About Poncho

Poncho is a charming little guy who's all about personality and love. This six-year-old mix, likely a blend of Corgi and Dachshund, has short legs and a docked tail, making him adorable and low to the ground. Weighing 14 pounds, he’s housebroken and knows how to use a doggy door, enjoying his time in a secure backyard. Poncho does best in homes with children aged nine and older, as he’s a bit of a door dart until he settles in. Sweet-natured and playful, Poncho bonds quickly with his human, making him a true 'velcro dog.' He enjoys playing with toys, rolling on his back, and even bunny hopping. While he’s fostered with other dogs and does well, he can also thrive as an only dog, focusing on his beloved person. Walks might not be his favorite, but he's perfectly content running around his own backyard or snuggling up on the couch at night. Poncho is healthy, neutered, and up-to-date on vaccinations.
