About Poncho

Poncho is a friendly and playful 3-year-old neutered male mixed breed, a German Shepherd and Doberman Pinscher, tipping the scales at about 80 pounds. Currently in the care of his rescuers in San Gabriel, CA, he’s looking for a loving home. Poncho has a caring disposition and is friendly with strangers after a proper introduction. At home, he lives comfortably with his owners and their small grandson but could be overwhelming for younger kids due to his size and energy. He's great with other dogs, including small breeds, having cohabitated peacefully with them. While he enjoys being around dogs, Poncho gets quite excited upon spotting a cat or squirrel on walks, so a cat-free home is recommended. Poncho is housetrained and has received basic obedience training, knowing commands like "sit," "stay," and "come." He walks reasonably well on a leash but may need further training as he sometimes likes to lead, pulling a bit when excited. Known to cherish his time playing fetch, he enjoys car rides, being a polite passenger secured in a harness. The adoption fee for Poncho is $100, and he's ready for his forever home. If you're looking for a sweet companion, Poncho might just be the big dog you need! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
