My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Poncho arrived as s tray so we have no history for him.

He is a Pitbull Terrier mix although we have no idea what he is mixed with. He is protective of whomever he attaches himself to. He is leery of strangers and it will take some time (possibly a few visits) to get him comfortable with new people. Unfortunately we do not know how he is with children or cats. We would suggest older teens or no children in the home though.

Poncho is clean in his kennel, LOVES toys, he is smart and knows some commands. We suspect he has previous home experience and may be partially if not completely housetrained.

As with all of our dogs you must meet Poncho and complete an application to be considered.

Here is a Tiktok video of him playing:
