his dog is available to meet by appointment only. Sweet, gentle Poet is on the lookout for his forever family after being found stray and in tough shape. He is now making great progress in learning to trust and make new friends, displaying his impressive leash walking skills and enjoying the affection of our dedicated volunteers. Poet would be best suited for an adult home with experienced, committed adopters willing to take it slow, help him continue to build confidence and show him the world safely. Poet is a 6-year-old, 78-pound pittie mix. He would do well with appropriately matched dog companions or as a solo dog with dog friends.
