About Poco
Poco is a charming little guy who makes a memorable entrance with his unexpectedly deep bark, which could easily be mistaken for a much larger dog. This young Dachshund and Chihuahua blend, with tricolor coloring, balances playful antics with thoughtful moments. At just a year old, he's curious and ready to discover the world, pausing momentarily at new faces but quickly warming up to beloved humans for tail-wagging fun. While he enjoys running and playing, Poco also knows how to unwind and cherish quiet time. He’s learning to trust that human touch brings joy, not fear. Leash training is a work in progress, but his small successes keep adding up. Poco thrives in a home with patience and routine and would love to share it with a small dog but can also navigate solo happily. Currently being cared for by Addicus' Legacy Dog Rescue, Poco is all set to find a forever home that appreciates a sensitive soul with a big personality. He can be transported to the Greater Philadelphia area, making him accessible to adopters in Eastern Pennsylvania, Southern New Jersey, and Delaware. If Poco's playful spirit speaks to you, he's ready to meet his new family. Ready to adopt Poco? Please apply directly at shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ALDR/Dog.
