Hi there, I’m Poe—your future favorite pup! I’m a sprightly Norwich Terrier (with a dash of mystery) weighing in at 14 pounds of pure cuteness. I’m still in my puppy phase, which means I’m a mix of snuggles and zoomies, with a side of “Who’s that? I’m gonna go say hello!”

I’m a people pup. Seriously, I’m the dog that follows you around, makes sure you never feel alone, and gives you the best kisses for extra credit. Whether we’re chilling on the couch watching TV (I’m an expert remote-watcher) or playing with my favorite ball and stuffed animals, I’m here to keep you company. I’ll even help you catch up on your favorite shows because, let’s be honest, I’ve got the best seat in the house.

I’m still getting the hang of leash walks, but don’t worry—I’m basically a professional zig-zagger right now (so much to sniff, so little time), and with a little guidance, I’ll be a leash-walking pro in no time, so if you have a fenced yard that would be great, but it isn't needed since I'll soon be a leash King.  Also, potty training? Well, I’m just a few steps away from being totally perfect. I love food, so you bet I’ll be extra motivated to get it right.

I’m super chill around other dogs and I get along with pretty much everyone, big or small, which makes me the ideal doggie playdate buddy. I’m not sure about cats yet, but I’m always down to meet new friends. I’m crate trained and sleep through the night like a champ (though I may let out a few protest barks at first).

My ideal family is one that’s ready to help me grow into the best boy I can be. I’m so eager to learn and am already well on my way to being your new best friend. If you're looking for a playful, loving, and totally adorable pup to bring some joy into your life, I'm your guy!

**Obedience classes are required when adopting this puppy from Underdog Rescue. Many of our puppies have a mama who was not properly socialized before coming to Underdog Rescue. Since coming to Underdog, this puppy has been in a socialized and loving home, but that needs to be continued with its Adopters. Training classes teach puppies the ins and outs of being a pet while creating a bond with their new Adopter. Obedience classes are key to creating a relationship with your puppy while having it be a happy and successful member of society. Proof of Obedience Class registration is required for this puppy before adoptions can be finalized. If you would like some suggestions, we would be happy to send some trainers who have experience with Underdog Rescue, but a Basic Obedience class in your area should work!

Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home. 

T his puppy requires an application fee. This fee must be paid within 24 hours or your application will be considered void.  We will not review or contact applicants that have not completed the payment portion.  

Puppy Applications will be responded to within 5 business days, after receipt of the application fee.  Please understand that paying the fee does not guarantee you will be approved to adopt the puppy. Our goal is place puppies in homes that are suited for their individual needs. You may be willing and able to provide a great home, but if it doesn’t meet the specific needs of the puppy, we will not approve your application.

We accept applications for puppies until we have a candidate that meets all of the requirements needed for the specific puppy and they have been contacted to review the adoption process as well as agree to all of the terms to move forward.
