Here's what the humans have to say about me:
🐾 Meet Poncho: Your Future Cuddle Companion! 🐶
🌟 Introduction:
Hola! I'm Poncho, a dashing young boy who has journeyed all the way from the streets of Mexico to find my forever home in Canada. Rescued from abandonment by an owner leaving me to defend myself, I'm now thriving under the care of my wonderful foster dad, and I can't wait to bring joy and love to your life! I believe I am a Schnauzer mix (so I have been told), approximately one year and 12lbs.
❤️ Personality:
I'm not just a pretty face; I'm a super-loving and friendly boy who adores being close to my humans. If you're in need of a cuddle buddy, look no further – I'm your guy! I get along famously with people and other dogs, spreading happiness wherever I go.
🚶♂️ Training Progress:
I haven’t tried leash walking yet but, my foster dad believes I'll ace it in no time. House training is going well, though a few accidents might happen as I adapt to my new surroundings. My indoor barking is minimal, but I may not be able to contain my excitement when greeting people outside.
🍖 Treat Enthusiast:
I have a weakness for treats, and I take them oh-so-nicely. My foster dad is even considering an Amazon search for a tummy rubbing machine – that's how much I love belly rubs!
🏡 Ideal Home:
I thrive in a house with a fenced backyard, where I can run and play freely. Another furry friend would be great, but I'm open to being your one-and-only too. I'm still getting the hang of playing with toys, but with your love and patience, I'll be a pro in no time.
💖 Special Notes:
🌈 Energy Level: Medium
🌬️ Shedding: Yes, so if you have allergies, I might not be the best match for you.
📝 Ongoing Updates:
As I continue to settle into my new life, my profile will be regularly updated. So far, I'm described as amazing, adorable, and sweet – and I can't wait to be a cherished part of your family!
🏡 Apply Today:
Don't miss out on the opportunity to welcome me, Poncho, into your heart and home. If you're ready for a lifetime of love, laughter, and tummy rubs, apply today and let's start our journey together!

As my foster family gets to know me my profile can change and will be updated accordingly. Check back often for details! An application for me can be found at www.justpaws.ca.
Just Paws is located in the Greater Toronto Area of Ontario, Canada. We do not adopt out of province or country.
Please note that although many of our dogs get along with children, we are not able to adopt to any household with kids under the age of 8 years old. This is a stipulation of our insurance and is not a reflection on suitability of the potential adopter.
