I am a 6 month old, Neutered Male, Labrador Mix.
This place is loud and scary. The people are nice, but the barking dogs terrify me. Why am I here? I’m scared of the cat things too. I have lived my life in a very small cage. My person was here, but he is gone some place called military now. The lady told me over and over I was going away. They said I should tell you about myself, but I don’t even know what to say.
I love nice people, but I don’t like things going fast or hands coming to me or new things. At least until I know what they are. I certainly don’t like walking past barking. I can’t do it. I really want to get back to my person or to someone who likes me. I promise to be a good boy. I guess I don’t like things more than I do like things, but that has been my life. The others look so happy here. They do things and gets treats. I don’t really know much but sit. I want to give love. I like when the nice people sit with me. I love when they pet me slowly and carefully. It makes me feel safe. I hope to feel safe more and more. Maybe you can give me a safe place to rest and learn what I do like. I will be you very best friend. Maybe just you and me for a while maybe no small kids right now. It’s just too much for me. You seem to understand. I think I might like you. Are you free for a walk? And maybe dinner? and maybe we go to your house?

Poncho has won our hearts. He is crate trained, house trained, 42 pounds. He was ok with dogs (that are not barking at him in his face). He is unsure of cats. But politely interested. He would do best in a home with older children who understand how to work with a fearful dog (15+). Basic obedience training will help Poncho be his best self and give him confidence. His world has been very small up until now. The next steps for him will be very overwhelming and need to go slowly. Slow introductions to life are best. He is going to be someone’s best friend and a gentle soulmate when he meets the right person. Maybe that will be you! He deserves the very best we can give him♥️
