My story

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

Location: Gloucester, VA

Loyal! Smart! Loving! Playful and funny!

These are the words that Pongo's foster mom uses to describe him. While he has been at the pound here for over a year, no one can quite explain why. Pongo has great house manners, likes playing with other dogs but wants most to be close and snuggled in to his humans. He stays close by and listens to the commands he is given.

He loves the water and walking through the woods or a grassy field. He has taken his lapdog skills to a new level! He wants a person all his very own.

Pongo and D'jour, another long timer at this pound, are best buds and will play till they both flop down in the grass.....so if you would like a pair??

Please come meet Pongo and give him the greatest gift of all, his very own home for the holidays! Pongo is truly one of a kind! His foster mom can answer any questions you might have. To get more info or to contact his foster mom, just text/call Joyce at 757-376-8360 or email at emersonjoyce76@outlook.com

Thank you for helping a homeless dog.

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.
