Meet the charming Pancho, a delightful 5-month-old Shepherd mix looking for his forever home! 🐶❤️ Sadly, Pancho has been diagnosed with a treatable upper-respiratory illness, and he's on a race against time to find a loving family who can help him recover and thrive! Imagine this sweet boy recovering in a warm, cozy living room instead of a cold shelter. 💔 It’s a must! Since January 26, 2026, Pancho has been at the Kern County Animal Services - Bakersfield Shelter, where he has seen too many dogs come and go. He’s ready to leave the stress behind and bring joy to a new family! Now, Pancho has the spirit and the charm to light up any home. With his playful antics and affectionate nature, he is sure to steal hearts. Just picture the cuddles and laughter! 🥰 But here’s the catch: potential adopters must be in Kern County to foster him, as the shelter needs a safe haven for him to recuperate. With so many dogs in need at this shelter, this handsome boy is at high risk. 💔 Dogs over five months old, like Pancho, often face challenges due to limited space and an overwhelming number of abandoned animals. Together, we can change his story! Now, here’s where you come in! If Pancho's charming personality has caught your heart, *apply through the Buddy App* to make him a part of your family! You can bookmark his profile in the app to stay updated on his journey toward health and happiness! Don’t wait—Pancho needs you more than ever! 💖
