My story

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

Location: Gloucester, VA

Meet Persephone. Isn't she stylish and striking? An exotic look that goes with her exotic name. Sweet Persephone came in as a stray and has quickly stolen hearts. She is looking for a forever home as special as she is. She is an elegant pup who would prefer to have a home where she gets all the attention. Since being at the pound, she has become somewhat selective towards other dogs. We don't know about cats.

Maybe she should be called a diva? Maybe not...but she does love a good cuddle and a walk with her person. She can be strong on her walks, but then she only gets out for a little while everyday. So a fenced in yard where she can hang with her peeps on a pretty spring day would be perfect. She is a young, smart, healthy and energetic dog so would need a home that can deal with that energy.

Looking for a jogging or exercise partner? She just might be your gal. If interested, please contact Joyce at 757-376-8360 call or text ; emersonjoyce76@outlook.com

Thanks for helping a homeless dog.

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.
