Ponyo
AvailablePonyo is a young, small Yorkshire Terrier/Chihuahua mix living in Cherry Hill, NJ. She’s a spayed female, up to date on vaccinations, and does well with other dogs and children over 12. Ponyo is not yet fully house trained but is comfortable using pee pads and being in a crate. Her playful nature and need for companionship make her a great fit for a home with another dog or someone home often.
About Ponyo
Ponyo is a 4-year-old, 6-pound Yorkie mix with a spirited personality and a playful streak. She enjoys fetch and tug of war, as well as cuddling on her person’s lap or playing with toys. Ponyo gets along well with dogs and is friendly with kids over 12. She prefers company when she’s in the yard and needs a secure, fenced area or someone to take her on short, leashed walks. Housebreaking is still a work in progress—she uses pee pads and is crate trained, but she’ll need continued consistency and patience. Loud noises can make her nervous, so a calm, stable environment will help her feel secure. Ponyo’s ideal home has someone present most of the time or another dog for companionship. She thrives with people who will take the time to help her adjust, provide structure, include her in daily life, and allow plenty of cuddle time on the furniture. The rescue prioritizes local applicants, as home checks and meet-and-greets with all people and animals in the household are required. She’s already spayed, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and microchipped. After adoption, Ponyo needs about two weeks to settle in quietly with her household before meeting new people. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
