Poe is a 4-year-old, neutered Pittie mix who is a 60 lb 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. Poe loves to be part of a family and is always up for a mini photo shoot! He performs a full perimeter patrol of the backyard every time he goes out before relaxing, and he's a quiet observer when meeting new people, preferring to warm up before showing his true snuggly self. He's great in the car, fine with stairs, and an overall easy, happy guy to have around.
Ideal Home
Poe would thrive in a moderate-to-high activity home that can keep him busy with walks, play sessions, and having a job to do. He is terrified of thunder, fireworks, and loud buzzing noises, so his adopter should be ready to comfort him during those moments.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned.
Training & Support
Poe does best on walks if he's had a chance to burn off energy first, as he tends to pull from excitement. With some leash work and structure, he'll be a dream walking companion. He would 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, not because he guards his food. He has never had any guarding issues with people and happily accepts treats or food from trusted hands.
