About Poe
Please note: After completing the initial phone screening, you’ll be connected with the foster for a video chat meet and greet. Transports run every few weeks, and approved dogs will be placed on the next available transport. If you’re not ready to adopt until a later date, please wait to apply until that time.
We are a volunteer-run rescue, and our team donates time and effort to helping these dogs. If you are not fully committed to moving forward in the adoption process, we kindly ask that you do not apply. If others are involved in the decision-making process, please make sure you’ve discussed the adoption with them and that everyone is on board. We want to ensure we’re using everyone’s time wisely and focusing on finding the right homes for our dogs.

Poe is a 4-year-old, neutered Pittie mix — a 60 lb bundle of joy who’s 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. And he's always up for a mini photo shoot!
Poe is being fostered in Austin, Texas, and transport out of state can be arranged for approved adopters. Please note, our process starts with an application. If we think you might be a good fit, we’ll reach out to coordinate a phone interview, followed by a video call with his foster home. A virtual home visit, plus personal and vet reference checks, are required to complete the process. Transport is included in our adoption donation.
Poe has an enthusiastic play style and loves to run, romp, and wrestle. He’s friendly and social with other dogs, happily interacting with pups between 35–75 lbs. He’s the kind of dog who wants to be friends with everyone he meets — tail wagging, body wiggling, and eager to say hello. When another dog’s had enough playtime, he usually takes the hint and moves on politely.
He absolutely adores kids and has lived with children ages 3–17. Poe’s gentle, affectionate nature shines through around them — he loves being part of a family.
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.
Poe is fully house-trained and crate-trained, sleeping quietly through the night from about 9:30/10 p.m. to 6 a.m. He’s always fed in his crate, not because he guards, but because it helps keep mealtime calm and routine. He’s never had any guarding issues with people and happily accepts treats or food from trusted hands.
Poe’s personality is a perfect blend of curious, smart, silly, and affectionate. He loves tug toys, belly rubs, and hanging out with his humans. One of his most endearing quirks? He takes his backyard duties very seriously — every time he goes outside, he performs a full “perimeter patrol” before relaxing.
He’s quiet when meeting strangers, preferring to take a moment to warm up before showing his true snuggly self. Poe is 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.
Poe would thrive in a moderate-to-high activity home that can keep him busy — he loves walks, play sessions, and having a job to do. 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 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.
If you’re looking for a playful, loyal, and big-hearted companion who’ll patrol your yard by day and snuggle by night, Poe is your guy. ?
