My story

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

My name is Mr. Ernest Bellyrub. I am seeking a position in a family and feel I would be a huge asset if hired. I am searching for a family that will fully appreciate my many strengths and is in alignment with the things I find import in life.  These include walks, especially if those came in the form of a hike in the woods and a splash in a stream, a soft place to lay my big head, and of course all the belly rubs. I am an active strong boy but mature enough to come back to our place of employment and quietly finish chewing on my assigned bone. In return, I will give you my undying devotion and will be the goodest boy in the whole world! I do best as part of a team that makes their expectations clear and follows a schedule I can depend on but is willing to work on new skills and continued education. I have experience living in a home and am crate trained and house broken.  I am exceptionally qualified in the area of snuggling and people pleasing, I can even successfully ham it up at the vet’s office and make everyone go ‘awww!’ If interested in my qualifications or if you would like to speak with me directly, please contact my people at Ring Dog Rescue.

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)
7. Finalize adoption (contract, collection of adoption fee and transfer of medical records)

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.
