children, possibly has an older sweet dog to show Poppy around, rarely remodels or rearrange furniture, is willing to train and socialize this sweet girl. No flying, the new family must come to meet Poppy in person in GA.

Here’s a glimpse of the 9 3-month old puppies. All cleaned up and sporting their new collars. They have all made remarkable strides in just 24 hours. They’ve had lots of individual time, grooming, enrichment (see the ball pit fun 🤩) and love … we can feel how happy they are ❤️ and are so very thankful for the wonderful volunteers who are doing so much for and with these cuties.
Look whose up and about!!! Poppy visited the eye doctor today and it is confirmed that she is blind in her left eye and very limited vision on her right. Her eyes are fine, it’s just the signal from her brain to her eyes that isn’t working. The good optimistic news is that there is a 50% chance she can regain her vision!
Until then, this cute girl is adapting and carried her toy around with her today. Thanks for the continued thoughts, prayers and love.

Lagottos tend to have a higher self preservation than many breeds. They often have a very low pain tolerance and are cautious of new situations.
Here, my own well-bred and highly socialized 7 month old puppy cautiously approaches a watermelon 🍉.
This puppy is normally outgoing, full of her self and a risk taker.
What have your dogs suddenly been overly cautious about?
