My story

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

Location: Hopewell, VA

Hi, I’m Blue!

I’m a 3-year-old adventure-loving, cuddle-approved pup who’s been patiently waiting for my forever home. I’m housebroken, kennel clean, don’t chew up my bedding, and I’m a big fan of chew toys, tennis balls, and anything that makes my tail wag. I love going on hikes, car rides, and learning new things. I’ve worked with a trainer, walk well on leash with consistency, and respond great to e-collar training. I enjoy enrichment games and having a job to do, but I’m just as happy leaning in for a good cuddle once I feel safe.

I’ve met kids and enjoy their company, and I do well with other dogs when introduced properly (especially my foster sister, Haven!), but I’d also be perfectly happy soaking up all the attention as an only dog. I love both men and women, though I tend to really thrive with a confident, active male owner who enjoys adventure as much as I do. I’m not a fan of cats.

I’m getting restless waiting in my kennel and all I really want is someone to say, “That’s my dog.” If you think that might be you, I’m ready when you are.

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)
7. Finalize adoption (contract, collection of adoption fee and transfer of medical records)

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.

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.
