About Poncho

Meet Poncho! This charming 1-year-old, 14 lb Chihuahua-Pug mix comes with a delightful squishy face and a personality that could brighten anyone's day. Rescued from a high-kill shelter in Texas, Poncho quickly became a favorite at the facility, bringing joy to everyone around him. Poncho is not only incredibly friendly but also social and filled with energy. His goofy antics and playful nature keep the smiles coming, whether he's zooming around the house or cuddling up beside you. Potty trained and crate trained, Poncho thrives on human companionship and would be thrilled to snuggle in bed if given the chance. He's great with other dogs, although he can get a bit overly excited on walks, often barking at other pups. Training will help him manage this enthusiasm, and he's eager to learn—especially if treats are involved! His ideal home would offer consistent exercise, love, and engaging activities. As a curious little explorer, his new family should be prepared to ensure he doesn’t dash out the front door when it opens. Poncho is neutered, fully vaccinated, and ready for a loving home. We believe in making thoughtful matches, which is why Farfel's offers a one-week trial period to ensure a perfect fit. If you think you can provide this sweet boy with the life he deserves, please consider applying today!
