Story
Pancho is a 2-year-old hound mix with the kind of quiet magic that sneaks up on you — soft eyes, gentle manners, and a heart that clearly loves deeply. He came to the shelter with his littermate Bella, and watching him lean into that bond tells you everything you need to know about who he is: affectionate, loyal, and happiest when he’s close to his people. Pancho isn’t loud or demanding; he’s the dog who curls up nearby, follows kids around with patience and care, and makes a house feel like a home simply by being in it. Sweet, calm, and wonderfully tender-hearted, Pancho would thrive in a family where love is shared freely — and once you meet him, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without him. The adoption fee for this pet is $75. This cost includes spay/neuter, microchip, and all vaccines.December 23, 2025, 11:49 am
