new SAR dog - meet "PONCHO"

You never know what our volunteers will run into when the go to the shelters. Suzanne went to San Bernadino City shelter yesterday to pick up 2 boys, Ryder and Austin. As she was getting ready to leave, a man with his small child was bringing in his beautiful young 1 1/2 year old brindle boxer to be turned in to this high kill shelter. Austin probably had 2 days to be adopted or not... Poncho is a great dog, great with kids, other dogs, and cats. Suzanne worked some magic and was able to find a foster for Poncho. So Poncho was saved before he ever got checked in the shelter. Talk about being at the right place at the right time! Poncho was well taken care of by his former owner, was neutered and is up to date on shots. His owner basically traded Poncho in for a newer model. He no longer wanted Poncho so he can concentrate on his 6 month old puppy. Nice lesson to teach your children, jerk. But this owner's loss is Sachi's gain.

Get your applications in right away. Poncho is a gem and is going to find a forever home very quickly. He is doing great in his foster home. We will keep you updated with info and pictures.
