My story

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

Location: Gloucester, VA

This solid little fella is Roscoe, as sweet as he is handsome. Roscoe is friendly to all and would do well in a home with or without other dogs. There is some thought that he might have some Cattle Dog in his family line. This might mean he is extra smart and energetic. Roscoe is a lot of fun and enjoys playing with the volunteers outside but could easily be happy as a couch potato on a cold winter day. Please come visit him and see what a great fella he is.

Roscoe is heartworm positive but he can still be available to leave the pound and go to a home. The future adopter will be fostering to adopt while he is treated. The cost of the treatment will be covered by the pound.

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)

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.
