My story

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

Location: Blackstone, VA

*** URGENT: Time is running out for this sweet boy! ****
Are you looking for a buddy? A Pal? A good ol friend for quiet walks on a beautiful fall day?

How about someone to snuggle next to you by the fire? Or someone to lie on the couch and watch the big game? Someone who knows how to be a best friend? Then you need to meet Dan! Ol Dan is a healthy and happy older guy who finds himself with out a family or home. He may have had one at one time, but something happened and he was found on his own out in the country. He has taken these hard times in stride but would clearly love a new home and someone to rub his head, tell him what a good boy he is and offer treats and love. While at the pound, he appears to get along with other dogs, is sweet and loving and can be tested with cats, if needed. He appears to be calm and healthy. It will be hard not to fall in love with those big brown eyes, as have the folks at the pound who see him daily. This guy is a great candidate for Bestest Friend of the Year!

He would also be open to an appropriate rescue if that would work. He needs out of this shelter as the dogs here have little time to find safety. This is a tiny place even tho they are well cared for while they are here.

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.
