Poe is a 4-year-old, 60 lb Pittie mix who is a bundle of joy, overflowing with playfulness, loyalty, and affection. He's an outgoing, fun-loving guy with a perfect blend of goofiness and intelligence. Poe is 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! He takes his backyard duties very seriously, performing a full perimeter patrol before relaxing. Poe is quiet when meeting new people, preferring to warm up before showing his true snuggly self. He's great in the car, fine with stairs, and overall an easy, happy guy to have around. He doesn't require another dog in the home but would enjoy one with a compatible energy level if introduced slowly. If you're looking for a playful, loyal, and big-hearted companion who will patrol your yard by day and snuggle by night, Poe is your guy!
Ideal Home
Poe would thrive in a moderate-to-high activity home that can keep him busy. He is terrified of thunder, fireworks, and loud buzzing noises like bug zappers, so his adopter should be ready to comfort him during those moments. His bark might sound tough, but underneath it all, he's the biggest baby who just wants to feel safe.
Ongoing Health
No specific health concerns were mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Poe has an enthusiastic play style and loves to run, romp, and wrestle. He is friendly and social with other dogs, happily interacting with pups between 35-75 lbs. 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. 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.
