Meet Poet: The Legend, The Lad, The Larger-Than-Life Doberman Puppy and BIG Brother

Step aside, world. Make room. Because Poet is coming through — and even at just 4 weeks old, he’s already got main character energy. This black and rust Doberman prince isn’t just a puppy… he’s an experience. A vibe. A gentle giant in the making who’s currently wobbling around like a baby moose on roller skates but will soon grow into an absolute unit of grace, muscle, and mischief.

As the big brother of the crew, Poet takes his job seriously. Which is to say, he bullies with love, cuddles with enthusiasm, and keeps a watchful eye on his sisters Rhyme, Epic and Sonnet — when he’s not stealing their toys or stepping on them like a clumsy bodyguard with paws too big for his body.

Poet’s paws are MASSIVE. We’re not saying he’s going to be big, but you might want to start looking into a king-sized dog bed and a forklift. He’s already giving off “future 90-pound lapdog” energy and we are here for it.

WARNING: Adopting Poet will require the following:

• Fenced yard – This boy needs space to run, explore, and be the majestic beast he was born to be. A 5-ft fence minimum. (No, seriously.)

• Stable home – Not one that disappears every Mercury retrograde. Poet’s looking for forever, not "just for now."

• Commitment – 10 to 15 years of cuddles, chaos, and canine poetry written in muddy paw prints across your heart and your floor.

• Willingness to crate train, socialize, and attend obedience training – Because Poet’s going to be big, bold, and brilliant, and he needs a human who can help him become the goodest boy of them all.

Things you can look forward to with Poet:

• Snoring louder than your grandpa

• Slobbery kisses that defy physics

• Epic walks where he carries a stick bigger than your arm

• Hiking, jogging, therapy work, obedience titles — he’s up for anything

• Sitting on your foot forever because it brings him joy (and because he's convinced he’s still lap-sized)

Poet isn’t just a dog — he’s your future best friend, hiking buddy, co-pilot, and probably the reason you’ll cancel plans just to stay home and stare at him. He’s the full Doberman package: brains, brawn, beauty, and a heart too big for his own ribcage.

Adopt Poet. Become part of his legend. And make sure you’ve got good liability on your heart… because this boy is going to steal it.
