ADOPTION OPTION Meet Kovi and Poppy

Welcome to Adoption Option, a partnership with the Worcester Animal Rescue League highlighting their adoptable pets. Check this space often to meet all of the great pets at WARL in need of homes. WARL is open seven days a week, noon-4 p.m., 139 Holden St. Check them out online at Worcesterarl.org, or call at (508) 853-0030.

Kovi and Poppy were surrendered to the shelter after their owner began having financial and health problems and could no longer care for them. Kovi is younger and loves to play, run and have a good time. Poppy, his older friend, is all about the snuggles and relaxation. These two are the best of both worlds and are looking for a home together. They love going out for walks and being outside. Poppy enjoys meeting other dogs, however, Kovi can be very selective. He has met several dogs here and has not reacted well to them. For this reason, these two should be the only ones gracing your home. They have met older children, ages 6 and older and have done well. These two boys are a great couple that compliment one another very well. They are looking forward to a fresh start with a loving family. If you would like more information about Kovi and Poppy, or you would like to make an appointment to meet with them, please contact the shelter today.
