Sancho Panza

My story

PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.6/16/25 Sancho Panza and his brother, Don Quixote, were strays and taken to a shelter. Unfortunately, their time was up at the shelter and they were going to be euthanized for space. Thankfully, we had spots open at the Arkansas Paws in Prison program, so we were able to take them into our rescue and place them at Paws in Prison!   We will continue to update this post as we receive more details and info on Sancho and how his training is going. He began at Paws in Prison on 6/9/25 so he will graduate the week of August 4th. We hope to have a home ready and waiting for him at that time!   Paws in prison is an amazing program where dogs are paired with inmates whom they are with 24/7 for 8 weeks. The inmates work with the dogs everyday on basic training, basic obedience, house training, leash training, etc. and even some tricks! They meet weekly with a certified dog trainer. This is a wonderful program and so beneficial for the dogs and the inmates!   Sancho is a good boy who is very food motivated and eager to learn, so training should come along nicely. He is very friendly and great with other dogs. Sancho has shown mild food aggression with his brother, which we are not sure if that is just because they are brothers or if he would be the same way with other dogs. This is something they will work on with him at Paws in Prison.  He does have some of the typical young pup behaviors like jumping for attention, etc. Paws in Prison will also work with him on this.    So far, Paws in Prison has said he is a very curious boy, friendly, and quick to learn. He has a freckled face and a white tipped tail!   He is young, about 7 months old. We do not know his breed but we believe he may be a Pointer mix. He currently weighs 37 pounds.    He is heartworm negative, microchipped, neutered, and UTD on vaccinations.     Located in Arkansas, but transport is available.
