About Pogo

Meet Pogo, a charming young pup on the lookout for a caring foster or foster-to-adopt home while he prepares for upcoming medical care. Pogo has a dislocated leg that is causing him some discomfort, and we're working diligently to gather the necessary funding for his surgery. Despite his current challenge, Pogo remains joyful and full of energy. He adores toys and being outside, and is eager to soak up all the affection he can get. His foster family should be ready to help him learn basic manners as he grows. He's also shown he's quite social, getting along well with both cats and dogs at the shelter.
