About Poe

Meet Poe, a playful and spirited pitbull mix searching for her forever home. At just over four years old, she’s packed with personality and doesn’t miss a chance to turn playtime into her favorite event. Toys, fetch, tug-o-war—all fair game. If you’re hoping for an active dog who thrives on games and interaction, Poe should be at the top of your list. She gets along with other dogs after proper introductions, but she likes things her way and isn't big on sharing toys or food with canine friends. Cats are a mystery for Poe; she's never lived with one. Poe likes to be outside when it’s warm, cuddles up with a jacket in colder months, and loves lounging in front of the heat vent. She knows some basics—sit, place, and how to wait for her food. She’s house trained, does well in a kennel, and is comfortable left out in designated areas. Her allergies are managed with a plan including medicated baths, daily Apoquel, an omega 3, antihistamines, and a salmon-based diet. Any adopter must be committed to continuing her care and regular vet visits so her allergies stay under control. The rescue provides a 30-day Apoquel supply to get you started.
