My story

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

🤎 Meet Poncho – A Gentle Soul Seeking a Second Chance 🤎

Poncho is a 3-year-old neutered male Chihuahua with a tender heart and a story that deserves to be heard. He found himself at Washoe County Animal Services along with his two pups, Great Prince and Thumper, after their owner was incarcerated and could no longer care for them.

In March 2025, Chihuahua Rescue Truckee Meadows stepped in to rescue Poncho and his little family. While his pups have been adjusting, Poncho is still slowly warming up. His ordeal left him feeling fearful and unsure, and he continues to carry some trauma from his sudden change in life.

Poncho wants so badly to shine. Beneath his worries is a loving, gentle boy waiting for the right home to help him feel safe, loved, and understood. He needs a quieter environment where he can grow at his own pace and learn to trust again without pressure or chaos.

✨ Could you be the one to give Poncho the patient, peaceful home he so deeply deserves? ✨

Give him a chance, and he will show you just how special his love can be.
