My story

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

Location: Martinsville, VA

Kelo came to us as an owner surrender due to the owner being elderly and no longer being able to care for him. Even though Kelo is on the older side, he is very much full of life. Age does not slow down this boy one bit. He is a happy boy who adjusts well to his surroundings and is friendly to every human he meets. Though he prefers a livestock-free home, Kelo gets along great with other dogs (as long as they are not dominant). He has an awesome off-leash recall and is a huge snuggle bug. Kelo is also a heavy chewer so he just asks that you please get him tough chew toys for his chewing tendencies. He has been with us for almost 4 months now and is beyond ready to find his forever 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.
