About Poco

Meet Poco, a charming blue-eyed gentleman with the heart of a cuddle bug and just the right amount of Husky sass to keep things lively. Poco was left to fend for himself when his owners moved away, relying on the kindness of neighbors who tried to feed him. Surviving on the streets of Central Texas during the summer was tough for any dog, but fortunately, a foster stepped in to provide the safe and loving home Poco truly deserves. Despite his rocky past, Poco remains incredibly friendly and affectionate. He delights in cuddling, spending quality time with his humans, and making new canine friends. He's great with kids and loves engaging in playtime with other dogs. After some fun and games, Poco is more than happy to settle in beside you for some cozy couch time. He has a moderate energy level, enjoying adventures but not requiring endless exercise to be content. Poco is the perfect blend of his breeds, boasting those stunning blue Husky eyes. He enjoys expressing himself with a howl or two, so dog lovers seeking some vocal companionship will appreciate his personality! Additionally, he's picked up some of the Great Pyrenees' natural protective instincts, making him loyal and observant. While Poco is curious about cats, he should have a careful introduction as he hasn't been tested with them at home. It’s best to keep him away from chickens or other fowl due to his past experiences. Neutered and vaccinated, Poco is ready to find his forever family. He has reasonably good dental health but may need a professional cleaning in the next year or two. After being abandoned, Poco deserves a loving home where he can thrive. If you're seeking a friendly, affectionate companion with stunning blue eyes, a playful personality, and plenty to say, Poco could be just what you're looking for!
