Here's what the humans have to say about me:
To apply or get more info on Pony, go to:
https://www.heartsforpawsrescue.com/219873/2024/2/28/pony
Pony is a 3 month mixed breed male. He is fostered with other dogs and kids aged toddler-teen. Pony is very sweet, loves attention and cuddles, and very unbitey and gentle for his age/stage. Pony enjoys being outside but with his person/people is very much where his heart is. He is a “best friend” kind of guy. Pony has made great steps on his young dog potty training. He would do best with a family that is home during the day, but has made great progress on being left alone for periods of time in his crate and riding in the car. He thrives with lots of people and lots of love. He will most likely do just fine with cats given proper intros; he would love to have a dog sibling as he loves to play with his Foster’s dogs. Pony would be a wonderful addition to a family with kids; he is the perfect example that you don’t need to go to a breeder to get a perfect family puppy!
Pony is part of the “Farm Litter”, rescued from an outdoor holding facility outside Fresno. He is being fostered with his sister Lamby in San Francisco. Mama was a very sweet 40 lb mixed breed, and dad unknown. We think Pony will be a medium/large dog when fully grown.
Pony is being fostered in SAN FRANCISCO, CA.

$450 adoption donation includes includes age-appropriate shots, microchip with free lifetime registry, deworming, flea preventative, and spay/neuter agreement addendum.
Ideal home will:
Have the time to commit to all things puppy! Please note puppies do not do well left alone long hours. Long work schedule where the puppy would be left alone for 7+ hours can be difficult on most puppies and young dogs.
Solid plans for puppy socialization, positive exposure and continued training + relationship building -- commitment not just to puppyhood but to a lifetime of love, care, companionship and vetting. HFP advocates for Positive Reinforcement only for young puppies and training that focuses less on "obedience" and more on confidence building, relationship building and consent training.
Preference to homes w/ friendly & well-trained dog role models (preference, NOT required)
Preference to homes w/ yards (preferred, NOT required) Why? Puppies cannot go in public until they are 4 month old and complete their puppy shot series. Having a yard during this time greatly helps with play, potty training, and providing an outlet for your puppy to get outside. There are ways to work around this if you do live in an apartment setting but it takes some extra work and planning!
Interested in adopting?
1. Please complete our online form at heartsforpawsrescue.com/adoption-application
2. We will respond in 1-3 days for a call!
3. If it sounds like a potential match for you and the dog of interest, we will promptly set up a meet and greet at the foster home
Please note we are a foster-based rescue meaning our dogs are in individual foster homes throughout sac and the bay. For this reason we may only be able to schedule meets for one dog at a time (or litter). The average timeline between app submission and a meet and greet is 3-5 days. Please only submit an application for a specific dog if you are ready to adopt that animal within a week's time.
