Poe is a 4-year-old, neutered Pittie mix who is a 60 lb bundle of joy! He's equal parts playful, loyal, and affectionate. Poe is an outgoing, fun-loving guy with the perfect mix of goofiness and smarts – the kind of dog who will make you laugh one minute and melt your heart the next. He's also always up for a mini photo shoot! Poe has a curious, smart, silly, and affectionate personality. He loves tug toys, belly rubs, and hanging out with his humans. One of his most endearing quirks is that he takes his backyard duties very seriously, performing a full perimeter patrol every time he goes outside before relaxing. Poe is quiet when meeting strangers, preferring to take a moment to warm up before showing his true snuggly self. He is great in the car, fine with stairs, and overall an easy, happy guy to have around.
Ideal Home
Poe would thrive in a moderate-to-high activity home that can keep him busy, as he loves walks, play sessions, and having a job to do. His adopter should be ready to comfort him during moments of fear, as he is terrified of thunder, fireworks, and loud buzzing noises like bug zappers. He doesn't require another dog in the home but would enjoy one with a compatible energy level if introduced slowly.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned in the description.
Training & Support
Poe has an enthusiastic play style and loves to run, romp, and wrestle. He is friendly and social with other dogs. When it comes to walks, Poe does best if he's had a chance to burn off some energy first; if he heads out right away, he tends to pull from excitement, but with a little leash work and structure, he'll be a dream walking companion. He could benefit from continued leash training and learning a few more commands to help him be his best self, but he's eager to learn and loves pleasing his people. Poe is fully house-trained and crate-trained, sleeping quietly through the night. He is always fed in his crate to help keep mealtime calm and routine. He has never had any guarding issues with people and happily accepts treats or food from trusted hands.
