My story

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

Lucy is a sweet, beautiful girl. She is fully house trained and knows some basic commands. She loves to take walks and get lots of love from her people. She's awesome on the leash, but if she does start to pull, she takes correction well and stops. Lucy gets along with other dogs but she does have a tendency to be bossy so smaller, submissive dogs and/or male dogs would be a better fit for her. Absolutely no kitties though. She's not a fan of felines. Lucy is used to being in a quiet home and is sensitive to energy levels so a laid back, but still active, home would fit her well. We would recommend a home with older children. (13 years and older.) She is mid-sized at around 45lbs and our vet estimates her to be 7-8 years old.

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.
