Poe has an enthusiastic play style and loves to run, romp, and wrestle. Hes friendly and social with other dogs, happily interacting with pups between 3575 lbs. Hes the kind of dog who wants to be friends with everyone he meets tail wagging, body wiggling, and eager to say hello. When another dogs had enough playtime, he usually takes the hint and moves on politely. He absolutely adores kids and has lived with children ages 317. Poes gentle, affectionate nature shines through around them he loves being part of a family. When it comes to walks, Poe does best if hes 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, hell 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. Hes always fed in his crate, not because he guards, but because it helps keep mealtime calm and routine. Hes never had any guarding issues with people and happily accepts treats or food from trusted hands. Poes 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. Hes 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 doesnt 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. Hes 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, hes 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 hes eager to learn and loves pleasing his people. If youre looking for a playful, loyal, and big-hearted companion wholl patrol your yard by day and snuggle by night, Poe is your guy. ? ___ Breed and Age Notice: The listed breed and age are our best estimates.
