About Poochie

**Located in New Hampshire** Meet Poochie! This big, happy puppy is a 7 to 8 month old Pit Bull/Lab mix, weighing around 50 pounds. Previously surrendered, Poochie is now in foster care, and his sweet and loving nature is shining through as he settles in. Poochie is active and playful but already knows how to unwind. A daily walk, some playtime, and a stash of toys keep him satisfied. He loves people and shows his affection openly. Although he can get a bit excited and jump when someone visits, he’s learning to manage this behavior. He gets along well with other dogs, enjoying playtime and respecting corrections. Plus, he’s been brilliant around the cat in his foster home. Resource guarding is not an issue for him; he shares food, treats, and toys without a fuss. Poochie is house trained and has adjusted well to his crate, sleeping quietly all night. His leash manners still need some work, as he tends to pull when excited. However, he’s improving rapidly with practice. Looking for a companion for adventures? Poochie is your boy! Poochie is neutered, current on vaccinations, and will have a health certificate prior to adoption. If you want an active best friend who loves attention and playtime, consider making Poochie a part of your family! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
