Poe is a 4-year-old, 60 lb Pittie mix who is a bundle of joy, equal parts playful, loyal, and affectionate. He's an outgoing, fun-loving guy with the perfect mix of goofiness and smarts – the kind of dog who'll make you laugh one minute and melt your heart the next. He's always up for a mini photo shoot and loves performing his backyard perimeter patrols! Poe is curious, smart, silly, and affectionate. He loves tug toys, belly rubs, and hanging out with his humans.
Ideal Home
Poe would thrive in a moderate-to-high activity home that can keep him busy. He's 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. He doesn't require another dog in the home but would enjoy one with a compatible energy level if introduced slowly.
Ongoing Health
Poe is a healthy boy with no known ongoing health issues.
Training & Support
Poe is fully house-trained and crate-trained. He has an enthusiastic play style and loves to run, romp, and wrestle. He's friendly and social with other dogs. Poe adores kids and has lived with children ages 3-17. 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 great in the car and fine with stairs.
