My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

When people talk about dogs.. wishing they could be more like a dog.. Poe is what we refer to.. he's had some rotten luck in life.. but he is such a happy, fully present, utterly content wounded wanderer! Po sustained an injury and now his hind legs move as one limb with two paws! ITS AMAZING actually how well he moves along.. PLUS.. he's got an incredible attitude! Happy.. Poe is a happy happy sweet humble boy who's only got space for happy!

Poe thoroughly enjoys group plays with other get-along kinda dogs.. a challenging male dog will prove to be a bit threatening to Poe so we make sure to pair him up with wiggly, easy going, confident doggies. Pippy, Penny, Madeline, Leo to name a few of his buddies! As stated above, despite his previous injury, Poe sure does well sprinting around the yard with his buds. Once in a while, he might trip but he always gets right back up and continues play. Now.. Poe's most FAV game ever is FETCH.. he will chase a ball all day long! He even knows how to drop the ball on command (often in trade for a treat!!) so we can give it another throw. He'll often break away from the pack to join up in a nice ball game.

Guaranteed you'll never meet another dog like Poe in your life. We're not quite sure how Poe became the way that he is but we are sure he doesn't skip a beat! Did we mention he loves to SWIM?! Check out the photos of Poe's doggy paddle skills! A long hike to the reservoir is another fav activity for Poe!
