My story

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

How can you say no to these puppy eyes! Buttercup is only about 5 months old, she spent her first 6 weeks in a shelter but once she went into her foster home she has truly blossomed. She is super smart, crate trained, walks great on leash and is continuing to strengthen her potty training each day.   Buttercup is a spunky girl that adores playing with her doggie siblings and then snuggling up with her people. She did good when we cat tested her and since she’s so young I am sure she can learn to be friends with a savvy cat sibling.  Buttercup loves to meet new people and dogs as she ventures out into the world.   Don’t let this beautiful baby pass you by! Put in an application and prepare to be dazzled by this sweet girl.

Steps to adopt

1. Fill out an Adoption Application
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)

Our adoption is fee $150.00, due at the end of your week trial, and includes spay or neuter, rabies (if of age), vaccinations, worming, microchip and any other medical required for the health of the particular animal.

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.

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.
