Story
Greetings, hoomans of the internet, I'm Pancho! I'm a bundle of energy and affection and I would love more than anything to have a forever home to call my very own. Please read my whole bio as I am looking for an experienced dog owner. I am picky about other dogs, but great with cats. And I need some time to warm up to new men. My foster human says that I am an amazing, one-of-a-kind, super-duper special dog, and when the right person takes a chance on me, they are going to fall in love and never let me go! I really am destined to be someone's heart dog.
I've got skills! Potty trained? Check. Sit, Stay, Down, Shake, Roll-over? Double check. I'm also crate-trained, but I'm such a good boy that I free roam when the humans are away and I never get into any trouble. I can go 8-10 hours by myself without a problem. I'm still learning not to pull on the leash, but I've made great progress and with a patient hand, I'll be a pro in no time.
But let's talk about what really makes me tick...snuggles and walks! I might be built like an athlete, but deep down I'm convinced I'm a lap dog and I'll curl up, sprawl out, and make myself right at home in your lap. And when I'm not cuddling up to you I love to be outside exploring. If you're an active individual who loves a good workout, we're a match made in heaven. Hikes, jogs, walks, - I'm up for it all. I love splashing around in the water and going for car rides which makes me the perfect adventure dog. I also came from a home with lots of cats and I would be happy to have some feline friends to keep me company in my furever home.
There are a few things I'm not a big fan of. Men I don't know make me uneasy - especially when they approach my people. But as long as I have some time to get to know them and learn they're not a threat, I warm right up. My foster grampaw is one of my most favoritest humans ever! It took me a little time to figure out he was a cool dude, but now I love him so much and get the zoomies every time he visits. I also need a home without kids. I am picky about other dogs, and need a family who understands and respects my boundaries, and doesn't put me in unsafe situations. With a slow introduction I do well with submissive dogs, and I really, really love young puppies. I'm an amazing big brother to the foster puppies in the house - so patient and gentle, even when they're treating me like their own personal jungle gym.
Being a loyal protector is in my DNA. My humans are my top priority, and when we're out, I'm like their personal bodyguard. Safety first! This means I would make a wonderful companion for someone who wants to go adventuring by themselves and feel safe while doing so.
I'm looking for a human who knows the ropes - someone who is experienced with dogs and can take me on lots of wonderful adventures. If you're up for snuggles, walks, and a loving, goofy, and loyal companion who's always ready for action, I'm your pup!
