Ideal Home/Adopter: If you are looking to keep your floors clear of toys and your home squeak-free, Poncho is not the man for you! He absolutely loves all toys and his favorite hobby is emptying the toy box and playing with every.single.one! Poncho really loves kids and is super respectful of them, sometimes he even leans his butt into them to encourage pets. For the most part he is pretty laid back, but he gets spurts of energy where he wants to run and be rowdy, but the mood leaves as quickly as it comes. He would probably enjoy another dog around the same energy/personality level the most. Unfortunately, he is a little unsure of kitty friends and has tried to chase them. He is happy to be by you, or entertain himself. He has the best smile and when he runs he has a rumpy little corgi-like butt!

Likes: TOYS! Treats, kids, short rowdy play sessions (or just co-existing), fetch, water

Dislikes: Cats

What makes this dog special: Poncho is like an older man in a younger dog's body. He still wants to enjoy life, loves to play, but doesn't demand or need TONS of exercise and stimulus. He is old enough to know better, but young enough to still keep up!

Poncho's adoption fee is $350. All fees include spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, worming, flea and heartworm current. All dogs over 6 months of age have been tested and are heartworm negative. If you are interested in adopting, apply at rescuedohio.org to become an approved adopter and a meet & greet can be set up once approved.

The Collie is a graceful and intelligent dog known for their loyalty, gentle nature, and exceptional herding abilities. They come in two coat varieties, rough and smooth, with colors ranging from sable and white to blue merle. Collies excel in obedience training and thrive on mental stimulation and physical activity. Their keen intuition and strong bond with their owners make them wonderful family pets and reliable working dogs in tasks such as herding livestock or in search and rescue missions.
