About Bonded pair

Meet Hans and Poncho, a bonded pair looking for a loving home together. These two were found outside a church in Smithville, TX, where a kind lady took them in, wanting to avoid a high-kill shelter. Poncho, a sweet and shy Border Collie mix, is around 12-18 months old. With his black and white fur, he’s quiet and polite, enjoying treats and gentle pets. He may be timid initially, so if you find him hiding, he might just need some time to come out. Hans is the younger companion, a brindle brown and white Spanish Mastiff mix, estimated to be about 8-10 months old. He’s mellow and cuddly, loves playing ball, and enjoys snuggling up next to Poncho or his human. Both boys are affectionate and do well with humans, dogs, and even cats. While they might take a moment to warm up, patience will help them build confidence around new situations. Consider opening your heart and home to these two sweethearts. They truly deserve a fresh start together. Kind Spirits is a nonprofit rescue dedicated to saving dogs from dire situations. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
