Poe

Poe is a striking double merle Australian Shepherd with a heart as big as his beautiful blue eyes. He was picked up as a stray alongside another double merle and ended up in a shelter, where both were scheduled to be euthanized. Thankfully, ARMA couldn't let that happen - they stepped in just in time, giving Poe and his companion the second chance they truly deserved.<br/><br/>Now safe in his foster home, Poe is slowly discovering that the world isn't such a scary place. But it's important to understand - Poe is deaf but appears to be able to see quite well. Poe meets people comfortably while on a walk, or out at a brewery. Despite these challenges, Poe is making steady progress, he is now comfortable with in his people in his foster home, building that trust/bond that he so deeply wants and needs and now readily accepts affection and hugs. Each new person is a process, but well worth it; he becomes your best buddy when you give him time.<br/><br/>Poe enjoys romping around the yard, chewing on toys, chasing a frisbee and feels most at ease when he's near the people he's learning to love.<br/><br/>Poe is currently living comfortably with 3 other dogs in his foster home and has learned to share attention, share treats/training time and goes on walks quite well. He has also become a cuddlier; as he continues to blossom and show how loving he can be. <br/><br/>Poe needs a special kind of home with a little patience initially - one that understands he simply needs to build trust. Poe is worthy of a chance, and may be the one who quietly steals your heart.<br/><br/>Apply at Aussie Rescue of the Mid-Atlantic, https://aussierescueofthemidatlantic.org/applications-2/
