My story

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

Peter is a young, energetic male and around 45 pounds. His foster mom nicknamed him 'Speedy' due to his ability to zip, zoom and bulldoze his way through life like a little ray of clumsy sunshine. No matter what life throws at this boy he comes up on top, his unwavering elation causing all in his path to smile and chuckle. While Peter is an unstoppable quipster once comfortable, he needs a patient home as he can be shy with unknown people. He has made leaps and bounds in his confidence and quickly warms up after which he wants desperately to be included in everything and loved on. He has shown no aggressive tendencies towards other animals (not even the pesky squirrels, birds and bunnies he sees on walks) and has even been in a foster home with cats with which he respectfully shared his space. Peter is an energetic little guy and does need a somewhat active environment to be happiest.

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.
