My story

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

Pennington County Humane Society 



💛 Meet Poncho — Our Big, Sweet Mystery Boy
Poncho came to us as an unclaimed stray from the city pound, and while we're still getting to know him, one thing is already clear: he's a sweetheart. At about 70 pounds, he's a big, lovable presence who greets the world with enthusiasm and a happy heart.

He can be a bit excitable and pulls slightly on the leash, but it all comes from eagerness and curiosity. With a little consistency and positive reinforcement, he'll settle into a great walking companion.

Because he's new to us, we're still learning more about his personality and preferences. What we do know is that he's friendly, affectionate, and ready for someone who can give him the structure, love, and fresh start he deserves.

📞 Please contact us at 218‑681‑8045 to meet this sweetheart.
