Poppy, May 29 Pet of the week

May 28, 2026 By Leave a Comment

Poppy was a late Christmas “gift” to Long Beach Animal Care Services this past December. Her nose was swollen and painful, and her human couldn’t take care of her, so they sadly surrendered her. But the shelter vets knew what to do! After ruling out cancer, the cause of the swollen nose was determined to be a bug bite, so Poppy got her treatment and a spay procedure, too. She’s now a healthy 4-year-old girl who needs a real home. Poppy has some kennel stress, so she lives in the screened cattery where volunteer Janet says she enjoys the sunshine and breezes. How about making it Christmas in June for Poppy? To adopt or foster Poppy, email PetAdopt@longbeach.gov to speed the process, or call (562) 570-7387. Better yet, meet her in person at Long Beach Animal Care Services, 7700 E. Spring St., Long Beach, at entrance to El Dorado Park (no parking fee for shelter visitors). Visiting hours are Wednesday–Friday, 10 a.m.–5:30 p.m., and Saturday–Sunday, 10 a.m.–4 p.m.
