Poe's Story

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/>Over the past six months in foster care, Poe has made wonderful progress and continues to shine. He's patiently waiting for the right family to discover him and give him the forever home he deserves. He lives with 3 other dogs in his foster home and has learned to share attention and share treats/training time. <br/><br/>He is walking well on a leash, he rides perfect in the car, he will chase and retrieve a ball! Poe will do doggy puzzles and really loves to chew on toys. During his down time, he really just wants to lay near your feet and be with the ones he cares about and trusts. <br/><br/>Poe needs a home familiar with the Aussie breed, has a good bit of activity in the home, and even a female canine companion would be ideal. We believe is good with cats as well. Poe needs a special kind of home with a little patience initially - one that understands he simply needs to build trust.<br/><br/>Maybe you're the heart Poe has been patiently waiting to steal - and the forever companion he's ready to devote himself to.<br/><br/>Apply at Aussie Rescue of the Mid-Atlantic, https://aussierescueofthemidatlantic.org/applications-2/
