My story

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

Meet Pongo, a gentle soul who has overcome more than most dogs ever should. Rescued from an abusive situation, this sweet boy is still learning to trust, but with a little patience and a lot of love, he’s blossoming into the loving companion he was always meant to be. Pongo may be timid at first, but once he feels safe, his quiet affection shines through. He’s the kind of dog who thrives in a calm, patient home where he can continue to heal and grow. Pongo is looking for a patient, understanding family who will help him build confidence, offering him a peaceful space where he can truly feel at home. If you have room in your heart for a dog who just needs time and love to shine, Pongo will be forever grateful for the second chance you give him.
