What a silly and fun boy Pancho is. He has a whole lot of energy and he loves to play! Pancho's ideal day is playing all day and then having a really good meal and finally taking a really long nap. Pancho can't be around cats and he probably would be happier not having any small dogs in his life. Because Pancho is so high energy (and because he can get very focused on toys during play) he may do best with an experienced owner. Interested in learning more?

I was transfered to the SBHS to be adopted. Im still here waiting... While Im waiting Ill describe my perfect home. I have been in a foster home that has been amazing (because I get really cool treats and a huge bed) but its time to find my permanent home. Im a very handsome 8yo neutered male chihuahua mix. I have a really hard time seeing because I have cataracts, but my hearing and sense of smell are amazing. I just love to fall asleep in your lap, especially when I am wrapped in a blanket or towel (I call it the Justin burrito). Because I can only see a bit of light I really need the time to get to know you and figure out what you are doing. Are you trying to feed me or pick me up or what?.....TRUST is a must and it may take a short bit of time. I love routine. Im housebroken. I prefer quiet households without a lot of traffic. I need to be the only animal in the house, ok maybeI could live with a fish. I love sleeping in bed and I enjoy sleeping in...ok,ok I just enjoy sleeping period! I like to go for walks but not too far since I have short legs and Im 8. I dont want people to just reach out and grab me or touch me because I can't see and I dont know what you are doing, that is why I prefer to trust just 1 or 2 people so that I have them trained the way I want. Im very quiet unless new people walk in the door then I will bark to alert you they are here. I currently go to work with my foster person and I stay in the office with the human until we go to the house. I wasnt sure about car rides at first but they arent too bad, I usually just sit in my seat and then lay down. Did I mention I like treats and sleeping. Interested in learning more?

I love people. My perfect day would consist of laying in a sunny carpeted spot for a few hours, snuffling around in the grass outside, and curling up for some Netflix in the evening. People who meet me remark on my gentle eyes and disposition. Can't adopt me, but interested in fostering? I have arthritis and my joints hurt from standing and laying on the hard floor here. Shelter life for a senior like me is not perfect. I know I'll find my forever home soon because I am so friendly and easygoing.
