This handsome boy was adopted earlier this year but sadly returned just a month later. Pongo is a truly special pup who needs an equally special home to match.
At just 6 months old and 45 lbs, Pongo is full of energy, smarts, and heart. While we were told he might be a Border Collie/Lab mix, we aren’t entirely sure, what we do know is that he won’t get too much bigger and that he’s 100% adorable.
Pongo can be nervous in new situations or around unfamiliar people, but he’s been working so hard to overcome this. He even spent several weeks with our friends at stylek9dogtraining, where he learned amazing skills that will set him up for success. His future family will continue his journey with a few follow up classes, already covered in his adoption fee, because consistency is key for this sensitive boy.
What makes Pongo amazing:
Walks beautifully on leash, calmly and politely (even sitting at stops!)
Crate trained & fully housebroken
Snuggle king who always wants to be near his people
Playful, smart, and food motivated, he learns fast!
Loves doggy friends, is good with cats, and would thrive with or without another dog in the home
Because of his nervous nature, Pongo would do best with older, dog savvy kids. A yard to run, play, and chase squirrels would be a dream for him.
To help him settle in, Pongo will even come with his special “place bed” included in his adoption fee, we want to give him every chance to succeed.
Pongo is sweet, loving, and so ready for a family who will understand his past and nurture his bright future. Could that be you?
