Notes from Animal Rescue Fund of MS

Poncho has been waiting since 2019, and this sweet soul still greets the world with soft eyes and a hopeful heart. He came into the shelter with a severe injury to his leg that required surgery to place pins/a rod, and he had a long healing time. The scars can still be seen on the outside, but he is a great dog! No chaos, no big demands-just a gentle companion with a good heart. Poncho could fit in just about anywhere. After all these years, he deserves more than shelter walls. He deserves a home.
