About Poe

Poe is a large, energetic Border Collie/Labrador mix with a signature goofy grin and an affectionate streak. After his previous family could no longer care for him, Poe landed at the shelter and has been making the most of his days watching folks walk by—always hoping he's next for a stroll. In the yard, he's happiest splashing in the baby pool, leaping in and out, or playing a quick game of fetch before settling in for some loving attention. On his walks, Poe likes to take in his surroundings and sniff anything interesting along the way. He's dog friendly and enjoys socializing, but he really should go to a home without cats. For families with an active lifestyle looking for a dog who brings both fun and joy, Poe is a strong match. He loves to cuddle and will always nudge in for a good pet or head scratch. Born in early February, Poe is an Aquarius—a sign known for individuality and charm. He’s waiting in Cape May Court House, NJ. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
