My story

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

Location: Gloucester, VA

Hi. My name is Pongo. I am a short stocky little neutered man of only three. I've been at the shelter for like...well, a very long time. BUT this super awesome lady and her family invited me for a few sleepovers. There I learned that I absolutely LOVE humans and living in a home! Like...I even followed her all around the house and helped her clean up crumbs that she dropped on the floor. I took her on walks by the water and even did a bit of wading in the water too. I even kept her toasty in bed. While they had other dogs, I really think my perfect home would be just for me and my humans. I have been at the pound so long that I really want them all to myself. We can play with my favorite tennis ball over and over. I promise to be the best boy. I would really shine in that situation. If you are interested in meeting me, I would just love meeting you.

Contact my friend, Joyce, and we can make it happen! emersonjoyce76@outlook.com or text/call 757-376-8360

2. Phone interview
3. Reference Checks
4. Meet and greet with the dog you are interested in (and any dogs you may have)
5. Home inspection
6. 1 week trial run (in home)

The entire process can take 1-3 weeks to process, so please be patient and understand if you live outside of the Greater Richmond Area, the process may take longer. Our goal is to place the right bully in the right home.

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.
