My story

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

Apollo is an amazing, handsome pup looking for a patient and loving home.  He may be a little shy at first, especially around new people and leashes, but with time and gentle encouragement, he blossoms into a loyal friend. Once he's comfortable, Apollo is an amazing walking buddy—calm, steady, and a joy to have by your side.

One of Apollo's favorite pastimes is playing fetch! He absolutely loves chasing after his favorite toys, and it's a great way to bond with him as he warms up to you.

Apollo thrives with a dog sibling who can put up with his playful puppy energy. He would do best in a quiet home without small children where he can build trust at his own pace.  He has plenty of love to give to the right person or family who understands his need for a little extra time to feel safe.

If you're ready to offer Apollo the loving home he deserves, he’ll reward you with a lifetime of companionship, loyalty, and countless games of fetch.

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)

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.
