My story

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

Breed: Mixed breed

Age: Adult (9/8/19)

Size: Large? He weighs 83 pounds (needs to lose 3 more pounds) but he’s not very tall

Looking for an 80 pound cuddle bug? Then Bigfoot is the boy for you!

Bigfoot is an almost 5 handsome man looking for his forever home! He traveled all the way from Georgia to train with Rachel Koehler Dog Training so he could overcome some anxiety that the living in the kennel caused. Since being with RKDT he has really started to come out of his shell and now he is ready for a place to call his own!

He is relatively low energy, he would be just fine with a leisurely walk around the neighborhood or some playtime in the yard. After that, he’s ready to hang out inside with you! He can be a little shy to warm up to new people, but once he is comfortable with you, he will sit next to you as long as you’ll pet him!

He would prefer a calmer home, so no young kids. He just wants to relax and hang out with his people. He does well with other calm/well mannered dogs and seems to be drawn to the smaller dogs. Though I think he would be completely happy as an only dog!

Bigfoot comes FULLY TRAINED! He knows 10 Obedience Commands as well as basic manners. So no jumping, barking, pulling on leash, counter surfing- none of that! He is fully potty trained and crate trained. He does great in the car! Adopters will be taught all of his training so they can maintain his “good boy manners”. They will also be able to bring him back to RKDT for boarding should they ever need a safe place for him to stay if they have to travel without him (or even just for playdates with his doggie friends)

Overall Bigfoot is a very sweet dog and I know he would be the perfect dog for someone!

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.
