My name is Poco!

Poco is a sweetheart with a personality that’s best described as the perfect blend of calm, happy, and quietly excited about life. He has an incredibly easygoing nature and a gentle temperament that makes him a joy to have around. One of the best things about Poco is just how effortless he is—he’s the kind of dog who fits right in and quickly becomes your favorite cuddle buddy.

When it comes to the good stuff, Poco knows what he likes! He’s a big fan of pepperonis and freeze-dried treats, and he absolutely loves sniffing everything—every walk is an adventure in smells. On leash, he may pull a little when wearing a harness, but he is manageable overall. Car rides were a learning curve at first—he needed a little treat encouragement to hop in—but by the third ride, Poco was climbing in all on his own with confidence. He had some mild anxiety and would whine a bit, but he settled nicely by laying down in the back seat and showed no signs of motion sickness.

Socially, Poco shines. He spent time with older children and adults, and was friendly with everyone—both familiar and new faces alike. The same goes for other animals; Poco is welcoming and friendly whether he’s met them before or not. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving, easygoing companion who’s happy to cuddle, explore the world one sniff at a time, and greet everyone with a friendly vibe, Poco might just be your perfect match.
