Poppy Fergie is a bright, soulful young adult who brings warmth, joy, and gentle curiosity wherever she goes. With her expressive eyes and sweet presence, Poppy has a way of quietly capturing hearts—she’s the kind of dog who settles in easily and makes a house feel like home.
🐶 BREED & BUILD:
Poppy is a Black Mouth Cur / Boxer mix with a beautiful fawn and white coat. At around 43 pounds, she’s a perfect medium size—sturdy, athletic, and well-balanced, making her a great companion for both adventure and relaxation.
🥰 PERSONALITY & TEMPERAMENT:
Poppy has a calm, affectionate, and reserved demeanor with a playful spark underneath. She’s not the type to get in your face—instead, she settles in close and loves to snuggle up quietly beside her people. She is not aggressive in any manner and is fairly docile most of the time, happiest when she’s able to cuddle or simply be near her humans.
⚡️ ENERGY & PLAY:
As a young adult, Poppy is highly energetic and loves to move—she’d make an excellent trail or adventure companion. At the same time, she’s just as content staying home, as long as she has a secure, fenced-in area where she can roam and play freely without needing to be on a leash.
🐾 DOGS & PACK DYNAMICS:
Poppy does well both as the only dog in the home and in a pack setting, and she genuinely thrives when her family and pack are around her. She plays nicely with other dogs and fits into existing pack hierarchies without conflict. She also has a natural instinct to guard her territory, which she does well without being reactive or aggressive.
🐱 CATS & FELINES:
Poppy is wonderful with cats—curious, patient, and remarkably gentle. Rather than chasing or pestering, she’ll lie down and let a cat come to her on its own terms, and the two will often end up lounging or playing together side by side. Her gentle, low-key approach makes her a great fit for a multi-pet household that includes feline family members.
🧑🧑🧒 PEOPLE & HOME LIFE:
Poppy is wonderful with both adults and children, adapting herself to the energy of whoever she’s with. She enjoys human companionship and responds well to routine and structure, thriving on connection, affection, and consistent time together.
🧠 INTELLIGENCE & SAFETY:
Poppy is extremely intelligent and curious. She has demonstrated an ability to find her way out of unsecured areas if given the opportunity, driven purely by curiosity and a desire to meet people—not by fear or aggression. Notably, Poppy has never been confined or chained at any point in her life, and she does best with free-roam play in a securely fenced space rather than restrictive containment.
🩺 MEDICAL & CARE:
Poppy arrived already spayed and is microchipped. She is fully vaccinated, dewormed, and up to date on mosquito, flea, and tick preventative treatment—an essential in this part of Hawaii, where tick and flea exposure is high. She is an adult dog with no medical issues and is in very good overall health.
💛 WHY POPPY:
Poppy Fergie is one of those dogs whose presence feels grounding. She’s gentle without being timid, playful without being overwhelming, and affectionate without being demanding.
🔗 A BONDED PAIR:
Poppy and Hiro aren’t just bonded—they’re litter mates, brother and sister from the same litter, and several of her photos feature the two of them together. While each dog has a distinct personality—Poppy the calm, quiet snuggler—we’d love to see them adopted into the same home so this lifelong sibling bond can continue.
🌺 If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion with a calm heart, a curious mind, and a joyful spirit, Poppy Fergie may be the perfect match for you. 🌺

Hiro is a warm, exuberant young adult with a heart as big as his frame. He’s a gentle giant who greets the world—and everyone in it—with unfiltered enthusiasm, and once he’s decided he loves you, he will absolutely make sure you know it.
🐶 BREED & BUILD:
Hiro is a Black Mouth Cur / Boxer mix, sharing the same striking heritage as his litter mate Poppy. At around 51 pounds, he’s big, strong, and solid—built for energetic outdoor adventures, yet surprisingly soft-hearted underneath all that muscle.
🥰 PERSONALITY & TEMPERAMENT:
Hiro is affectionate, social, and completely unbothered by the concept of personal space. He loves to snuggle just as much as Poppy does, but where she’s reserved, Hiro is all-in—he’ll get right in your face, shower you with face licks, and try to lay all over you as his way of showing love. Despite his size and strength, he’s a genuine love bug who can also be sensitive, picking up on emotions and responding with extra closeness and affection. He is not aggressive in any manner; his enthusiasm comes purely from a deep well of love, not a lack of manners that can’t be shaped with structure and training.
⚡️ ENERGY & PLAY:
As a young adult, Hiro is highly energetic and would make a fantastic trail and adventure companion for an active owner. He also does well settling in at home, provided he has a secure, fenced-in yard where he can roam and play freely without needing to be leashed at all times.
🐾 DOGS & PACK DYNAMICS:
Hiro is great with other dogs and clearly values being part of a pack—he lights up when he’s near his family and his people. He integrates easily into existing pack hierarchies and enjoys the companionship of fellow dogs. Like Poppy, he has a natural instinct to guard his territory and does so reliably.
🐱 CATS & FELINES:
Hiro is good with cats, taking his cues from the same easygoing, non-aggressive temperament that makes him such a gentle presence with people. He’s comfortable sharing space with feline companions without conflict.
🧑🧑🧒 PEOPLE & HOME LIFE:
Hiro is wonderful with both adults and children, and his affectionate, in-your-face love language makes him especially endearing to people who want a dog that’s demonstrative about its devotion. He thrives on routine, structure, and lots of quality time with his people.
🧠 INTELLIGENCE & SAFETY:
Hiro is intelligent, curious, and social, motivated by a genuine desire to be close to people rather than fear or aggression. Like Poppy, Hiro has never been confined or chained during his lifetime and does best with free-roam play in a securely fenced space.
🩺 MEDICAL & CARE:
Hiro is fully vaccinated, dewormed, and up to date on mosquito, flea, and tick preventative treatment—an essential in this part of Hawaii, where tick and flea exposure is high. He is an adult dog with no medical issues and is in very good overall health.
💛 WHY HIRO:
Hiro is the dog who makes sure you feel loved—loudly, physically, and often. He’s a big, strong softie whose sensitivity and devotion turn “personal space” into a foreign concept in the best possible way.
🔗 A BONDED PAIR:
Hiro and Poppy aren’t just bonded—they’re litter mates, brother and sister from the same litter, and several photos capture the two of them together as the inseparable siblings they are. While Hiro brings the big, boisterous, face-licking energy and Poppy brings the calm, quiet snuggles, they share the same love of the outdoors, their pack, and their people—we’d love to find them a home together where this lifelong bond can keep flourishing.
🌺 If you’re ready for a big-hearted, adventure-loving dog who wears his love on his sleeve, Hiro may be exactly the companion you’re looking for. 🌺
