Ping is an adorable, large 10‑month‑old German Shepherd mix with a joyful spirit and a heart full of love. He and his brother Pong were brought to the shelter as young strays after being found dumped at a dog park at just five months old. Despite that rough start, Ping has grown into a fun‑loving, happy boy who embraces every moment.
He loves playing in the yard, splashing in water, chasing toys, and going for walks. At the shelter, Ping delighted in greeting visitors and spending time with staff — he’s social, friendly, and always ready for connection.
Ping is a wonderful dog with so much potential and so much love to give. He is available for adoption in the Greater Los Angeles area and can be placed separately or with his brother Pong.

We ask you to begin by filling out an adoption application to express your interest in any of our animals. Once we receive the application and looked it over, we will contact you to answer any questions you may have about the pet and set up a meet and greet with the 4 legged friend you are interested in.
At that point, if you are interested in moving forward with the adoption, we will conduct a home check to make sure everything's good. We will ask you to sign an adoption agreement and ask for a donation for the adoption process.

More about this rescue
The Jason Debus Heigl Foundation was founded by Nancy and Katherine Heigl to celebrate the memory of a wonderful son and brother. In 1986, Jason was killed in a car accident. He was only fifteen years old.
Throughout his brief lifetime Jason loved all animals, especially dogs and cats and monkeys. He lived his life extending compassion and kindness to all creatures great and small. This foundation is his legacy.
The mission of the JDHF is to eliminate the needless suffering inflicted on animals by human cruelty, indifference, and ignorance. Our primary focus is the greater Los Angeles area, for now.
In pursuit of our mission, the JDHF routinely funds:
Our internal rescue group, the Heigl Hounds of Hope.
Other qualified rescue groups, via Networking donations.
The Transport of LA shelter dogs to states with great demand.
Free Spay Neuter procedures for the pets of qualified caretakers.
Compassion Education programs.
And we thank you for your support.
