My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

**Meet Day Day: The Sassy, Sweet, and Smart Companion** Day Day's story is one of resilience and newfound happiness. For the first nine years of her life, she endured the hardships of being a junkyard dog, only to spend the next two years in a shelter. But now, at 11 years old, she's experiencing the love and security of a real home for the first time. 

Despite her challenging past, Day Day exudes sassiness and intelligence. She's quick-witted and always keeps her humans on their toes. Yet, underneath her sassy exterior lies a heart of gold, filled with love and affection. Day Day's favorite pastimes include cuddling on the floor, playing with toys (sometimes a bit too enthusiastically!), and going for walks, although recent health issues have put her on temporary exercise restriction. But don't let her age fool you—Day Day prances with excitement on her walks, embodying the spirit of a much younger dog. 

While Day Day may have some quirks, such as resource guarding tendencies and separation anxiety, she's a loyal companion who thrives on human connection. She's happiest when she's by her human's side, soaking up all the love and attention she can get. 

Day Day’s ideal home would be one without children or other pets, where she can be the center of attention. She's looking for someone patient and understanding, willing to work with her to improve certain behaviors and provide her with the love and security she deserves. Despite her past hardships, Day Day’s zest for life is undeniable. She's ready to embark on this new chapter with her forever family, bringing joy, laughter, and plenty of sass along the way.

More about this rescue

Ring Dog Rescue is a 501c3 pit bull rescue organization based out of Richmond, Virginia. Our focus is on the rescue, rehabilitation and long term placement of pit bull-type dogs in our region, as well as on the continued and ongoing education of the general public on the true character of these dogs and their role in altering the current societal perception. In 2009, Ring Dog Rescue placed 87 dogs in loving, permanent homes across Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, Washington D.C., New Jersey, Pennsylvania and South Carolina, representing a 26% increase in dogs adopted from 2008. Our dogs come from various sources, including local kill-shelters, as strays or even as removals from neglectful situations. Our dogs are provided full and complete medical care, including spay and neuter, vaccines, microchips and remediation of any ailments the dog may suffer, placed in foster homes, taught to be a family dog and then placed in an adoptive home, after a thorough screening process.
