Looking for a tiny shadow with a big personality? Poncho might just be your perfect match. Poncho is the definition of a "Velcro dog"-once he decides you're his person, he is ALL IN. This little guy lives for cuddles and will happily take every opportunity to snuggle up close. He may take a minute to warm up, but once he feels safe, you'll have a loyal companion by your side (and probably in your lap) at all times. Now, let's be honest... Poncho also comes with a little sass. He's a self-proclaimed "grumpy old man in a small body" and isn't shy about setting boundaries. He'll give you a warning growl when he's feeling bothered-and he means it! But the good news? Poncho communicates clearly, and once you learn his "I'm annoyed" vs. "I'm serious" voice, he's very easy to respect and live with. Because of this, he would do best in a home without young children who may not understand his boundaries. Poncho currently lives with cats and other small dogs. He doesn't cause trouble, but he's more of a "roommate" than a "best friend." He'd do best with calm, laid-back companions-no puppies or high-energy kittens for this guy. Underneath his tough little exterior, Poncho is actually quite timid and still learning that the world is a safe place. He'll thrive in a patient home that lets him move at his own pace and build confidence. The good stuff: Champion cuddler & loyal companion Potty trained (goes to the door!) and making great progress with marking since being neutered and wears a wrap if needed. Playful and goofy-loves to spin in circles with his favorite toy Poncho is the perfect mix of sweet, sassy, and sensitive. He's looking for someone who will appreciate his quirks, respect his boundaries, and give him all the love (and lap space) he deserves. If you're ready for a devoted little sidekick with personality for days, Poncho is waiting for you. Apply to adopt at hsdavie.org/dogs
